I help consultants get clients on LinkedIn, using sales and content 🚀 Follow #RichTips for content

At some point it becomes obvious: your expertise isn’t the problem.
The real challenge is turning that expertise into consistent, high-value revenue.

Whether you lead a commercial team or run your own consultancy, gaining traction with potential clients on LinkedIn often feels harder than it should.

That’s where I come in.

I train leaders, consultants, and founders in the psychology of high-trust deal-making and sales. This helps individuals and teams move from interest to commitment without pressure or scripts.

My work blends behavioural psychology, strategic communication, and modern sales design.
More importantly, it comes from doing it:
22+ years of being a sales practitioner and $millions in converted deals.

Because theory is powerful
But you can't beat having done it too

Crucially, the help I give is for those who want to sell with nuance, credibility and long-term results.

Here’s what we focus on:
Strategic positioning: shaping how your expertise is perceived by buyers and decision-makers

Authority content: creating trust through clarity, not noise

Conversation design: turning dialogue into opportunity with structure and intent

Deal-flow mastery: applying timing, buyer psychology, and decision dynamics to close complex deals

I’ve worked with organisations from Microsoft and LinkedIn, to JP Morgan and Deloitte
Beyond this I've also coached thousands of consultants, coaches and founders

All of them have had the focus on refining how they sell and how they communicate

As a 2x LinkedIn Top Voice and LinkedIn Learning Instructor with five courses on sales and communication, studied by tens of thousands of professionals worldwide, I'm asked to work with professionals on their delivery, awareness of buyer state and the words that move a buyer to step forward. 

My communities, the LinkedIn Client Accelerator and Art of Sell, bring together over 500 members focused on mastering client acquisition and high-trust sales.

In the offline world I founded Entrepreneur Business Live, a global event series connecting business leaders to support local causes and I’ve delivered keynotes and lectures at Oxford University, Warwick Business School, University of Edinburgh, Nottingham, Pearson Business School and many more.

If you want to elevate how you or your team win clients, with more trust, depth, and commercial precision, this is where we start.

Founder - LinkedIn Client Accelerator

Imagine being such a badass that you:

- win Dragon's Den
- casually teach yourself Chinese
- are head of growth for a $200MM fund
- worked at Accenture then JP Morgan 
- and are a serial entrepreneur 

Such a person exists

And she's called Carina Cunha.

So I'm thrilled that she is tonight's Masterclass in Art of Sell

You see, it's easy to find a community with speakers that
- Present well
- Have lots of followers
- Can even show some results

But it's a completely different game when they operate at the highest level

Last week?
Our topic was copywriting
So the speaker had sold $1bn 
And worked at Ogilvy

Next week?
How to communicate for sales 
He's coached Oracle and T-Mobile
And over 65,000 have taken his courses

When I built this community I wanted one thing from the learning:
Excellence

Always ask this question:
"Am I listening because they're popular? 
Or am I listening because they're the best?"

What's your belief on this?

I train founders in the psychology of high-trust deal-making and sales | Creator, Art of Sell | 2× LinkedIn Top Voice

These 3 job stats are a worry: 72%, 51%, 44%
Because they show something serious going on:

The numbers are for 2023, 2024 and 2025 in terms of the % of candidates with multiple job offers in their most recent job search*

That's trending dramatically down.

What does this mean?

This:
If you are less likely to have options, then you need to change something. 

Especially as the employment market will only get more competitive.

So what to do?

Focus on you, more. Here's how:

Look, sending out a résumé and patiently waiting in line is asking for trouble.

Instead, proactivity is the solution.

So:
1. Share your opinions on LinkedIn
↳ You'll be asked them in an interview anyway. 
But now your answer reaches many.

2. Network up
↳ Connect with those that might hire/influence hiring decisions. 
But be human: conversation > a pitch for a job

3. Show up, just not in queues
↳ Waiting in line for an interview screams average. 
Instead, go to events to network. Even attend events here on LinkedIn. 

Having the inside edge like this is how you get noticed
And importantly, it starts useful conversations.
Those that hire love to see initiative. 

What else? 
Work on your communication:
- Persuasion, influence and articulation all matter. 
- Because when you work hard to get your foot in the door, you don't want to throw that opportunity because you didn't train how you'd show up.

How else can a job seeker be proactive?

--
PS These skills matter. 
Not just in getting a job but after, too. 
That's why my Art of Sell community isn't just for better pitches,
It's for better persuasion and mastery of communication.
Yesterday, we had Alicia Teltz show how to win with LinkedIn
Tomorrow, we have Ravi Rajani go deep on building trust
These are the skills for careers. Not just moments.

