LinkedIn + Sales Navigator Trainer for Teams ⋒ Mod Girl® Founder ⋒ I blend 17 years of digital marketing + online selling to help brands grow via social selling ⋒ Midwest → West Coast ✈ Nomad

If you want to build a badass personal brand, learn the best ways to use LinkedIn to drive revenue, and want the easiest ways to stand out in a sea of sameness...

Hi, I'm Mandy and we should be friends. 

“I have a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career.”

And like Liam Neeson, you want me on your side. 

I help B2B founders and sales teams turn LinkedIn activity into real pipeline with a human-first system, custom AI tools, and a simple thirty minute a day rhythm. 

After founding my award-winning agency Mod Girl® Marketing in 2010 and spending the last 10 years specializing in LinkedIn, I've trained thousands of professionals and partnered with companies like T-Mobile, Continental, and Pavilion.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄: Standing out in B2B is harder than ever. Cold outreach doesn't work like it used to. The teams winning right now are leveraging LinkedIn and personal branding to build trust and pipeline - but most leaders don't have time to do it themselves.

That's why I founded Luminetics, a division of Mod Girl®. We help B2B companies and leaders master LinkedIn and Sales Navigator to build authentic brands that drive pipeline.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁:
 ✔ We've been in the LinkedIn trenches since 2015, before it was cool
 ✔ We've trained thousands through our 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿™ curriculum
 ✔ We built 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝘃𝗲, the world’s first custom ChatGPT-powered GTM and social selling system that gives you the foundation, structure, and AI to build your brand and drive real pipeline while keeping every interaction completely authentic.

Whether you need full go-to-market strategy and consulting, team training, a Sales Navigator workshop, or an AI system your people can use daily, we make LinkedIn systematic, scalable, and authentic.

My work has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc., and HuffPost. I'm a regular guest on the Sell Better Daily Show and frequently keynote on LinkedIn and AI-powered go-to-market strategies.

Anyone else snowed in today? 

Good morning from snowy Brooklyn. 

Let’s see if my flight gets canceled mañana. 




P.S. there’s wayyyy more snow already than this pic. This was from last week. 

Check out my snow pic in the comments.

Needless to say, I’m not leaving my Airbnb today.

I’ve been a little busy today in NYC…

with some of New York’s finest humans. 

Chelsea Olsen and Jan Deahl.  

Chelsea and I have something awesome to share with you sooooon. So for now you’re getting a picture that has nothing to do with what we did today. 🤩

Oh, and a pic of both of us taking client calls at a random, fabulous, hotel bar. 🍸

Speaking of awesome, yesterday’s masterclass with Lindsay Rios was fun.

Thanks to everyone who registered and a special thanks to those who showed up live to have fun with us and learn.

We got a ton of amazing feedback.

And we had lots of laughs considering it took 17 minutes for us to figure out how to add chat to a Zoom webinar. 

Lucky us, everyone waited until we figured it out. Because I mean, let’s get real… 

What fun is a webinar without chat?

Lindsay and I had a blast, per usual. 

And we are excited to welcome some new next wave members. 

Oh yeah, if you didn’t hear, we opened up enrollment again.

So if you want to work directly with Lindsay Rios and me, and you want access to all of our courses and custom AI tools that will help you grow on LinkedIn and grow your business, join us …

OK, I’m off to see the Stranger Things Broadway show. Sooo excited.  


P.S. good thing I love New York, because I might get snowed in and stuck here a bit longer, considering I’m supposed to leave Monday. ❄️

AI posts are getting sneakier.

A year ago, it was painfully obvious.

Now, it’s getting harder to tell.

Did they use AI to write this? Did they not?

Here’s the truth...

AI isn’t the problem.
Bad content is the problem.

When AI is used the right way, it helps you:

→ Save time
→ Stay consistent
→ Organize your ideas
→ Sound clearer and sharper
→ Get more of your thinking out into the world

But this isn’t about dumping random thoughts into ChatGPT and hoping it does the work for you.

