If you sell b2b these days... landing premium clients consistently is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

You've probably tried:

❌ Daily LinkedIn content — But got lost in the noise
❌ Generic outreach — Getting ignored or attracting tire-kickers
❌ Referral networking — Great when it works, but too unpredictable
❌ Being a "marketing generalist" — Only to compete on price with cheap freelancers

These approaches "work"...

But let's be honest - they're costing you more time and energy than they're worth... especially when you're trying to command $5K-$10K monthly retainers.

That's why we help b2b companies to unlock predictable client acquisition through Linkedin.

Within just 90 days, our team will help you:

✅ Position yourself as the premium choice in your niche (without becoming an "influencer")
✅ Build relationships with 1,000 dream clients (companies you'd be proud to feature on your website)
✅ Generate high-quality leads using a proven system that doesn't require daily posting
✅ Close retainer clients at 2-3x your current rates

Premium clients will be booking into your calendar each month…

All you'll have to do is close deals with prospects who already see your value.

We've helped 100+ businesses to book 2,000+ sales calls and earn millions in revenue through LinkedIn. Here's what our clients say:

"Within 22 days of implementing this system, I went from charging $1,000 to $3,000 per month and signed 4 new retainer clients." — John A., Marketing Consultant

"We added $160,000 in revenue within 6-months" — Ben, CEO @ Seneca Business Solutions

Ready to start attracting premium clients who value your expertise?

P.S. Our approach isn't about posting content every day or becoming another "LinkedIn expert". It's about building a systematic way to attract and close premium clients. Speak soon!

R.I.P. cold email agencies

Our clients booked 73 calls in the first 18 days of 2026 using ONLY Linkedin.

While most founders think cold outreach is dead.

They're wrong.

Cold email is dying. 

But Linkedin outreach works better than ever. 

I just packaged our entire Linkedin outreach system that's generating daily meetings for our B2B clients right now.

If you're a B2B Founder or sales leader struggling to fill your pipeline consistently, this will change your outbound game.

Cold email replies should trigger LinkedIn requests.

I was talking to an SEO agency owner who's crushing cold email right now.

14 calls booked this month from two campaigns he launched recently.

I asked him: "What happens when someone gives you a neutral or positive reply?"

Nothing, really. He follows up on email. Sometimes they go cold.

Here's what I told him:

Whenever someone gives you a neutral or positive reply on email, they should get a LinkedIn connection request.

Now you're hitting them on two channels.

If they go quiet on email, DM them on LinkedIn. Share a relevant post. Stay visible.

Even better: if you've got a good piece of content, send it with the re-engagement.
"
Hey, I wrote this on LinkedIn [insert why it's specific to them]- you might find it useful."

Then they see you everywhere. Like a flywheel.

Cold email and LinkedIn aren't separate strategies. They're parts of the same system.

You're writing LinkedIn content for people who will never buy from you. 

Content creators who sell LinkedIn courses get insane engagement. 30-40% response rates. Tons of comments. Viral posts.

B2B service providers copy their playbook and get nothing.

Because content creators are writing for everyone. Hooks that stop the scroll. Morning routines. Productivity hacks. Stuff that appeals to anyone with a LinkedIn account.

That's not your buyer.

Your buyer is a CFO who doesn't care about your morning routine. A CTO who isn't looking for life hacks. They're looking for someone who gets their actual problem.

When you write for the algorithm, you attract algorithmically. Lots of randos liking your stuff. 
Very few who can sign a check.

When you write for your buyer, engagement drops and your pipeline fills up.

Content stops being a magnet and starts being a filter. Weeds out the people who were never going to buy. Pulls in the ones with budget and authority.

We've worked with 100+ clients now. The ones who write for their buyer book more meetings than the ones chasing likes.

I send cold DMs for a living and I hate pushy outreach too. 

The pushiness people associate with cold outreach isn't about the outreach. It's about the targeting.

When you blast 5,000 random people with a generic pitch, that feels gross. 

Because it is gross. You're interrupting strangers who never asked to hear from you about a problem they might not even have.

But when you message 500 VPs who just liked a post about the exact problem you solve?

That's not pushy. That's helpful.