Bad advice can often sound good
So we think it's right. Here's an example:

Write content for 1 person
Talk about the 1 problem
Give them 1 solution

Part of this misses the mark.

And it's that middle line.

"Talk about the 1 problem"

You see, when you truly understand buyer behaviour, you realise something about "problems":
• You know what they are
• They usually don't

Typically, people don't fully know their problems
and they certainly haven't labelled them

For example:
- Business owners don't know their website's issue is its UX
- A patient with a cough won't know they have bronchitis
- CEOs don't think their problem is their personal brand

Problems require awareness

So you can see that speaking about problems often misses the mark.

You get it
Your peers get it
...and your engagement wrongly suggests your audience gets it

But the right people need it to relate more to what they're feeling now.

How do we fix this?

Instead of talking about the problem itself,
Speak to the symptoms of the problem:

Suddenly, the right people can relate to them
Because they're consciously living them
They're totally frustrated by them
They're fed up with them

It's a tiny nuance, but makes a massive difference

So,

Write content for 1 person
Focus on their symptoms 
Give them 1 next step

What are your customers' top symptoms?

Let's stop pretending the month is over.

It’s not.

And yet some are already winding down, half-writing off the last few days like they don’t count.

Let me remind you:
↳ Revenue doesn’t care what the calendar says
↳ Targets don’t adjust themselves because you “feel done”
↳ And prospects don’t progress themselves while you blow across your coffee and coast into December

We’ve got 4 working days. 

That’s not “wrap-up” time
It's close time

↳ The pros know it
↳ The high performers I know always have this attitude
↳ That top 1% are circling their opportunities

Meanwhile, others are forecasting
Because they're finished.

So ask yourself:
Are you done? 
Or are you hitting the end of the month?

Easing in vs finishing strong:
It's always interesting to see how people respond, this time of the year

You are an asset.

This mindset shift altered two things for me:
- The view of myself 
- My career in sales

Here's how you possibly see yourself right now:

You see yourself as a source of frustration to prospects
You feel their time is worth more than yours
You're concerned you're intruding

Instead, start viewing yourself as an asset and the solution to their problems.

If a potential prospect needs support, then you are providing it!

This is valuable and needed.

From that reframe, you're not an irritation nor imposing on them.

Only by recognizing how much you can contribute in solving problems will you start approaching your sales as the helpful advisor rather than a begging, needy salesperson.

So, show them you're the expert equipped to answer any question they might have. 

But the big thing is to also show up as someone proud to be able to assist them.

Your skills and expertise are what set you apart and make you an asset - so now it’s time to own it.

Be honest: how do you view it?

"This might not work"

Are you willing to say that?

According to Seth Godin, this is precisely what a leader should be willing to say to their team. 

Managers follow rules
They execute the plan
They deliver the thing 

But to volunteer. To say "I'll try this";
That is leadership.

So, 
↳ If you're doing the same as your peers
↳ If you're playing safe to only take part
↳ If you're letting others be the outliers

Then you're in the riskiest business of all.

Instead, we should be "dancing with the future".
Because it might just work.

To share a room with Seth and incredible leaders from 
- LuluLemon
- US Navy
- Schneider Electric
- Johnson Controls
- IKEA
and so many more, was a real gift this week.

Thank you to Brian Evergreen for hosting us in his The Future Solving Club. 
When you're invited to such spaces, grab them with open arms.

It's forums such as these that we can learn from the best, especially with a peer group of winners.

pov: you become the first millionaire in your family

i never thought I'd get to write this post.

not long ago i was yet another unemployed student. 

struggled with anxiety and depression.
couldn't land an interview at "my dream" company. 

i'd given up on myself, my dreams and future. 

but my dad never did. not once. 

where i saw struggle, he saw opportunity.

see, my dad grew up poor. picking cotton from the fields in mexico. he worked day and night to get out of it. 

just to be able to give me a life worth living. 

and every day i make sure i do. 

because if i can't do it for me, i'm doing it for him. 

can't complain about my plate being full when the goal was to eat. 

grateful to everyone who's given me a platform to grow.
and proud of whoever is on the same journey.

keep going, i believe in you. 

Repost ♻️ to inspire all other entrepreneurs who are doing it for their parents ❤️

PS: Do we look similar???

I just made my most important Gen-Z hire of my career. 

