Is LinkedIn your #1 sales channel?

If not, why the heck not?

What's not working?

𝗗𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲?

"We have ZERO clue how LinkedIn works"
"We haven't made ANY sales with LinkedIn"
"We spend money on content and ads. YET..."

I feel you.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗳𝗶𝘅:

→ Content that gets seen by people who can actually buy
→ Profiles that attract, not repel
→ DMs that get replies (not ghosted)
→ Real conversations, not random connections
→ Tracking what matters—meetings, not likes

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘁:

→ Training — The Connection-to-Conversion Framework™. Real examples. Zero fluff. Tailored to your business and sales cycle.
→ Consulting — Strategy that fits how you actually sell. We rebuild your positioning, messaging, and approach so LinkedIn supports your pipeline instead of draining your time.
→ Done-For-You — A system that just runs and you just close the sales...
 
My team handles the content, tools, and workflows so your people can focus on the conversations that close.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲

Most people treat AI like a shortcut.

I use it as a massive advantage.

Not cookie-cutter prompts. No 1000 prompts to use. Not “write me a post” tricks.

I deliver personalised prompts only for your business and your use cases that make the right actions faster, sharper, and easier to repeat.

No manner how long, no matter how many, no matter how in-depth. 

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀

Because it’s built on 24 years in real sales—leading teams, chasing targets, sitting in the meetings where results actually matter.

Everything I train, consult on, or build comes from that world, not from a marketing playbook.

LinkedIn isn’t the answer.

Your people are.

I just give them the tools and confidence to use it properly.

You're not posting because you think someone else said it better.

Here's the truth that changes everything:

Your audience hasn't seen that other post.

They haven't read that article. They missed that conference talk. They don't follow that influencer.

Your version matters because it's YOUR version.

You'll explain it differently. Add your own examples. Connect it to your experience. Make it relevant to your specific audience.

The internet doesn't need another original idea.

It needs YOUR take on existing ideas.

Stop waiting for the perfect, unique insight. Start sharing valuable perspectives.

Your audience cares more about helpful than original.

P.S. What's one piece of advice you give clients that you haven't shared publicly?

Your clients want more than basic AI receptionists. 

Are you ready to deliver?

After years in the UCaaS space, I’ve watched the industry evolve. 

Resellers now run multiple solutions, cloud, on-prem, hybrid…which creates opportunity but also complexity.

Here’s the challenge: Most AI voice tools only work with one platform. They handle basic tasks like answering and transferring calls, but that’s where they stop.

🔹What happens when your client needs more?

I see this constantly. A reseller manages 2 NetSapiens for clients, Asterisk for another, 3CX for a third, maybe even Porta One for another.

Each client wants intelligent AI that integrates with their CRM, handles complex routing, and adapts to their workflow. But the AI tools available are siloed. You’re forced to choose between vendor lock-in or telling your clients “no.”

That’s exactly why we created UponAI.

🔹 One platform. Every system. Build and deploy AI voice agents across all your UCaaS providers from a single dashboard. NetSapiens, Meta, Asterisk, 3CX, Porta One and many more…all managed in one place, on one dashboard.

UponAI integrates directly with your clients’ business tools: Salesforce, HubSpot, Zendesk, and hundreds of others including POS systems, and medical practice management systems. Advanced call routing, sentiment tracking, real-time analytics, and full conversation history come standard.

If you’re managing multiple UCaaS platforms why learn multiple AI Voice platforms?  UponAi also gives you the freedom to pivot as your business grows, you need an AI partner that moves  with you. Flexibility isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential.

How are you handling advanced AI requests from your clients?  Maybe your clients have not asked for more advanced features and integrations….believe me, they will.

I’d love to share what’s working for UCaaS resellers right now. 

Book some time with Jody or myself, you will be impressed with how we can help you help your clients.  The last thing you want is your client shopping elsewhere for AI Voice.

AI is not easy. 

I have spent years in telecom, cloud voice, and now AI voice agents. 

People still walk into meetings and say “We want something plug-and-play.” 

I smile. Then I tell them the truth. AI that matters is hard. Not because of fancy models. Because real businesses are messy. 

🔹Every company I work with has its own mix of: 

→ Legacy phone systems and new UCaaS platforms 

→ Custom CRMs full of history and quirks 

→ Call flows built over years of trial and error If AI ignores that? 

It fails. 

When AI touches voice, the complexity doubles. 

🔹A real AI voice agent has to: 

→ Hear callers in real time on a live phone line 

→ Understand intent, noise, accents, emotions 

→ Talk back with the right tone and timing 

→ Tie into queues, skills, and routing rules 

Then it still has to respect the basics: 

Your phone numbers stay yours. Your brand still sounds like you. Your agents still get the right calls. 

We built UponAI Dashboard inside that reality. We design for complexity, not around it. 

🔹Under the hood we handle: 
→ SIP Trunks, Endpoints, and URIs 

→ Smart routing that knows queues and wait times 

→ Context handoff when a call needs a human 

🔹On the surface leaders see: 
→ One place to configure voice agents 

→ One place to connect to UCaaS or CCaaS 

→ One place to measure impact on calls and customers 

Done right, AI voice agents can offload 40–60% of routine work and make agents’ days calmer, not colder. 

AI is not easy. 

Good AI respects that. Bad AI pretends it is simple. 

Thoughts on where you see the real complexity in AI right now?

I cheer for the little guys in UCaaS.

The resellers who fight giants like RingCentral, 8x8, Nextiva and many other’s every day.

They sell with heart.

They know every customer by name.

They lose deals because the logo on the other side looks “safer.”

Unfair.

Big platforms sell “AI” as a feature on a slide.

One size fits all.
Same voice.
Same flows.
Same “Press 1, press 2” experience.
No customization.

Customer’s want MORE much more.

UponAI was born for the Davids.

People love the David’s of the world.

People will choose a David not a giant when given the choice.

White Glove AI Voice Agents that wrap around the reseller.
Around their niche.
Around each customer’s real workflows.

Calls stay on the same numbers.
UCaaS stack stays in place.
We slide in by SIP and light up:

🔹 Smart routing that knows who should take the call
🔹 Handoffs with full call context, no repeat stories
🔹 Deep ties to CRM, ticketing, POS, and knowledge bases
🔹 Thousands of integrations available

The reseller does not sell “a bot.”

They bring a custom voice front door:

24/7.
Multilingual.
Trained on the client’s own world.

Now the “small” UCaaS partner walks in with something the giants don’t match at this level:

A tailored AI experience that feels like a top human team on its best day, at scale.

That is the new slingshot. 

Your thoughts on boutique AI as the edge for UCaaS resellers in a giant’s market?

My thoughts?

My guess is when he pulls that handle it should shoot something out…💦

What do you do when something unexpected happens?

We recently built an AI Agent for a Law Firm because the receptionist and the backup receptionist both had medical issue that was going to keep them out of work for weeks.  In a panic, the Firm contacted RingCentral for an AI Receptionist…to the tune of $750 a month 👀

The UCaaS provider (not RingCentral) then contacted UponAI….

By the next business day we had built and deployed an Agent to handle the emergency and answer all calls and send them to the right location.

Do you have a plan?

If not, I can help.
