Lead generation is broken.

Too many companies:

- Try to generate leads themselves, but fail
- Hire a lead gen agency with bloated retainers who can’t deliver

Lead generation as a whole is always changing, so unless you’ve got a dedicated team
on it (that knows what they’re doing) — you can expect to overpay for underwhelming
results.

That said, in 2025 — you don’t need to try to generate leads yourself, or pay an
outsized retainers for subpar work.

With Leadbird, you:

- Don’t pay for overpriced retainers
- Only pay per meeting-ready-lead we deliver
- Get the expertise of career outbound salespeople

We achieve this for you through:

- Targeted lead list building
- Domain + inbox set-up and warm-up
- Proven cold email copywriting principles
- Done-for-you cold email campaign management

I recently visited a company’s site and got hit with a live cold call from one of their reps a few minutes later. I absolutely loved it.

Every bit of data we have shows that the faster you call your leads after they show any type of intent, the more likely they are to book into an appointment. 

So much so that we call leads that respond to our cold emails as fast as humanly possible to try to capitalize on this. 

But, frankly, I had never seen it done off of a website visitor play. In retrospect, it's quite obvious, though. 

1. Identify website visitor
2. Enrich and get email + phone
3. Assign to rep
4. Have rep call

There's clear alpha in this right now, and I'd love to see more companies take it on. 

The future of GTM belongs to those who pick up the phone fastest.

For the longest time while cold emailing local businesses, I removed “info”, “support”, and “help” @ [company name] emails. Wow, what a mistake that was.

I thought that those were generic emails and nobody checks them. So, I’d of course favor actual people’s (generally the owner) emails. Except over time, I realized how small this made our list.

It became clear that not all SMB business owners actually set up personal email accounts, and sometimes do operate out of the generic names (some friends in the space made this clear to me!).

And, it just…worked (see below for confirmation).

This changes a lot for us. It’s almost like we unlocked new TAM by confidently reaching out to addresses we never would have before, being that we now know they actually may be fruitful.

All that to say: if you’re cold emailing local businesses, don’t shy away from the generic addresses. They might just be exactly what will work.

I send 2M+ cold emails and 1M+ LinkedIn DMs per month for 1,000+ active clients across Leadbird and Cleverly

Mark Cuban says the best business opportunity right now is selling AI implementation to businesses. Here’s how I’d do it with cold email:

People that do it wrong will mass-send generic copy about “implementing AI” to a massive list. It will go nowhere, and they’ll claim this “doesn’t work”.

People that do it right will:

1. Find 1 problem that’s solvable with AI for 1 type of business (ex: a specific AI workflow for HVAC businesses' back office).

2. Solve it in a way you can productize/replicate (using AI).

3. Scrape a list of ONLY those types of businesses (smaller, but more targeted).

4. Email a subset of the list offering to do execute this for free in exchange for case studies/testimonals.

5. Run the playbook 3 times for free to land case studies (video customer interviews + written case studies on-site).

6. Email the rest of the list saying:

"{{name}} - want {{problem solved}}?

Asking because we did it for other {{company types}} like {{company 1}}, {{company 1}}, and {{company 3}}.

Worth a chat?"

This has really always been the playbook for getting services businesses off the ground. AI has just increased demand for certain services, and made it faster to deliver for the vendors.

If I were fresh out of college trying to start something, this would likely be it.

BREAKING: New study shows 100% of people who comment negatively about cold email tactics have never had to generate their own pipeline to put food on the table.

It feels like every week, we see people in outbound preach about a new data vendor, infrastructure provider, or even sending platform. 

Even within tools themselves, I feel like I can't scroll the timeline without seeing Smartlead, Clay, or others announce a big new feature.

It's both awesome and exhausting, sometimes.

At the same time, it's indicative of how much this space moves and how fast it does. Every outbound marketer needs to be on their toes constantly to ensure they're not missing something. 

And though I don't want to come across like I'm fear-mongering, it's true. I've seen this in the last year with competitively generated agency owners, unfortunately fizzling out because they were stuck in their ways and didn't adapt. 

You absolutely need to keep your finger on the pulse of all tools and strategies in this space or you will fall behind. 

I like to frame it mentally as being a student of the game. It is ever-evolving, meaning it is quite literally impossible to master it. 

That’s my Tuesday reminder.

I've sent over 3,000,000 cold emails since January 1st. Here are my 25 rules for deliverability every outbound marketer needs to know in 2026:

Infra:

1. Always use Google or Microsoft accounts, never SMTP. SMTP providers consistently fail after a few months when spam filters update.

2. Domain endings don't matter much. Use .com when possible, but .org, .info, .co, and .biz work fine because they're cheaper.

3. Warm up domains for minimum 2 weeks, ideally a month for better performance and longevity.

4. Use an A/B rotation strategy. Buy two sets of infrastructure per client - use set A in month one, set B in month two, then rotate.

5. Keep emergency non-branded domains ready as backups when main infrastructure goes down.

6. Use proper naming conventions: Client_Campaign_Industry_LaunchDate_Group to identify performance issues.

7. All providers will eventually mess up DNS settings at scale. Always send yourself a test email and check headers before launching campaigns.

Campaign setup

8. Don't track opens. Open data is unreliable and hurts deliverability.

9. Plain text only. No fancy formatting.

10. Send Monday-Friday, 9-5, but randomize the exact time daily within a 30-minute window using Smartlead's API. Saturdays work well for SMBs and mid-market targets.Keep campaigns running on holidays because business owners check email every day.

Lead list management

11. Format company names properly, but ideally don't use them at all. Campaigns perform worse when they include company name or title.

12. When using titles, normalize them with AI (e.g., "CEO" not "Chief Executive Officer").

13. Remove all email security from your list. Use Google's DNS endpoint to identify anyone with Proofpoint, Barracuda, Mimecast.If removing security emails makes your list too small, put them at the end instead.

14. Don't isolate ISPs. Mix Google, Outlook, and SMTP recipients or your domain gets flagged.

15. Always validate with any tool right before launch, regardless of what data providers claim.

16. Separate catch-all campaigns from regular campaigns because catch-alls have higher bounce rates.

Copywriting

17. Spintax everything, but review all variants yourself. AI creates variants that sound unnatural.

18. Keep it simple. No images, PDFs, or links in the first email.

19. Two tests for copy: Can a 10-year-old understand what you're selling? Would you actually say this to someone in person?

