You want to generate demand for your business and build and expert presence on LinkedIn. 

I know how. 

Most founders I've worked with has these problems: 

- Being invisible on LinkedIn 
- Struggling with ideas and consistency 
- Spending too much time writing content that doesn't resonate

I use content to position you as the leading authority in your industry and make sure your ideal client recognises themselves in every line you publish. 

What's in it for you? 

- A personal brand that positions you as a leading expert in your industry
- A demand for your services
- Visibility for your business
- Warm leads

Best of all? You don't have to worry about it anymore. 

And you can go back to what you do best - serving your clients.

Helping you get more business through a real data-driven strategy | Curate a highly tailored and relevant network | Attract high-ticket clients without living on LinkedIn | Founder and CEO @Cogniva Analytics

1.5 years ago, my business was relying on inbound leads only. I was stuck in a feast-famine cycle. 

Today, I’ve helped build a successful multi-6-figure coaching company, The Blueprint.

In doing so, we had to master how to:

- Book qualified sales calls
- Turn them into paying clients
- Do it consistently

Without:

- Working 12-hour days behind a laptop
- Waiting months for results
- A large audience or advanced marketing skills

Now, we generate 5-10 leads per day.

And we’ve helped 200+ coaches and consultants do the same:

📌 Hasan Kubba: £120,000 in new revenue
📌 Sam Eaton: Sold out multiple masterminds (£5K per client)
📌 Harrison Cantel: Scaled from £4,000/mo → £10,000/mo
📌 Harry Phokou: Increased revenue from €2,000 → €8,000/mo
📌 Beth Hocking: Grew from 5 → 15 leads a month
📌 Ross Brown: Signed 12 clients in 3 months
📌 Matthew Proctor: Closed $40,000 in monthly retainers
📌 Camilia Berrada: Sold her £15,000 programme
📌 Chris Tran: $20,700 closed in 4 weeks
📌 Maya: 13 booked calls & 2 inbound leads in 28 days
📌 Gail: Booked her first ever sales calls in 3 weeks
📌 Maria Reid: 10 sales calls & 5 inbound leads in 1 month
📌 Dan: Booked 30 sales calls & 5 new clients in 3 months
📌 Susan: Signed a £6,000 contract in just 57 days
📌 Hollie: Booked 3 sales calls in her first 3 weeks
📌 Megan: Consistently booking 5+ sales calls a week
📌 Jesse: Grew from £6K → £10K/month in 4 weeks
📌 Emory: Closed £15,000 in his 1st month
📌 Sam: Books 3-5 meetings weekly with high-net-worth clients
📌 Deveshi: 5-6 calls booked weekly → 4 clients signed in 2 months
📌 Jordan: 5 calls per week consistently after 2 months
📌 Sonali: 8 weeks → 9 qualified leads & 2 new clients
📌 Alan: Signed 2 new clients, £5k monthly revenue in 21 days

To name a few.