Without even looking at a CV or an interview.

This hire had something special:

A track record proven by her reputation on LinkedIn. 

I hired her over 100s of other applicants.
Because her LinkedIn proved she could do the job. 

Gen-Z isn’t interested in writing the best CVs.
Gen-Z are building their personal brands instead.

And now many don't need a resume to get a job. 

In days Laiba Javed has:

1. Created systems for the entire business
2. Coordinated with every agency and client I work with.
3. Puts off every fire I start and turns it into gold.

The businesses are on track to hit my 2026 goals.

To be honest, I didn’t have to ask Laiba to prove her “experience” 

She did that a few months ago.
Noticed I needed a right hand woman.

She observed, she studied and came with action.

I hate ideas, I hate "suggestions," and she knew that.

So she let her work speak for itself.
And her reputation to close the deal. 

Anyone can learn anything; that's easy.
But having curiosity and bias for action can't be taught. 

Hiring managers...

Your best hire won't be the person with the shiniest resume.
It'll be the person who's willing to learn.

Give people a chance ❤️

PS: Laiba has been on my watch list for a looong time, so it's MY honour to have her be part of this journey.

Big confession: I'm a big fan of "small accounts".

So today, I'm celebrating my favorite LinkedIn accounts. 

Not the "biggest" ones. Not the most "viral".
But the ones who I think deserve it the most. 

Because community is the backbone of this platform. 

Connecting with people.
Commenting and networking.
Collaborating and supporting.

This is the LinkedIn that built this brand.

Took me 1000s of hours, and now I get to giveback.

So in honour of seeing those following my steps.

And spending hours doing the same....

Here are 10 entrepreneurs in my watchlist. 

Ali Amiri, MD = health advice that can change your life 
Aditi Pilania = mum and on a career growth journey
George Draco = how professionals can use AI today
Mischa Collins = fastest growing personal brand
Guy Massey = proof that any topic works, if you work!
Alan Greenin = making mortaging simple for everyone
Jess Coffman = one of the smartest marketers I've seen
Sophia Spadão = how to build an agency in your 20s
Joseph Tannous = how to get featured in PR and grow
Hayden Swerling = the best HR account right now

I need to keep doing these! So the goal is to do it more.

Look, I know LinkedIn may feel hard.
I know it seems cringe to post sometimes.

Sometimes you may feel like no one is watching.
But we are, I am. 

Keep going, your work will be noticed.

You're only one post away from changing your life.

As always my kings and queens. I'm rooting for you. 

P.S. Who are the creators that deserve more recognition? I'll be following ALL of them. 

Happy Sunday!

My 4-step writing framework is unbeatable.

(If you're stuck at low likes and impressions, read this)

Everyone is talking about the algorithm changing.
But small creators are going viral using this hack.

I called it the SLAY Framework:

1. The first 3 lines of your post should be a story.
2. Then on line 4 lead with a lesson for your audience.
3. Add to the post using actionable advice (listicles).
4. Finish with a question that puts the ball in their court.

Storytelling is the ultimate weapon for LinkedIn growth.

Because in a platform oversaturated with information...
Don't focus on facts, focus on emotions.

They'll remember you forever. 
.
Bonus: Think about the lesson 1st, and the story 2nd.

Your main goal is to educate using stories as the vehicle.

♻️ Repost this to make storytelling easy for everyone.

PS: I've seen the SLAY framework used 2x today on viral posts with 1k+ likes! My job here is done 🤝

You don't need algorithm hacks to grow on LinkedIn.

I spent the last 90 days testing every growth hack I could find. Here's what actually works:

(Based on analyzing content in different niches)

1. Hyper-specific content (3x a week)

• Solve one exact problem per post
• Use industry language your clients use
• Speak directly to one person

Adam Robinson has mastered this for B2B. 
Nausheen I. Chen is killing it for B2C. 

Address their problems directly. 

i.e "Stop losing credibility with your body language."

2. Proof-First Content

80% tactical step-by-step frameworks and screenshots.
20% stories on how you're doing it (use stories)

The 80% builds trust, the 20% engages them more. 

Educate and storytell. Always both. 

3. LinkedIn Video (let me explain...)

Video reach might be down right now.
But it's the fastest way to prove authority. 

LinkedIn video is ok.
Linkedin Lives? They're a goldmine.

We had a LinkedIn live with 200 people.
Made $10,000 from it. 

People buy from people they trust. Video accelerates this! 

I'd limit these to 2 a month, though, no pressure. 