20. Make copy conversational, not complicated with technical terms and corporate language.

21. Strong offers > personalization. Focus on making the offer better instead of building complex personalization workflows.

Continued in the comments.

Name drop campaigns make 100% automated emails look like warm referrals. But most people execute them wrong and kill credibility. Here's how to do it right:

The concept: You reference a colleague at the prospect's company in your cold email. This makes it look like you sat there, did your research, and wrote the email normally. When done right, these convert 2-3x better than standard cold outreach because you've lowered their automated email guard.

The mechanics:

- Pull colleague names by identifying their senior leadership (Find People → Department → Seniority) within the company.

- Reference the colleague in your first line ("not sure if you're the right person or if I should be speaking with [[ColleagueName]]")

- Optional: Add a PS that ties back to the colleague reference

- End with a soft CTA

The entire email should almost read like someone at their company gave you a warm intro.

Common execution mistakes:

- Generic opening lines that don't reference the colleague
- Formatting that exposes it as automated (inconsistent spacing, broken variables, obvious merge fields)
- Not cleaning your data before sending (colleague left the company, wrong person entirely)

The prospect should almost think a coworker mentioned them. When they open the email and see their colleague's name, their guard drops. That's when your message actually gets read instead of deleted.

We’re seeing incredible results with this right now…let me know if you want to hear more on it.

Cold email sending schedules should not be the hot topic that they are. Really, the rules for sending are simple (backed by 25M+ cold emails):

1. Send Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. We use Smartlead’s API to randomize start and end time daily (+/- 30 mins of start and end time to increase variability).

2. Saturdays can, in fact, be a good day to hit SMBs or mid-market companies. 

3. Same goes for holidays.

It’s that simple. Stop reading in to data about which days and times perform better. You’ll drive yourself crazy.

There’s a massive business opportunity for someone that wants to use this cold email right now. Let’s walk through why:

I don't need to educate you on the AI opportunity right now for businesses that aren't using it at all. Businesses, especially local ones that operate way outside of our bubble, have arguably more upside than anyone in terms of properly using AI to boost efficiency.

There are huge consulting shops being spun up right now that solely implement this for customers.

And I think there's a huge play to do so locally with this cold email alone. Why?

1. The subject line is relevant enough to a business owner in a given suburb / area.

2. We layer on the local social proof in the first line with an outcome promise as well. 

3. We really play up the local angle by effectively saying “we are going to be in the area upcoming, so let us know if you are interested”. 

4. We of course end with a soft CTA. 

Cold email doesn't need to be that difficult. You just need to have a strong and unique offer presented well. This is a great example of that.

People are taking spintax too far and it's ruining their cold emails. They're trying to spin individual words to increase variance, but this often leads to certain sentences just not making sense or sounding weird when read out loud.

This is not the way. You clearly show your prospect that a human did not write the email.

The right way to run spintax:

1. Identify the right variables to do it with in the first place.

Certain ones are over the top and risk-prone for messing up the email. Especially with certain Clay workflows, people are going overboard.

Easy, less risk-prone ones:

- Case studies (switch out company name and result)
- CTA sentence (spin 4-5 different ways of saying "Can I send you more info?")

2. Instead of spinning specific words, do it with specific phrases all together that still mean the same thing.

This reduces the chance of the email sending platform creating a sentence that just looks weird or doesn't make sense.

This is “boring” stuff but it's important.

My agency has worked with 500+ clients. In the last 5 years, I've learned a TON about how to deal with unhappy customers. My top 3 learnings about doing it:

1. Product <> Fulfillment <> Sales must all be aligned.

All messaging has to be completely aligned at all times and updated frequently across the board if needed.

Customers can and will get confused by what you are saying, pitching, or delivering.

Example:

Our product team built a new way to launch campaigns, and our fulfillment team started leveraging it. But, our sales team is still pitching the prior way (the outcome was the same, but the workflow is different).

This ultimately led to confused customers and was an issue we had to mitigate.

Don't let that happen!

2. Your contract is, literally, the law.

This goes for any B2B company. Everything you put in there on how your service gets delivered is very important. So is the reverse (everything you don't do.)

This will help prevent scope creep and give you clear boundaries on what you do and do not do for clients.

3. Calling mechanisms are crucial.

Similarly, this goes for both lead generation agencies and other B2B companies. Do not let anyone on your team get comfortable with doing the back-and-forth email battle.

The much more efficient, personable, and higher-leverage play is simply calling the client and figuring out the problem.

Broadly, most people are reasonable and somewhat logical, so explaining your stance (as long as it's justified) should work just fine.

Ensure you have a cell phone data/calling mechanism for all clients.

I know this wasn't anything flashy, but I promise you this is what is important at scale.

Almost every day, I get a cold email referencing my engagement on a social post I didn't think twice about. Cold emailers are using this signal the wrong way, and it's ruining their reply rate. Here's how to fix it:

People engaging with content in your space are actively researching the problem you solve right now. These lists convert at 3-4x higher rates than standard cold outreach because of recency and intent.

The wrong way:

"Saw you engaging with [Creator's] content about cold email..."

This feels like surveillance, not relevance. 

The right way:

"Noticed you've been engaging with content about outbound lately..."

Reference the intent and topic, not the creator. The intent matters, but usually the specific creator doesn't.

How to run this properly:

1. Identify 5-10 creators with your ICP audience (look for competitive overlap and high engagement).

2. Build a DNC list before scraping (generate competitor domains and exclude them so you don't email creators directly)

3. Scrape engagement weekly with Apify (pull last 7 days of engagers to keep lists fresh)

4. Deduplicate against a master database (dedupe by LinkedIn URL first, then at ingestion and pre-campaign)

5. Enrich and route channels (email first, if open profile → send InMail, then connection requests)

6. Use intent-based copy, not creator name drops

Common mistakes that kill these campaigns:

- Scraping once instead of weekly (make the campaign evergreen)
- Not excluding competitor domains (you email the creator and other competitors)
- Name dropping creators in copy (feels invasive)
- Not deduplicating (hitting same people repeatedly)

Quantity of prospects usually isn’t high (especially after filtering down), but the quality is solid if hit right. Strongly recommend!