We've booked 2,000+ meetings at this point. The secret isn't some magic script. It's finding people who are already looking for help and starting a conversation.

We spend the lions share of time on targeting and list building. 

Because a boring message to someone with a real problem books the meeting. A brilliant message to someone who doesn't need you gets ignored.

Our clients book 3-4 qualified calls a week. Not because we're convincing anyone. Because we're reaching people who already want what they're selling.

Most people think LinkedIn outreach is a numbers game. Send more messages, get more meetings.

Doesn't work that way.

We had a client sending 45 messages a day. Getting maybe 2 qualified meetings a month. 

They were grinding.

We dropped them to 15 messages a day. Meetings went to 12 per month.

What changed? We spent way more time upfront building the right list. 

Instead of rushing through targeting to get to the "real work" of sending messages, we treated the list like it was the whole game.

Because it is.

Once the targeting was dialed, the daily work got easier. Less volume, better people, more replies.

They're now booking a qualified meeting every day. The outreach itself takes maybe 20 minutes because they're not chasing people that never intend to buy. 

The messages didn't get fancier. We just stopped sending them to people who don't have the problem.

A boring message to someone with a bleeding neck beats a clever message to someone who's fine.

Your sales team is wasting 80% of their LinkedIn time on content creation.

Here's what I see:

-> Sales VPs tell their teams to "be active on LinkedIn."
-> They spend 3 hours a week writing posts about industry trends.
-> They get 12 likes from other salespeople.
-> Zero meetings booked.

Meanwhile, their quota gap keeps growing.

The math is backwards:

80% of booked calls come from outreach, not content.

Content supports outreach. It doesn't replace it.

Your prospect sees your outreach message first. Then they check your profile.

If your profile shows you understand their world, they respond.

We've booked 2,000+ sales calls for B2B services.

80% came from targeted outreach to the right prospects.
20% came from people who found us through content.

Your sales team needs pipeline, not followers.

Get them off the content hamster wheel.

Put them back on the phones and keyboards. 

Here's what happened when we ran pure outreach for a recruitment agency — no content, no lead magnets:

Founder @ Growlancer | Done-For-You Linkedin Growth | Go to our website for a Free trial.

You DON'T need AI personalization to book meetings on LinkedIn.

You need relevance.

Here's proof:

Yesterday I set up a campaign in 15 minutes with:

→ No personalized first lines
→ No "saw your post about X" openers
→ No connection request message at all

Result? 

→ 2 meetings booked within 24 hours.
→ The secret isn't in the script.
→ It's in the strategy that happens BEFORE you write anything.

In the video below, I walk through exactly how I:

→ Identified a sub-niche
→ Found their specific pain
→ Matched my promise to their reality
→ Built the list using filters that actually matter
→ Wrote direct copy that earned the right to be direct

If you like the video & want some more examples of how this can apply in your niche...

I put together a comprehensive doc (not the one in the video) with 5 niche example walkthroughs.

This doc has everything you need to get this campaign set up today.

Want it?

Comment "RELEVANCE" & I'll send it over.

PS - If you want us to build a campaign like this for you (free trial, we contact 200 ideal prospects at no cost), book a call: https://growlancer.ai/

1 lead for every 38 Linkedin connection requests to eCommerce brand Founders & CMOs

That's not a typo.

In the video below, I broke down exactly how we built this campaign for a client in the affiliate marketing space.

This one worked because we started in the right place:

- Industry they had native credibility in
- Company size that matched their capacity
- Job titles that actually make decisions
- Social proof so strong prospects would be crazy to ignore it

The script basically wrote itself after that.

If you want the full document with the targeting breakdown, message psychology, and exact scripts we used...

80% of B2B sales leaders think they need more leads. They don't.

They just need better targeting.

I see this pattern constantly: Companies book 15-20 meetings per month but close maybe 1-2 deals.

The problem isn't volume. It's that they're talking to anyone with a pulse and a LinkedIn profile.

You already know there's a lot of wasted time.

Real lead generation has two phases:

1. Get the meeting
2. Qualify before the meeting

We pre-qualify every prospect with 3 simple questions before booking:

- Budget range confirmed
- Decision-making process mapped
- Timeline established

So our clients average 3-4 qualified conversations per week instead of 15 unqualified ones.

