Hey RevGenius! 👋 I'm Luis—product/security builder 🔐 working on verifiable-review tech using applied cryptography (the math/encryption kind, not meme-coins 😄). Big fan of security protocols, trust systems, and all things cryptographic. Would love to connect with anyone else nerding out on encryption, zero-trust architecture, or authentication mechanisms. Drop a comment or DM if this is your jam!

On trust signals in cold outreach - a hypothesis I'm testing: Been studying why some cold emails get 10%+ response rates while most die at 1-2%. The pattern I keep seeing: verifiable trust signals beat vague claims every time. Think about it - when everyone says "trusted by leading companies," nobody is trusted. But what if trust was mathematically verifiable, not just claimed? I'm building authentication infrastructure for this exact problem (fake reviews cost businesses $300B annually), and here's the framework I'm developing for B2B outreach: 1. Specificity beats superlatives: "We prevent FTC fines" > "We're the best solution" 2. Risk framing beats benefit framing: "Avoid $53K per violation" > "Increase trust" 3. Proof architecture matters: Not just "see our case studies" but "here's how to verify them" Question for the group: What trust signals actually move the needle for you when evaluating cold outreach? Logo walls? Customer quotes? Something else? Testing this thesis: In a world where 74% of consumers can't spot fake reviews, the companies that make authenticity verifiable (not just claimed) will win. Curious what's working for others here.

Hey RevGenius! Luis here from California. Building REF - enterprise infrastructure that makes fake reviews mathematically impossible through cryptographic authentication. Background: USC MBA, currently focused on B2B SaaS in the trust & safety space What I'm working on: With the FTC now imposing $53K penalties per fake review, I aim to help enterprises get ahead of compliance while protecting their reputation Why I'm here: Learning from revenue leaders about how trust impacts conversion, and connecting with folks dealing with similar challenges in the review/reputation space Fun fact: Used to tease my buddy calling him Mr. Area 51 - now I'm the one building cryptographic mysteries! Looking forward to contributing and learning from this amazing community. Always happy to chat about authentication, trust metrics, or how fake reviews are costing businesses $300B annually.