The problem with cold email is that once people figure out what’s working, they overuse it and run it in to the ground…until it no longer works. Let’s fix that.

The perfect example of this is the time-tested campaign copy:

“If we could help generate 1[result] with our [unique mechanism], would you be interested in speaking?”

It worked for a while because it wasn’t intrusive, was relatively low-risk, and promised an outcome (those principles remain, by the way). But, it got overplayed.

The fix to this is not simply different copy, but offering something different altogether.

By this, I mean:

1. Identifying a small set of deliverables everyone in your ICP ideally needs, or could benefit from.

2. Anchoring your cold email around offering that for free.

3. Doing a great job at it, and then opening up the conversation to more services.

There’s a great example of this in the graphic below. Yes, you’ll do some free work. But you have the right to qualify leads up front and only do it if it makes sense.

Like it or not, this will help a lot of outbound teams “win” cold email coming up.

Last week, I posted about being cold called by a rep after I visited their site. I said I loved it, and people were…not happy, to say the least.

I saw tons of comments saying that this was “creepy” and bordering on an “invasion of privacy”.

I’m not here to debate the efficacy of the play. If your company books demos from it, do it. If you don’t, then don’t.

But this privacy point is hilarious to me.

People wrote comments about a company using their online behavior to give them targeted messages at a specific time.

…and then opened Instagram and saw 3 retargeting ads from sites they visited in the last week, and didn’t bat an eye.

My point is that companies do this all day long. We wouldn’t have some of the social media products we do if advertisers couldn’t pay for this ability.

It’s not novel. It’s just being adopted in B2B.

Pro tip for cold emailers sending serious volume: high volume outbound equals natural increase in inbound bookings. And that creates a problem.

Some people don't respond to your email to book a call, but rather just look up your domain and potentially book from there. 

This means it doesn't get tracked as a lead from cold email typically would in your backend. 

And as a result, it may not lead to the inbound lead being added to your DNC list, meaning they might be contacted again even though they’ve already booked.

This post is your reminder to make sure your CRM automatically pushes all new bookings into your Sequencers DNC list so they stop getting follow-ups post-booking.

Adding prospects to a Google Doc or sending random calendar invites to stand out in the inbox isn’t new.

Docs, Loom, Canva - people have used these for years because their domain reputation helps deliverability. And yes, you’ll likely land in primary.

But at scale, it’s not the unlock people think it is for two reasons:

1. Enterprises run heavy phishing training. If they don’t recognize the sender, they’re told not to click. That kills the play fast.

2. It carries the same negative sentiment as cold email. Some people will think it’s clever. Others will hate it.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

I used Notion Agents to build a lead gen competitor intelligence agent in maybe 60 minutes. How it works:

1. Discolike grabs the largest B2B lead gen agencies (our competitors).

2. An agent runs via Firecrawl MCP that finds updates on them (new case study, site update, etc.)

3. Sends me a monthly update of all new competitor activity.

No, this isn’t going to change my life and suddenly add $100K of revenue to my agency. But, it’s a dead-simple way to keep me in the loop on our competitors without doing a bunch of research or paying a VA to do it.

Not to mention, there are obvious applications to use this data in a lead gen setting. Ex: Monitor prospects’ competitors’ activity > reference their activity in an email to a prospect.

I don’t think Notion Agents is getting enough love right now, so I thought I’d share.

"We don't chase customers if they don't get back to us after the first reply, mark them as closed lost." That’s a real quote I heard from someone trying to get leads from outbound.

Short take: Some people just don't want it.

Long take: Outbound marketers everywhere are complaining that reply rates are down, deliverability is getting harder, and meetings are scarce, to say the least.

Prospects are fatigued from being hit with the same cold email template variants and are only replying to the emails that are strong, relevant, and have good offers.

So to effectively “waste” a good lead because you had to follow-up with them more than once is simply irresponsible.

In fact, I think the winning outbound teams of the next few years will:

1. Get back to positive replies borderline instantly.
2. Be extremely regimented about maintaining their CRM.
3. Prioritize strong, tasteful, relevant follow-ups until Closed Won or Closed Lost.

People who are disciplined about chasing positive replies will run circles around those that don’t follow up more than once because they “don’t chase leads”.

I can’t believe this is even a take.

The easiest and fastest way to write more relevant, personalized email copy with 0 extra work is to let your list write the copy for you. Let me explain:

I recorded a podcast episode with 🦾Eric Nowoslawski a while back, where he explained this perfectly. He explains that marketers often go too broad with their targeting, making relevance much harder to achieve.

He goes on to share that you can simply tighten up your list with certain filters that make it easier to write copy that’s relevant to everyone on that list.

Perfect example: Let’s say you’re a bookkeeping service.

You can reach out to CEOs of companies in the USA with <20 people, and say something like:

“We help small businesses in the USA close their books within 5 days at the end of each month.”

…OR you can reach out to:

- CEOs of companies in the USA with <20 people
- Who founded their company less than 2 years ago
- Are a first-time founder
- Don’t have a finance and accounting person on their team

And say something like:

“I saw that you guys were recently founded, and congrats, it's your first time running a business like this. 

How are you thinking about your finance operation? Asking because we help…”

Do you see how simply filtering down the list makes it easier to write more relevant copy with no extra work? You of course give up some volume in doing so, but the tradeoff is often there.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that every single company should make a practice of doing this. It's a low-effort, high-reward way to get meetings on the board from outbound.

I'm talking about simply reactivating old leads that never closed or fizzled out from a time in the past. These are people that showed a level of interest in what you were offering, and they were more familiar with you than a true cold lead. 

Not to mention, especially if you're kicking off an outbound motion, these emails are more prone to replies. This will build trust signals early with Google and Microsoft, and overall improve deliverability. 

This is important enough that at onboarding, we ask clients for lists of older leads they want to reactivate. By reaching out to them, we're usually able to get 1-3 wins on the board in the first 7 days of a campaign going live. 

The messaging is fairly simple as well:

"Hey {{name}}, we spoke in the past about {{what you do}}.