Less work. Better outcomes.

You don't need a bigger funnel. You need a better filter. 

Do you pre-qualify?

Your LinkedIn content got 500 likes and zero sales calls. Here's what happened: 

You spent 2 hours on it. Felt productive. Got engagement. Comments. Little dopamine hits.

Your competitor spent 30 minutes sending 15 messages to people who actually buy what you sell.

They booked 3 calls. You got likes from other marketers.

Content feels like work because it is work. But it's work that lets you avoid the thing that actually books meetings.

Outreach feels pushy. Salesy. So you convince yourself that posting is the play.

Here's what we see across 100+ clients: 80% of booked calls come from outreach. Not content.

Content isn't the thing that gets the meeting. It's the thing that answers "should I take this call?" after you've already reached out. 

Prospect gets your message, clicks your profile, sees you know what you're talking about. Then they reply.

That's the order. Outreach first. Content supports.

We've booked over 2,000 calls this way. Not because the content was incredible. Because the outreach put it in front of people who were already looking for help.

9 meetings booked in 17 days — all from cold outreach, zero content.

Everyone's obsessing over "becoming a thought leader" while their pipeline stays empty.

Here's what actually happened:

This client had been posting 3x per week for 8 months. Great engagement. Lots of comments.

Zero qualified meetings.

We paused content entirely. Focused 100% on outbound.

• Identified 500 sales VPs at target companies
• Sent personalized connection requests
• Followed up with simple, direct messages
• No clever hooks. No thought leadership.

We got him 9 qualified calls in under 3 weeks.

Content builds your reputation. Outreach builds your revenue.

Bad leads don't just waste money. They burn out your sales team. 

I see this constantly. Company hires a lead gen agency. Agency floods their calendar with meetings. Everyone celebrates the volume.

Virtual 🚀's  all round.

Then reality hits.

20 meetings booked. 2 show up. 0 close.

Sales team sits through bad-fit demos all week. 

Prospects who don't have budget. Prospects who aren't decision makers. Prospects who took the call because someone pestered them into it with their 7 step outreach sequence. 

After a few months of this, your best reps start avoiding the calendar. They stop trusting the leads. Pipeline dries up and nobody can figure out why.

The lead gen worked. The meetings got booked. So what's the problem?

The problem is most lead generation ignores everything that happens after the booking.

We've booked 2,000+ calls for B2B services at this point. The clients who see real ROI aren't obsessing over meeting volume. They're qualifying before booking. They're tracking show rates, not just book rates. They're optimizing for deal size.

Your sales team should be excited when a meeting hits their calendar. If they're groaning, your lead gen is broken. Doesn't matter how many meetings you're booking.

CEO @ Grow Solo I help the C-suite turn industry expertise into predictable pipeline

There are two ways agency founders try to turn LinkedIn into a reliable source of clients.

One is by guessing. Posting when there is time. Relying on referrals and hoping the next month is a good one.

The other is by building a system that creates steady conversations, even when client work gets busy.

Our clients choose the second.

→ Joya Dass (Founder, Women’s Leadership Lab)

The problem:

- She spent hours in the DMs to book a few calls.
- Content happened on weekends.
- When delivery picked up, sales stopped.

Some months were strong. Others were quiet.

Even in good months, there was stress about where the next client would come from.

What we did:

We built a simple LinkedIn content system she could run in house. No ghostwriter or agency retainer dependency.

We shifted her content from generic how to posts to insight driven thinking.

That changed the conversations. People in her network showed up aligned and ready to buy.

We added a content led outbound system powered by a setter we hited and trained. The system kept working while she focused on delivery.

Results:

- Revenue grew from $150k to $300k.
- Sales became predictable.
- The pressure eased.

→ Jonathan Crowder (Founder, Founders Ally)

The problem:

- No time for content.
- Unpredictable sales calls.
- Leads with no budget.
- No sales background. A 10 percent close rate.

What we did:

We removed Jonathan as the bottleneck. 

We built a content system using AI supported by his real thinking. It sounded like him, not software.

Trust was built before the call. Outbound went from 10% to 40% response rates.

We focused prospecting on real buying moments, like recent funding to catch buyers at the right time.

