The Simplifier | Simplify your message — Amplify your impact | SaaS/B2B Founders: Get your Message Market Fit — Turn tech jargon into clients

Hi, I'm Daniel, The Simplifier :)

If your message is lost in translation, I'm the one who makes it understandable, relatable, and memorable. I rewrite confusing landing pages into understandable ones, with clear positioning and messaging that clicks with the right audience.

I work with founders who struggle to explain their products due to complex or confusing messaging. This is especially painful when a valuable product can't scale because the audience doesn't understand it.

SaaS — fastn, vloxq, Wellnessentially, TED Data, Wellview Solutions, Apiary Book, TechBolide
B2B — Witanalytica, Meaningfy

Work with me - https://calendly.com/thesimplifier/30min

Marketing consultant and brand message strategist for SaaS and B2B companies across various industries, with revenues ranging between 100k Euro and 2M Euro.

A founder told me our services are too expensive. He decided to hire someone on Fiverr and pay them a lot less to write some texts for LinkedIn.

But then I went on his profile and saw his last post. It starts with:
"In today's world, integrating AI solutions seamlessly into your workflows is no longer optional—it's critical."

The Simplifier | 1-hour session = 1 month of LinkedIn content | Grateful father of 3 daughters 🙂 | 800+ consecutive days of running

"I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be speaking at the prestigious Tekpon AI Summit..." 
No, no, no!
Nobody talks like this in real life. But still, we see this type of content every day in our feeds.

So I'll simply say that, on November 27, I'm speaking at the Tekpon AI Summit in Bucharest. 

I'm not an AI expert, so why would I speak at an AI event?
Well, because people who built AI tools need to market and sell them.
And content plays an important role in any go-to-market effort. 

There are so many AI tools and solutions on the market that claim you can use them to create authentic content that sounds like you.

But this is a lie. That's simply not true. 

And I know this because over the past 2 years, I've written more than 1000 LinkedIn posts.. 

So far, I haven't found a tool to create content that actually sounds natural. (I won't claim to have tested them all, so if you find one that truly does it, please share it with me.)

BUT using AI in the process definitely helps. Just not in the way most people think.
AI is great for research, generating ideas, and brainstorming different angles. But it's terrible at capturing your voice.

More and more people have outsourced so much of their writing to an AI tool that their content has become unremarkable, unnatural, and robotic.

Therefore, at the summit, I'll show you how to use AI as a tool without letting it turn your content into something that inspires nothing and has no taste.

Grateful to share the stage with an incredible lineup of speakers like Charles Tenot, Angeley Mullins, Ionut Sas, Sara Maldon, Jeko Kolev, Valentin Radu, Frank Sondors 🥓, Bill Stathopoulos, Tom Hunt, Stefan Smulders, Alex Oprisan, Alex Baldovin, among many others. 

Thank you for the opportunity, Alexandru Stan, Cristian Dina, and Alina Maria Stan! And thank you to the entire Tekpon team for putting this together!

If you're in Bucharest next week, come say hi.

"I'd rather not post on LinkedIn than post the same bull***t that everyone else does."
That's what a founder running a $4.5M ARR software company told me a few days ago.

Their product has more than 2 million users, and the company is growing very fast. But he stopped posting on LinkedIn because he didn't want to tell the clichéd "founder story" everyone tells in the same way.

He doesn't like to talk about the standard stuff or about how hard it was to build the company. And he has a definition for all of that:

He calls it startup porn.

Instead, he wants raw honesty. Super raw honesty that no one shares. And he wants to be relatable, authentic, and different.

After we talked for 30 minutes and asked a lot of questions, I told him:
"You just did it. You literally just told me your story. Raw, real, authentic, and zero bull***t. That would be the best content ever."

That's exactly what we do at The Simplifier, Personal Branding Agency.
We extract stories from founders and C-level executives through monthly 1-hour sessions and turn them into thought leadership content for LinkedIn.