Wanted to touch base again because we {{did something new / have new method, etc.}}.

Would it make sense for us to chat later this week?"

If you need any help with this, comment and I can answer as best as possible. I strongly recommend you get it up and running if you haven't already.

Fractional LinkedIn GTM team for B2B SaaS and consulting

I’m Jordan - husband, 5x dog dad, and the behind the scenes GTM guy for founders and execs.

Some cool things I've done with awesome people:

🥇 Scaled an org to 200 plus employees  
🥇 Built and scaled brands to 7 and 8 figures  
🥇 Helped drive an 8 figure franchise exit  
🥇 Led growth for 40 plus award winning brands  
🥇 Helped clients add 2M plus followers and raise capital  
🥇 Managed and monetized 6, 7 and 8 figure audiences  
🥇 Helped a local business win 85 plus awards, most in their state  

The pattern I see over and over:

They're often very good at what they do.. The product or service is strong.

But:
- Positioning is fuzzy  
- LinkedIn presence doesn’t match their real value  
- AEs, founders and execs are basically invisible in the places buyers actually make up their mind  
- There's no simple, repeatable LinkedIn GTM funnel that reliably creates qualified conversations

That’s what we fix.

We work best with B2B SaaS and consulting companies in the roughly 1 to 10M range where:
- Deals are mid to high ACV  
- There is a sales team or founder led sales  
- LinkedIn should be a core GTM channel but right now it's a posting treadmill or nonexistent

What we do:

1. Clarify positioning and offers  
Who you actually serve, what problem you own, and what you should stop doing so your message finally lands.

2. Architect your LinkedIn GTM engine  
Profiles, narrative and a simple LinkedIn funnel that connects founders, execs and reps to the right accounts and buyers.

3. Run it with a fractional team  
My trained team becomes your LinkedIn GTM team - content, account management, distribution, and inbox systems that turn attention into pipeline without turning anyone into a full-time creator at a fraction of traditional workforce labor.

Clients have said things like:

“In a few months we added 40,000 followers, millions of impressions, and we’re already halfway through our $500K pre‑seed raise.” - Oli, Prescribe Health

“Thanks to the offer stack we built, I’m closing $20K deals and went from 0 to 8K followers in just a few months.” - XK, Master Coach

I'm not interested in vanity metrics. The work is about aligning who you are, what you say and how you show up, so LinkedIn becomes a predictable pipeline input, not a random bonus.

If you're a B2B SaaS or consulting founder and you know your LinkedIn positioning, presence or pipeline is underperforming, the next step is simple:

Is your imagination broken?

He turned a standard house into something completely different.

Hidden doors. Secret rooms. Reality bent to match his vision.

That's what happens when your state unlocks your imagination.

Most people can't imagine this because they're stuck in "what should be."

He imagined it because he was free enough to ask "what could be."

↓

Everyone says "be present."

But nobody talks about what it actually costs.

↓

Here's the trade-off:

Presence requires giving up the story you tell yourself about what should happen.

And most people aren't willing to pay that price.

↓

I've shed my ego countless times.

When I say ego, I'm talking about my mind-made identity. 

All the labels and expectations projected over me by others, my environment, and my past. All the incessant wants, desires, and goals that I'd been conditioned to believe were who I am.

The first time felt like I didn't know who I was anymore.

No identity. No labels. No expectations.

I disengaged from gossip, judgment, the need to prove anything.

It was lonely.

But I stayed comfortable through the discomfort.

Eventually it became liberating.

↓

Then life happened.

I slipped back into old patterns without realizing it.

So I had to shed the ego again.

↓

But the second time was different.

This time, I had gratitude as my foundation.

Deep appreciation for what brought me pain because it brought me back to my unlimited essence.

Instead of loneliness, I found peace.

Without the identity, without the story, without the need to be anyone..

I just was.

Whole. Appreciative. Smiling. Me.

↓

That's the cost:

You have to let go of who you think you are.

You have to release the story about how things should unfold.

You have to stop performing and just be.

↓

Here's what most people don't realize:

Your state is your frequency.

Your frequency determines what you see as possible.

When you're contracted in ego, in survival mode, in the need to control..

You think smaller than you're capable of.

Your imagination is limited by your state.

↓

But when you're in appreciation, in contentment, in love..

Your imagination unlocks everything.

You stop creating from fear.

You start creating from possibility.

↓

Your state doesn't just affect how you feel.
It affects what's available to you.

What opportunities you see.
What decisions you make.
What you attract.

↓

So yes, be present.

And know what you're signing up for:

You're trading the comfort of your story for the comfort of world changing truth.

You're trading the identity you've built for the wholeness you've always been.

You're trading control for trust.

↓

Most people won't make that trade.

But the ones who do become magnetic.

Because they're finally present enough to just be.

That's when dreams come true and miracles happen.

💬 What story are you holding onto that's keeping you from being fully present?

Jordan Murphy

That's how the best teams win.

↓

Watch how they move the table.

No fancy equipment. No perfect plan. Just a team that figured it out in real time.

Each person plays their part. Lays down. Takes the weight. Gets back up. Runs to the front. Does it again.

Nobody's sitting out. Nobody's waiting for instructions. Everyone's moving.

↓

That's how the best work gets done.

Not with perfect resources.

Not with endless planning.

With a team that innovates with what they've got and keeps the momentum going.

↓

Most teams wait for the perfect conditions.

The right budget. The right tools. The right timing.

But the teams that actually win?

They lay down. Take the weight. Get back up. Keep moving.

↓

Here's what makes this work:

→ Everyone knows their role

→ Nobody's too important to do the work

→ The momentum matters more than individual comfort

→ Trust that the next person will be there

→ Speed comes from repetition, not perfection

↓

That's not just teamwork.

That's how you build something real.

↓

The best businesses aren't built by people waiting for perfect conditions.

They're built by teams that figure it out, take the weight, and keep the momentum going.

↓

You don't need the fanciest tools.

You don't need the biggest budget.

You need people who show up, do their part, and trust the process.

↓

That's how great work gets done.

Fractional LinkedIn GTM team for B2B SaaS & Consultants 🥇

Timing is everything. So is knowing when to launch.