This is where people mess it up.

AI only works when you have:

 → The right prompts
 → The right systems
 → A clear POV
 → And your actual words driving the output

That’s exactly why we built Lumi.

Not another content hack.
Not a generic AI tool.

Lumi is our AI-powered writing system, available inside Next Wave 🌊, 
designed to learn your voice, structure your ideas, 
and help you publish content that actually sounds like you.

Here’s what that looks like in practice...

One of our Next Wave members hit 34K impressions on her third post using Lumi. 🤩 

Before that, her posts averaged 200–1,000 impressions.

That same post also drove hundreds of views on her comments and 30 new followers.

No hacks.
No algorithm chasing.
Just the right system behind her ideas.

If you want content that converts without the daily friction of “what should I post,”

this is for you.

Go here to explore how it works:

P.S. This video is not AI, although this immersive museum here in NYC tripped me out a bit. Was awesome.

Also Stranger Things on Broadway was the coolest thing I've ever seen. 🤩

You don’t need more LinkedIn tips.

You need a recurring calendar block.

That’s the difference between people who say LinkedIn “works” and people who say it doesn’t.

Sales Navigator only becomes powerful when it’s part of your day, not something you open when pipeline feels weird.

Here’s what actually gets results ↓

→ Put it on your calendar
→ Same time. Every day.
→ Short, focused blocks
→ No scrolling. No multitasking.

15 minutes commenting.
15 minutes sending connection requests.
15 minutes following up in messages.

That’s it.

Sales Navigator surfaces the right people at the right time.

Job changes.
Hiring signals.
Company growth.

What they literally just posted.

When you save the right leads, it tells you when to reach out and why.

That’s why it’s not a list-building tool.

It’s a timing tool.

Right person.
Right moment.
Right message.

Clarity beats clever every single time.

Be honest...

Is LinkedIn on your calendar, or just living rent-free in your head?


Also... 

You really do need LinkedIn tips, so keep following me for more :) 

But also, go add it to your calendar.

See you soooon.

I built something that just helped someone hit 34,000 impressions.

On one LinkedIn post.

Not because she suddenly got better at LinkedIn.
Not because she found a hack.
Not because she chased a trend.

Patricia already had the expertise.

What she didn’t have was a fast, clear way to turn what was in her head into a post she actually wanted to publish.

That’s why I built Lumi.

My clients weren’t confused.
They were overwhelmed.

Blank screen.
Overthinking.
Drafts that never got posted.

So I built a tool to remove friction.

Not to write for people.
Not to auto-post.
Not to generate AI slop.

To help them think clearly.
Refine what they believe.
And say it in their voice.

After I built it, I put it inside The Next Wave. 🌊 

Patricia used Lumi for the third time.

That post crossed 34,000 impressions. 🤩 

Her posts before averaged 100-200 impressions.

And now I keep hearing the same thing from Wavemakers:

“I planned weeks of content in under an hour.”
“My first post outperformed all of last week.”
“I finally stopped overthinking and just posted.”

Lumi simply removed the friction between her brain and the post button.

It didn't replace her.

That’s what we built inside The Next Wave.

AI-assisted.
Not AI-generated.

Human clarity at scale.

And there isn’t enough room in one post to list everything else you get when you join us.

🌊 Access to Lindsay Rios, Allison Fisher, and me.
🌊 Monthly workshops where we actually build things together.
🌊 6+ other custom AI tools and systems.
🌊 Courses. Playbooks. Real support.
🌊 An amazing Slack community of go-getters like Patricia. 

It’s not just Lumi.

It’s the whole environment around it.

Grow your business alone and keep guessing how to use AI without losing your voice.

Or join peers who are using AI intentionally and growing faster because of it.

If you want instant access to Lumi and want to map out all of your February LinkedIn content in under an hour, join us inside The Next Wave.

This is what working smarter actually looks like.