We take your words and your thinking and turn them into LinkedIn posts. That's it.
Because your best content is already there, you just said it in a client call last week.

The cost you pay for cheap content is way higher than the cost you'd pay to create high-quality content.

Most companies want to automate content because it takes time and money.
But something gets lost in all this automation.

People buy from people they trust. And trust comes from seeing how you actually think, not from reading what ChatGPT thinks you should say.

Every post you publish is an ad for the way you think. It either builds your credibility or destroys it.

So yes, cheap content is faster, easier, and it costs less upfront.
But in the long run, it costs you credibility and real business opportunities.
And that's way more expensive than the time it takes to create something valuable.

Prospect: I'm not interested. Thanks.

Me: Thanks for letting me know. I'm curious, though, you're not interested in the service, or it's just that our offer doesn't match your expectations?

Prospect: Yeah, the examples didn't really stand out as anything I could just write myself and the responses to them didn't seem to suggest there was much impact.

Me: If you take the posts one by one, yes, the impact is not huge. But when you post this type of content weekly, the impact compounds.
Yes, you can absolutely write this content yourself, and it would work great. The question is whether you have the time to do it.
Because writing one quality post takes 1-2 hours when you factor in structure, thinking, and writing. Multiply that by 8-10 posts per month, and you're looking at 15-20 hours of focused work.
And yes, you can use ChatGPT or other AI tools to speed up the process, but a founder in your position can't afford to publish generic content that sounds like 99% of what's published on LinkedIn.

As for the "didn't really stand out as anything" part, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Those posts have hundreds of likes and tens of thousands of views from the right audience. There you have the founders sharing their knowledge. It's not flashy. It's simple and straight to the point. That's exactly what people are resonating with on LinkedIn.

If you change your mind, feel free to reach out.

This is a real email conversation I had with a prospect.
This is the day-to-day reality of running an agency. Not everyone we discuss with becomes our client. 

We know we're not the right fit for everyone. But we want to make sure that after you discuss with us, you have a clear view of what it actually takes to write good content.

It takes time. A lot of time and mental space.

🌟 Are you ready to turn your LinkedIn profile into a client magnet? Let me show you how. 🌟

Hello! I'm Patrick, and with over two decades of corporate career and sales experience, I've learned a thing or two about making connections that count. 

My journey has taken me around the globe, working with diverse teams to not only meet but exceed sales goals through strategic LinkedIn engagement.

In 2020, I leaped into the entrepreneurial world, creating my own business from scratch—a decision that has been nothing short of exhilarating! 

It’s been a rollercoaster of learning, growth, and, most importantly, empowering others like you to achieve greatness.

🎯 Mission: 
My goal is simple but ambitious—empower you and your team to master LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. I’m passionate about transforming your online presence into a powerful tool for collaboration, brand enhancement, and sales success. Let's make your LinkedIn work as hard as you do!

♟️ Approach: 
Say goodbye to outdated theories and hello to dynamic, hands-on learning. My workshops and training sessions are anything but cookie-cutter. They're designed to be engaging, practical, and tailored to fit into your busy lifestyle, whether online or offline. We'll focus on what really matters—real results, real fast.

Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Stepping away from the corporate world was my biggest gamble. The challenge of building a consistent pipeline of leads and opportunities seemed daunting at first. But here’s the twist—I never stopped posting, engaging, or innovating. I developed a Lead System that not only worked for me but has since been successfully implemented by my clients, ranging from global corporates to ambitious solopreneurs.

Why Work With Me?
If you're tired of the grind and ready to make your LinkedIn presence effortlessly bring in more clients, I'm your guy. Whether you're looking to enhance your personal brand, increase visibility, or drive more sales, I'm here to make it happen with authenticity and fun. 

Let’s unlock your full potential together. 

Ready to start this journey with me? 🚀

P.S. I am based in Switzerland, and I don’t bite 😁 we can communicate in 🇨🇭🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇬🇧🇫🇷