Watch how he sets it up, controls it, then launches at the perfect moment.

That's how visibility works.

↓

Most founders treat LinkedIn like they're juggling live fireworks.

Posting randomly.

Hoping something explodes.

No control. No timing. No strategy.

↓

But the leaders who actually win?

They set the fuse early.
They control the narrative.
They build trust over time.

And when the moment is right.. they launch.

↓

Typical mistakes:

They think visibility is about posting more.

It's not.

It's about being present consistently so when your ideal client's timing hits, you're the one they call.

↓

You can't control when they're ready to buy.

But you can control whether you're holding their attention when that moment comes.

↓

Right now, your ideal clients are watching someone.

Reading their content.
Seeing their values.
Building trust.

Deciding who they'll reach out to when they're ready.

↓

The question is: Is that person you?

↓

We build LinkedIn visibility systems that keep you top-of-mind:

→ Positioning that makes you memorable
→ Content that builds trust over time
→ Consistent presence without the grind
→ Systems that launch at the right moment

↓

You set the strategy. We handle the execution.

And when your ideal client's timing hits? You're the obvious choice.

↓

I have 3 spots opening in the next 2 weeks.

If you're ready to stop juggling and start launching, book a strategy call.

Link in my featured section or DM me "LAUNCH" and let’s chat on your goals.

↓

You can't control their timing. But you can control whether they're thinking about you when it comes.

That means invisibility is a revenue problem.

Let’s fix it together.

💬 Are you juggling or launching?

I used to think I had to be involved in everything.

Turns out, I was the bottleneck.

↓

Watch how he masters each level, then finds the rhythm and lets the horse run.

That's the shift.

↓

Early in my career, I believed my hands-on involvement was what made things work.

I'd built the systems. I understood the nuances. I had the relationships.

My perspective felt imperative to every decision.

And for a while, it was.

↓

But as we scaled, something shifted.

The business needed different expertise than what got us here.

Growth required specialists who could go deeper than I ever could in areas outside my core.

↓

I had a choice:

Stay involved in everything and cap our growth at my capacity.

Or bring in experts and let them own their domains completely.

↓

I chose the second.

Not because I wasn't capable.

Because they were better.

↓

Here's what I learned:

My x-factor wasn't being good at everything.

It was knowing when to hand something to someone whose x-factor was that exact thing.

↓

When I brought in the right people and actually let them lead:

The work got sharper (because it was their zone of genius).

My time freed up to focus on what only I could do.

The team moved faster (because they weren't waiting on me).

We scaled past what I could have built alone.

↓

Looking back, the real skill wasn't execution.

It was knowing when my involvement shifted from essential to limiting.

↓

Your hands-on experience got you here.

But the next level requires you to step back and let experts own what they do best.

That's not stepping away from leadership.

That's what leadership looks like at scale.

💬 What's one area where bringing in an expert unlocked growth for you?

They launched him 3x farther than he could go alone.

Each person syncs up. They move as one. The energy compounds.

Then they send one person flying.

That's the power of leverage.

But it only works if they send you in the right direction.

↓

I see this mistake constantly with founders building visibility on LinkedIn.

They automate everything.

Scheduling tools. AI content. Auto-DMs. Engagement pods.

Momentum builds fast. Metrics climb.

But they're being launched in the wrong direction.

↓

The wrong automation:

→ Auto-posting generic content
→ Mass DM sequences without control
→ AI posts that sound like everyone else
→ Engagement pods for vanity not distribution

Your ideal clients scroll past. Your content blends in. Your outreach gets ignored.

↓

The right automation:

→ Systems that capture your actual voice
→ Outbound personalized based on real signals
→ Content positioned to build trust over time
→ Engagement with the right people

Now you're top-of-mind when their timing hits.

↓

I worked with a founder posting 5x per week using AI tools.

Decent engagement. Growing followers.

But zero pipeline. Zero deals.

Why?

The automation launched him in the wrong direction.

Generic content. No positioning. Just activity.

↓

We rebuilt his system:

→ Captured his actual thinking
→ Positioned content to build specific beliefs
→ Automated distribution, not thinking
→ Built outbound around real signals

Within 90 days: pipeline moving. Deals closing.

Same time invested. Different direction.

↓

Most people automate the thinking.

The strategy. The positioning. The voice.

↓

The right approach:

Automate the execution. Not the strategy.
Automate the distribution. Not the thinking.
Automate the reach. Not the relationship.

↓

That swing only works because everyone moves in sync toward a clear direction.

Your visibility system is the same.

↓

You need:

→ Clear direction
→ Synchronized effort
→ Compounding momentum
→ Strategic launch

Automation amplifies all of that.
But only if the direction is right first.

↓

Most founders automate before they have clarity.

They build momentum before they know where they're going.

Everyone wants to Claude it to death lol

↓

The founders who win?

Direction first. Then automation. Then momentum.

↓

Momentum is powerful.
Direction is everything.

Get both right, and you become unignorable.

💬 What's one thing you automated that launched you in the wrong direction?

Most people wouldn't commit like that.  There’s good and then there’s scary good.
 Watch the commitment. The setup. The execution.

Most people would knock and run back to their room. He commits fully, waits in the shadows, and goes all in when the moment hits.

That's the difference between good and scary good. 😂

↓

I've worked with hundreds of founders over the years.

The good ones are competent. Reliable. They deliver what they promise.

But the scary good ones? They operate differently.

↓

Here's what I've noticed about people who reach "scary good" level:

1. They commit when others hesitate

Good founders test the waters. Scary good founders dive in fully, knowing they'll figure it out on the way down.

They don't half-commit to a strategy and wonder why it didn't work. They go all in, give it everything, and extract every lesson.

2. They're willing to be uncomfortable longer

Good founders optimize for comfort. Scary good founders optimize for growth, even when it's awkward, uncertain, or feels like too much.

That video? Most people wouldn't stand in a dark hallway waiting. Too uncomfortable. Too exposed.. that's where the magic happens.

3. They understand timing isn't just about speed

Scary good people know when to wait and when to move. They don't rush the setup. They don't miss the moment.

They build in the shadows, position strategically, then execute with precision when timing hits.