I left a checklist for you in the image below for you to script your first Linkedin video too btw.

This is the no-bs blueprint for entrepreneurs. 

It's not about more volume, it's about more insights.

Dominating LinkedIn isn't just about virality right now.
It's about building a brand that earns trust.

Keep your focus on your 1 thing. 

The rest will follow.

I've just recorded a private video on how to dominate "storytelling" on LinkedIn like an expert. 

If you want it ♻️ repost this post and I'll send it to you (20 people max). 

PS: Which step do you struggle with the most?

PS: Got a surprise for you today, get 50% off my programmes until the end of November here: https://lnkd.in/e4RKsGx9

I got rejected from (nearly) every single job I applied to.

5yrs of Industry experience. 2 degrees. But 0 offers.

The consistent rejections made me feel unemployable.

So, I started writing on LinkedIn daily.

If you're not seeing any luck either:

Swap writing Resumes for writing posts on Linkedin
Quit waiting for opportunities and build your own.
Build an undeniable network that lifts you up.

1 month of writing on Linkedin → 10x more visibility.

Lesson? Become unemployable to others.

Build your own job instead. 

PS: I'm running a GIVEAWAY to celebrate nearly hitting 50k on YouTube! I'm giving away over $1,000 worth in prizes to the next 100 people who subscribe https://lnkd.in/eyMb42iX

To enter:

1. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel
2. Screenshot that you have and comment the photo

Winners will be announced on the 17th of November!

I built my first business to 6-figures after class. 

The reason? I didn't wait until "I felt ready" and you shouldn't either, because you already are. 

You don't need a logo, your first customers won't care.
You don't need a website, your ideal client wants proof.

You don't even need a shiny degree, you just need skill.

We're taught to wait until everything is perfect.
But perfect never comes, procrastination does, though. 

If you want to launch your new business.
Or promote a new offer you've been perfecting. 

Do this instead: 

1. List the 5 key problems you are solving for someone. 
2. Ask ChatGPT to expand on why this needs solving.
3. Create content on LinkedIn using the pain + solution
4. Use social proof wherever you can (can borrow it too)
5. Post case studies of people who you've helped
6. If you haven't yet, write about how this helped you
7. Take 10 people on this offer for free to get real results
8. Create content around these repeating steps 1-5

One fool-proof way to get clients (free or paid):

1. Search for people who look like you can help on Linky.
2. Send them a loom or gamma doc with your system
3. Tell them step-by-step how you can help immediatley 

Do this 20x a week, I guarantee you'll land a client.

Bonus tip: Implement your offer for them for free, so they can see the value of your work instantly. 

Trust me, after 4 weeks coaching next to 8-figure agency owners, this STILL works. 

This is what I did too, and would do again. 

No website, no crazy credentials, not even a logo.

Literally just a calendly link, a canva pitch and content that made people reach out.

Closed clients with the loom approach.

This isn't about virality, it's about making money. 
Your ideal client might not like the post and make it viral.

But they'll 100% reach out if you follow this strategy. 

I'll be expanding on some of the points in the comments.
Which step do you get stuck on the most? I'll help!

I've coached over 3,000+ entrepreneurs and creators.

Today, I want to review your posts for free.

But there are thousands of you here ( and only 1 me) 

So - I’ve got a special gift for you today: 

I built a GPT that behaves like me. 

It grades your posts on 3 specific checkpoints.

1. Clarity
2. Proof
3. Capture

And tells you what to fix in 60 seconds.

If you're ready to get brutally roasted.
And get the feedback on your hooks and content...

I built an FREE AI tool that does this for you. 
I call it the AI Post Analyzer.

(Deleting in 42hrs)

PS: The algorithm rewards what readers finish.

Write for readers first. Optimize for views after.

Profile optimization is overrated. Honestly. 

Focus on your content first. Comment 50x a day instead..

This is something you'll hear me say a lot. 

Because most people waste endless hours here.
Optimizing everything but have no traffic.

But....

If your content is getting traction.
You're commenting and networking daily.

But you're not seeing an increase in conversions.

Then your profile might be the problem. 

Most people will see your post.
They'll go to your profile looking for proof.
And if they're convinced, they'll book a call with you. 

So your next task after nailing content?

Optimizing your profile.

1. Your profile photo = shows warmth 
2. Your banner = shows instant proof 
3. Your featured section = tells them where to go

I made you a guide so you can implement it today.

Follow it step by step and position yourself as an expert.
