Your inbox is a negotiation. Stop winging it.

Pitchslap

Paste an inbound message and get a structured read on whether it's signal or noise, plus a calibrated reply.

The Problem

You get 50 to 200 inbound messages a week. Some are real. Some are noise. Most land somewhere in the middle, and every one of them needs three judgment calls: is this person legitimate, is there anything worth exploring, and what's the minimum response that keeps options open without signaling desperation?

Every sales framework ever written was built for the sender. Nobody built the receiving end. So you improvise. You either ignore everything (and miss the one real one) or you answer everything (and spend your Tuesday on tire-kickers). Neither is a strategy.

What it does

Paste an inbound message and get a structured analysis (is this signal or noise, what's the likely intent, what's your best move) plus a calibrated reply. The replies read as human-written, don't leak your position, and stay platform-safe. Up to 7 reply variants across 5 response types: Dismiss, Verify, Park, Explore, and the Velvet Guillotine (close it cleanly, without burning the relationship). 15 tone configurations. Follow-up drafts for the conversations worth continuing.

Free Version

Classify the message + one recommended reply. Enough to see how it thinks.

Paid Version Adds

All 7 reply variants, LinkedIn enrichment on the sender (so you know who you're actually talking to), all 15 tones, and follow-up draft sequences for conversations worth developing.

Who it's for

Founders, GTM leaders, and anyone whose inbox is a negotiating table they didn't ask to sit at. If you spend more than 20 minutes a week figuring out how to respond to inbound pitches, Pitchslap pays for itself on the first conversation.