4. They study what works, then make it their own

Research shows that top performers in any field spend significantly more time studying patterns than average performers. They practice and they study what makes great work great.

Then they add their own twist. Their own intensity. Their own commitment level that makes people say "how did they do that?"

5. They're not afraid to be memorable

Good is forgettable. Scary good sticks with you.

The founders who break through aren't the ones playing it safe. They're the ones who show up with an intensity that makes you remember them long after the interaction ends.

↓

And the thing about being scary good:

It's the willingness to commit fully when others are holding back.

To stay uncomfortable longer than feels reasonable.

To wait for the right moment instead of forcing it.

To study obsessively and execute with precision.

To be so memorable that people can't stop talking about you.

↓

Most people settle for good because scary good feels like too much.

Too intense. Too committed. Too visible.
 That's why it works.

↓

The founders I work with who become unignorable on LinkedIn?

They don't post casually and hope for results.

They commit fully. They show up consistently. They position strategically. They execute with precision.

And they become scary good at holding attention in their ideal client's mind.

↓

Good gets you in the game.
Scary good makes you unforgettable.

💬 What's one area where you've gone from good to scary good?

I help founders who are successful but stuck, let me help you hit the nail on the head why..

I bet you've built something real.

Revenue is solid. Team is functional. From the outside, you've made it.

But you know something's off.  Things are changing.

↓

You notice nobody knows who you are.

Your ideal clients aren't seeing you.
The right partners aren't reaching out.
Top talent isn't knocking on your door.

↓

You're not failing.

You're just invisible to the people who matter most.

↓

Here's what I see:

Most founders at this stage have optimized everything internal.

Better product. Smarter operations. Tighter execution.

But visibility? Pipeline? Inbound demand?

Crickets.

↓

You're relying on:

→ Referrals that come when they come
→ Outreach that feels like pushing a boulder uphill
→ A LinkedIn presence that's... there, but not doing anything

Meanwhile, your competitors with worse offers are closing deals.

Why?

Because they're visible. And you're not.

↓

That gap between where you are and where you could be..

That's where I work.

↓

I don't help people who need the basics.

I help founders who've built something real and are ready to be seen for it.

Leaders who know the next level isn't about working harder.

It's about showing up where your buyers, partners, and top talent are already looking.

↓

Here's what we do:

We build complete LinkedIn visibility systems that run without you.

→ Positioning that makes you unignorable to your exact audience

→ Content that attracts buyers, partners, and A-players

→ Outbound engines that fill your pipeline predictably

→ Engagement systems that amplify your reach 10x

→ Market intelligence captured from every conversation

→ Referral programs that turn relationships into revenue

↓

You don't create the content.

You don't manage the outreach.

You don't chase engagement.

We run the entire engine for you.

↓

The result?

Your calendar fills with the right conversations.

Buyers reach out instead of you chasing them.

Partners want to collaborate.

Top talent applies when you’re hiring.

↓

All leverage. All impact. Zero time suck.

Because we know this game better than your internal team ever will.

↓

This work isn't for everyone.

It's for founders who:

✓ Have built something real but aren't getting the visibility it deserves

✓ Want pipeline and inbound without the grind

✓ Are ready to become unignorable to buyers, partners, and top talent

✓ Value leverage over doing it themselves

↓

If that's you, let's talk.

DM me "NEXT" and tell me what you're building toward.

No pitch. Just conversation.

Sometimes the right visibility system at the right time changes everything.

💬 What's costing you more: being invisible or trying to fix it yourself?

"The question I ask every new client"

Before we build your visibility system.
Before we create a single piece of content.
Before we touch LinkedIn.

I ask one question:

↓

"What do your ideal clients need to know and believe about you, your product, your service, your values, your viewpoints to decide they want to work with you - without you telling them they should?"

↓

The answer reveals everything.

↓

Because here's what most founders get wrong:

They think content is about them.

Their expertise. Their offers. Their credentials.

But your audience doesn't care about you.

They care about whether you understand them.

↓

This question forces a shift:

From "What do I want to say?"

To "What do they need to believe?"

↓

Here's what I'm listening for:

Not features. Not benefits.

The underlying beliefs that make someone say "this person gets it."

The values that create alignment before the sales call.

The viewpoints that make them think "finally, someone who sees what I see."

↓

Because here's the truth:

People don't buy because you're qualified.

They buy because they believe you understand their world better than anyone else.

↓

When you can answer this question clearly:

→ Your content writes itself (you know exactly what to say)

→ Your positioning sharpens (you know what makes you different)

→ Your pipeline fills with the right people (they self-select before they reach out)

→ Your sales conversations get easier (they're already sold on the belief system)

↓

Most founders are creating content in a vacuum.

Posting what they think sounds smart.

Hoping something sticks.

↓

But the ones who break through know exactly what their audience needs to believe.

And they engineer every piece of content to build that belief system.

↓

So before we make you visible.

Before we fill your calendar.

Before we build your LinkedIn engine.

I need to know:

What do your ideal clients need to know and believe about you to decide they want to work with you.. without you telling them they should?

↓

Answer that, and everything else is just execution.

💬 What's one belief your ideal clients need to have before they're ready to work with you?

A little over five years ago, we sold our house in Massachusetts and moved to Florida.

From the familiar to the unfamiliar. From home to a place that just felt right from the first visit.

These beach night skies still strike me with wonder every time.

↓

That change unlocked something I didn't expect.

Freedom to be me. Without the labels. Without the expectations. Without the constant reminders of who I used to be.

You don't realize how much your environment down-regulates you until you remove it.

It's why you feel so fired up on vacation. That spark to change, to be better, to finally do the thing. That's not the vacation talking. That's you without the weight.

↓

I joke with visitors all the time.

"Having fun?"

They smile. "Yes."

"What if you could stay on vacation? Trade a few hours a day to keep affording it, but when you're off, you're back in vacation mode. How does that sound?"

The aha moment hits every time.

↓

That's the vacation mindset. A lighter way to live.

Seeing beauty daily. Grounding with nature. Feeding squirrels at the beach. Living a lifestyle that actually fills your heart instead of drains it.

That's why we moved. For our slice of vacation land.

↓

But here's what I didn't see coming.

LinkedIn became the bridge that made this lifestyle sustainable.