We simplified his sales process. Clear outcomes. Clear cost of inaction was communicated to his buyers.

Results:

- Meetings went from 3-5 a month to 10-15 sales qualifed leads a month.
- A visible pipeline. Increase to a 25 percent close rate.
- $300k in pipeline in 60 days.
- $30k in new revenue closed.

→ Brian Dukes (COO, Exit Wise)

The problem

- Ovelry dependent on referrals.
- No LinkedIn playbook.
- No time to write.

What we did

- We clarified positioning.
- Simplified the offer.
- Built a content engine.

Then we added outbound from the founder profile.

Everything was owned and run internally.

Results:

- Consistent posting machine.
- 500 to 6500 ICP followers.
- $740,000 in LinkedIn-driven revenue over two years.

We have helped 100+ founder led agencies replace unpredictable growth with systems they understand and control.

If this feels familiar, we should talk.

Founder

We help executives to build and monetize their brand on linkedin by scaling your content and turning it into leads, authority and thought leadership.

How?

Engagement + DM flows = Qualified meetings. 

Done with you. Done for you.

2022: I wanted 100,000 LinkedIn followers.

2026: Now I want 10 people who trust me enough to wire me $100,000.

This shift didn’t happen because I stopped wanting influence.

It happened because after 4 years on LinkedIn, I learned one simple truth.

It’s the difference between creators with under 5,000 followers making 7 figures a year from agencies or coaching…

And creators with 100,000 followers who struggle to break $100k.

I call it being "Known Well".

On LinkedIn, there are two paths.

First, the "Well Known" crowd.

Think Justin Welsh.
Broad content.
Viral posts.
Big complex funnels.

Courses for everyone.

Nothing wrong with that.

They are playing their game.

But that game only works with massive distribution.
Most creators chase this path.

They chase 100,000 followers.
They think it will change everything.

It won’t.

The real leverage is being "Known Well" by the right people.

You become niche-famous.

A small group knows you for one thing.
They trust you deeply.
Even 10-30 people like that will pay you well.

That’s how small accounts make $100k a month on LinkedIn.

They play the Known Well Game.

And it’s simpler than you think:


1) Comments

They build a list of the right accounts... people they want to be known well to (ICPs, influencers with their buyers).

They show up every day, pay attention to posting times, and leave insightful comments.

These look like mini-posts, because their aim is to make impact and become known to the right people.

2) They have an indoctrination content ladder

They don’t create for mass appeal.

They understand what’s required to take their specific ICP from skeptic to ready-to-buy ... and they focus on that ruthlessly.

These posts might get less than 10 likes… but the DMs are on fire.

3) They have an outbound motion that feels like inbound

They may not get the turbo reach of big accounts, but dialled-in content lets LinkedIn bring the right people to them.

They leverage profile views, engagement, and followers to start conversations with members of their small but mighty Known Well audience.

Using AI tools, they automate the top of this conversation and only jump in when people are interested and responding.

That’s how you get 10 people to wire you $100k.

That’s the game I want to play.

Build deep trust with people you can truly help.

Everything else on LinkedIn is noise.

Remember that.

I share weekly strategies on how to become known well in your niche and get clients from LinkedIn for your agency. Go read it here: https://lnkd.in/ezZpkchD

CEO @ Atticus | AI sales systems for founders | 5–10 deals/month from LinkedIn in <​ 30 mins/day I $125M+ pipeline generated for 100+ clients

There’s a new breed of agency founder emerging in 2026.

They don’t chase likes.
They don’t live in the DMs.
They don’t grind comments.

They’re called Leveraged Operators.

I’ve spent the last 4 years building LinkedIn sales systems for 100+ lean founders, and the pattern is clear: most are stuck in the activity trap.

AI didn’t just “help.”
It rewired the entire game.

That same ChatGPT agent everyone’s playing with can now map a full demand gen strategy in minutes. 

Meanwhile, founders still hope referrals and a “good name in the space” will carry them.

It won’t.

LinkedIn reach is down ~70%.
Referrals are lumpy.
Cold outbound without trust feels pointless and never leads to clients.

The symptoms are familiar:

- No time to sell
- Prospects treat you like a vendor
- Pipeline dies when you stop posting

I’ve lived it. It’s exhausting.