The partnerships that fund it. The deals that sustain it. The friendships with talented, kind-hearted people who think like I do and live like I want to live.

Learning how to leverage LinkedIn to build real relationships didn't just grow my business. It gave me the freedom to live where I want, how I want.

↓

You don't have to move 1,200 miles.

But you can build the relationships that give you that same freedom.

LinkedIn makes it possible.

💬 Where's your favorite place to vacation? And what would it take to live there?

Stop posturing. Start solving problems. 


(in your content..)

The wrong content is almost as bad as no content.

You gotta give people what they need.

When I help clients make their LinkedIn about prospects' wins, not their own credentials, inbound opportunities follow.

A fractional CMO came to me with solid credentials.

His LinkedIn highlighted his resume. Past roles. Companies he'd worked with. What services he offered.

CEOs weren't biting.

Zero inbound calls.

He was connecting with his prospects every day, posting daily, no attention.

Until we took over and repositioned everything around CEO problems.

Revenue plateaus. Marketing that doesn't convert. Teams that execute tactics without strategy. The gap between growth goals and actual pipeline in his specific industry.

His content stopped being about him.

Every post addressed a specific CEO challenge. Every framework showed a path forward. Every piece of content reflected their reality back to them.

CEOs started commenting, then messaging, then booking calls. Same targeting..

Same expertise. Same offer. Different focus.

We do this with every client. Position them in their prospects' world showing their impact through the storytelling of the achievement of their clients.

When decision makers see their problems in your content, they lean in. When they see your clients winning with those same problems, trust builds. 

When you do this consistently, inbound stops being random.

Do this to a boringly consistent level. That's the pattern that fills pipelines.

💬 What’s your executive brand doing for your pipeline?

P.S. Feed the squirrels 🐿️😂

Your ideal clients already know who they want to work with.

They've been reading their content for months.

Watching how they think. What they value. How they show up.

By the time they're ready to buy, the decision is already made.

↓

The question isn't "How do I get them to find me?"

The question is "Am I holding attention in their mind when their timing hits?"

↓

Because here's what you can't control:

When the budget opens up.
When your ideal client needs you.
When they're finally ready to pull the trigger.

↓

But here's what you CAN control:

Whether you're the person they're thinking about when that moment comes.

↓

Right now, someone else is holding that attention.

They're showing up consistently.

Building trust through their content.

Demonstrating their values and how they think.

And when timing hits? They get the call.

↓

Not because their offer is better.

Because they were present when it mattered.

↓

If you're not showing up consistently in front of your ideal clients, you're not in consideration.

And if you're not in consideration, timing doesn't even matter.

They'll never think of you.

↓

We build LinkedIn visibility systems that keep you top-of-mind with your ideal buyers, partners, and talent:

→ Positioning that makes you memorable

→ Content that builds trust over time

→ Consistent presence that holds attention

→ Systems that run without you

↓

You don't create the content.
You don't manage the presence.
You don't chase the attention.

💬 Who's holding attention in your ideal client's mind right now.. you or your competitor?

Values are killing your sales.

Everyone preaches "lead with values." That's a lie.

Be your values.

Your customer cares if you fix their biggest pain, not your company credo.

You can seamlessly weave in your values while you demonstrate competency and proficiency.

I've watched founders spend months crafting mission statements while their pipeline stays empty. They think values differentiate them.. 

They don't move the needle as much as you’d think.

Here's what actually matters in positioning:

Can you solve the problem keeping them up at night?

Do you have proof you've done it before?

Can you explain it in terms they understand?

Your values might make you feel good. But they won't make your phone ring.

Especially if they don’t feel like you understand them.

The companies and consultants winning right now focus on one thing: demonstrating capability. They show results. They speak to specific pain points. They make the path from problem to solution crystal clear.

And I’m not saying values aren’t important and the pipeline you’re building is an important part of this strategy: buyers, partners and talent each need to see different things from you as a leader.

Values are especially important for your team culture and attracting top talent. 

Lead with outcomes for your customers.

Tell the stories of how you delivered outcomes that infuse your values, how you did it in the ways that matter to your buyers and you’re gaining ground.

But you’re actually only gaining ground if the right people see your content.

If you need more pipeline and visibility, we’ll help you make better content and get the right people to see it on LinkedIn consistently.

We’ll map the constraints and run the system if you qualify.

💬 What's one problem you solve that your ideal customer would pay to fix today?

P.S. What caffeine source is powering your Monday morning? haha

undefined undefined

Go from storyteller to growth architect.

I spent years thinking my story mattered.

The awards. The exits. The client wins.

Even the celebrity clients..

I'd lead with credentials, hoping people would care.

They didn't.

Because here's what I learned: your story doesn't grow your business.

Inviting customers into a story does.

Donald Miller nailed this. You're not the hero. Your customer is.

You're the guide who helps them win.

Most founders get this backwards. They position themselves as the main character.

But buyers don't want to hear about you. They want to see themselves winning.

When I shifted Brain Apes from "look what we built" to "here's how you become unignorable," everything changed.

The content resonated. The calls booked. The pipeline filled.

Because I stopped telling my story and started building theirs.

Here's the shift:

Stop leading with your credentials.
Start showing them their transformation.

Stop explaining your process.
Start painting their future state.

Stop talking about your wins.
Start mapping their path to victory.

The best positioning makes your customer the hero and you the trusted guide who knows the terrain.

That's not marketing. That's architecture.

You're not just creating content. You're designing a journey where they see themselves succeeding.

And when they can picture that win, they'll want you in their corner.

Nobody knows you exist.

Right now, your ideal clients are on LinkedIn.

Searching for solutions.

Reading posts.

Booking calls with people who solve their exact problem.

But they're not finding you.

↓

Not because you're not good enough.

Because you're invisible.

→ Partnerships you'll never know existed

💬 How many deals have you lost to competitors who are just more visible than you?

She was exactly where you might be right now.


$5M in revenue. Solid reputation in her industry. Proven track record.

But when I asked her who was thinking about her when opportunities came up, she went quiet.

"I don't know," she said. "Probably no one."

↓

Her ideal clients were on LinkedIn every day.

Reading posts. Building trust with people who showed up consistently.

Deciding, unconsciously, who they'd reach out to when their timing hit.

But she wasn't in that consideration set.

Because despite being great, she was invisible.

↓

Here's what we did:

Step 1: We captured her story

Not generic thought leadership. Her actual thinking, real experiences. The insights only she could share.

We interviewed her. Pulled out the frameworks she'd built over 15 years. The patterns she saw that others missed.

Step 2: We positioned every piece strategically

Each post wasn't just content. It was designed to build a specific belief in her ideal client's mind.

"She gets my world."

"She sees what I'm dealing with."

"She's the person I want to work with when I'm ready."

Step 3: We built the system to run without her

She didn't write posts, manage outreach or chase engagement.

We documented her expertise. We amplified her voice. We put her in front of her ideal clients consistently.

Step 4: We leveraged every conversation

Every call she took, we captured insights. Turned them into content. Used them to sharpen her positioning.

Her lived experience became the fuel for her visibility engine.

↓

Within 90 days:

Her content was reaching 50K+ people per month.

Her ideal clients were commenting, engaging, reaching out.

Her calendar filled with inbound conversations.

And when their timing hit, she was the person they called.

↓

She didn't change her offer.

She didn't work more hours.

She just became visible to the people who needed her most.

↓

Here's what she told me six months in:

"I didn't realize how much opportunity I was leaving on the table by being invisible. Now I'm the person my ideal clients think of first. That's changed everything."

If you're reading this and thinking, "That sounds like me"..

$3M+ revenue. Proven expertise. Solid business.

But invisible to the people who matter most.

You don't need to figure this out yourself, become a content creator or spend hours on LinkedIn every day.

You need someone to capture your story, position it strategically, and build a system that runs without you.

That's what we do.

We document your expertise.
We leverage your experience.
We make you visible to your ideal clients.

And we handle everything so you can focus on closing deals and leading your business.

💬 When your ideal clients think of your expertise, do they think of your name?

You know what needs to happen. So why isn't it happening?


Watch this.

26 eggs. All in the air at once. One wrong move and they all drop.

But he doesn't miss. He's done this enough times to know exactly when to move and exactly what to catch first.

That's not luck. That's reps.

You've got deals sitting in your pipeline right now.

Your tech stack is solid. Your ICP is dialed. Your messaging could work.

But here's the problem: no one's actually running the plays.

Your team is buried. Your marketing lead is juggling 47 things. LinkedIn sits there as the channel everyone agrees you should be using, but no one has bandwidth to actually execute.

So it becomes the thing you'll "get to next quarter."

Meanwhile, your competitors aren't waiting. They're in your prospect's feed. They're in the DMs. They're booking meetings while you're still trying to find time to post.

Here's what I know after building LinkedIn GTM systems for hundreds of B2B teams:

The strategy isn't the problem. Execution is.

You don't need another framework. You don't need another consultant to tell you what LinkedIn could do for you.

You need someone to actually run it. Every day. Integrated with your stack. Feeding your pipeline.

That's what we do.

We plug into your existing GTM motion as your fractional marketing team and run LinkedIn for you.

Not as a consultant who hands you a deck and disappears.

As the team that shows up every day, runs the plays, drives your visibility, and feeds your pipeline.

You keep doing what you do best - closing deals.

We make sure LinkedIn is feeding you the right ones.

On the audit call, we'll look at:

1. Where LinkedIn fits in your current GTM stack (and where it's leaking revenue right now)

2. The exact plays we'd run for your ICP (not theory - the actual sequences)

3. How our fractional team plugs in and executes without you adding headcount
Then if it makes sense, we run it for you.

If it doesn't, you walk away with a clear map of what to do.

If you've been sitting on LinkedIn as a "someday" channel..

If you know it should be working but no one on your team has the bandwidth to run it right..

If you're ready to turn it into a pipeline engine instead of a content experiment..

Book the audit call.

💬 Do you still think LinkedIn is optional in your industry?

You're doing it again, aren't you?


Twelve tabs open. Calendar stacked. Mind already three meetings ahead.

You've built something real. Maybe you've scaled a team, launched a product, closed deals that mattered. You know how to execute.

But here's what I want to know:

When's the last time you fed the squirrel?

↓

Not metaphorically. I mean literally - when did you last do something with zero ROI, no strategic value, just because it made you smile?

For me, it was yesterday. A squirrel. An orange slice. A picnic table by the beach.

That little guy wanted citrus. And I made that my place to be.

Best part of my week.

↓

Here's what I've noticed working with founders like you:

The ones who build something that lasts - not just profitable, but meaningful - they all share something.

It's not that they work harder.

It's that they remember how to be human.

↓

You already know how to optimize.

You've dialed in your calendar. Your funnel. Your positioning.

But what about joy?

What about presence?

What about those random Tuesday afternoons where you do something completely illogical - and it fills you up anyway?

↓

You used to measure your days by what you accomplished.

Deals closed. Content shipped. Revenue scaled.

But somewhere along the way, you started wondering if there's a different metric.

What if the degree of a good day is measured by the summation of time spent smiling?

Not producing. Not optimizing. Not even growing.

Just... smiling.

↓

Let me tell you what I've learned building GTM systems for founders:

1. Presence isn't passive. It's a choice to be fully where you are - not rehearsing tomorrow or replaying yesterday.

2. Intention isn't hustle. It's knowing why you're doing what you're doing - and letting go of everything else.

3. Wholeness isn't earned. It's remembered. You're already complete. You just forgot.

↓

So truth is:

Your business needs strategy. I help with that. Pipeline, positioning, LinkedIn GTM - I take that work seriously.

But your life needs moments that make no sense on a spreadsheet.

The walk with no destination.
The conversation with no agenda.
The squirrel with the orange slice.

↓

If you're reading this right now - phone buzzing, mind racing, already thinking about the next thing...

Stop.

Just for a second.

Take a breath.
Relax your body.
And ask yourself:

When's the last time I smiled for no reason?
Now smile and keep remembering to smile.

↓

That's the work beneath the work.

You're going to build the business. I know you will.

But don't forget to feed the squirrels. 🐿️🍊

Because the founders who win long-term?

They're the ones who remember that success without presence is just a fancy treadmill.