The founders pulling ahead are doing something different.

Leveraged Operators use AI, assets, and workflows so effort compounds.
They build 80–90% margin consulting layers on top of services using:

- Founder-led demand gen on LinkedIn
- AI agents that create and distribute content
- Content-led outbound that feels like inbound

Two years ago, I hit $60k in revenue in a month.

Profit? $4k.

More revenue. Less freedom.

Thats what building your business the old way gets you. 
Bigger numbers and little take home.

I burned that model down.

In 2025:

$250k profit
21,000 new LinkedIn followers
30–50 leads a month with AI doing the heavy lifting

Founder results mirrored it:

- Joya (Women’s Leadership Lab) doubled ARR to $350k and generates ~$540k in pipeline monthly.

- Jonathan (Founders Ally) went from 5–6 meetings a month to one a day in 60 days.

- Brian (M&A firm) closed $750k in pipeline with inbound-driven positioning.
That’s the Leveraged Operator model.

Not more content.
Not more DMs.
Not more headcount.

System > activity.

Want the exact strategy I’m using in 2026 to add 5–10 deals a month from LinkedIn in under 30 minutes a day?

DM me “Leverage.”

(Or you know you could spend another year on the struggle bus and watch your competitors apply the above model and eat your lunch...)

P.S I took these photos on my 4th holiday of last year with my Colombiana. It was the 3rd time I went to the Carribean. And it was only made possible by having a agency with the right systems to replace me as the bottle neck. You can do it too.

My client Joya Dass fired us after we doubled her business.

Then rehired us to build her in-house Atticus Predictable LinkedIn Sales system.

Phase 1 - October 2024 - August 2025

When we started with Joya Dass, Women’s Leadership Lab sat at 5 sales calls a week.

We took her to 10-20 qualified calls a week.

All from people who had already seen or engaged with her content.

Over that year:

→ Her rates went up by $10,000 from better fit prospects
→ She closed $130,000 from the Atticus Done-for-you system
→ ROI was 4.5x on what she paid us

We did not flood her calendar.

We filtered hard so she only spoke with senior women leaders from places like Harvard, Berkeley, high level firms.

Then we paused the done-for-you work after we sunsetted the done for you SDR service.

I counted that as fired.

Phase 2 - September 2025 - December 2025)

On a later call, I was about to refer her to another vendor.

Then I walked her through our new Atticus Predictable LinkedIn Sales system.

How she could bring all her client acquisition in-house in under 30 minutes a day...

We started again.

Different model. 

First 10 days:

→ Built a content bank in her exact voice with our content engineer 
→ Structured posts to shift beliefs and drive demand
→ Trained an agent in ChatGPT so she could write expert content herself
→ Mapped a 6 month content calendar tied to real sales conversations

Next 20 days, we built outbound:

→ Deep GTM research on her ideal client
→ Lead list playbook so she could find the right people on demand
→ AI sales rep trained on her offer, her tone, her dos and donts
→ Workflows triggered by real intent signals like job changes and thought leadership pushes
→ A/B tests on talk tracks until we hit message market fit (what she needed to send to get responses)
→ Plugged in and trained a setter once the machine booked meetings on repeat

Result in the last 2 months of the year:

→ $70,000 closed
→ Women’s Leadership Lab went from $150,000 to $300,000
→ Agency spend dropped from $4,000 a month to $400 a month
→ Her LinkedIn system now drives $510,000 in qualified pipeline every month

What you do not see:

We blew up campaigns that stopped working.
We rebuilt whole flows from scratch.
We had dead weeks where nothing landed.

Joya did not blame the system.
She co-created the result.

That is what my best clients understand.

You are not buying magic.

You are building a machine together. 

I recorded a step by step video on Joya’s whole strategy that doubled her business using LinkedIn, showing:

→ Why we did not fix her problem with content or outbound first
→ Why her content never generated inbound before, but did in 10 days with the new system
→ How we took her from 2–6 hours in the DMs a day to 30 minutes then to zero
→ Why she now only talks to people who already like, know and trust her

Comment "System" below and DM me “System” if you want the video.

P.S Proud of you Joya Dass and can't wait to see your growth this year.
