You're reading this because your LinkedIn isn't delivering meetings

You've tried everything to book meetings on LinkedIn:

↳ Sending connection requests 
↳ LinkedIn messages templates 
↳ Posting content

Yet, your calendar remains empty while your revenue targets loom large. 

Each morning, you check your inbox hoping for responses, only to face another day of disappointment.

This frustration is deeper than you might realize...

Every day without enough quality meetings means: 

↳ Your sales team is demoralized 
↳ Your growth projections keep getting pushed back 
↳ Your competitive position weakens as others gain market share 

We've helped 100+ businesses overcome these exact challenges

In the past 4 years, we've transformed LinkedIn into a predictable meeting generator for multiple businesses and agencies just like yours:

↳ Achieving 40%+ reply rates (compared to the industry average of 5-10%) 
↳ Booking 20-30 quality meetings monthly through strategic outreach

3 GTM agencies accidentally handed me 900+ warm leads.

Here's how you can also get it:

Every GTM agency and SaaS startup is heavily investing in employee personal branding right now. It started with lemlist, then ColdIQ - and slowly everyone in the ecosystem followed.

Because a high-quality post can create a warm lead list in < 24 hours

Likes. Comments. Shares.

And it does. 

But almost nobody is using it.

I tried this at SalesṚobot.co and failed. Terribly. 

I was just scraping and blasting LinkedIn DMs. 

This time, I did it differently using Trigify.io:

1. Monitor competitor posts - track when top GTM leaders post
2. Filter by relevance - is the post actually about them
3. Filter by engagement - 10+ likes minimum
4. Scrape profiles of everyone engaging
5. Push into SalesRobot/HeyReach.io/Instantly.ai/Smartlead 
6. Start the outreach

Those people already care about what your competitor sells.

Which means they probably care about what you sell too.

So instead of them waiting for a reply from the GTM leaders. 
You can actually reach them first. 

If you want, I can record a short video walking through the social listening and full workflow. 

Comment "LEADS" and I'll send it over.

🔥 THE BEST CLAUDE CODE COURSE IS OUT 🔥

but it won't build anything for you.

i'm non-technical. I haven't built a single thing yet.

but I kept seeing GTM Engineers using Claude Code for outbound in ways I didn't fully understand and I didn't want to keep nodding along pretending I did.

so I made a decision to actually learn it properly.

- there are a lot of resources online.
- i'm sure some of them are good.
- but I can't verify most of it and,
- i don't want shaky foundations.

so I narrowed it down to two.

1. Official Claude Code docs
2. Nick Saraev's course

Nick's course is the most thorough thing out there right now

i'm watching it as I write this.

The plan is simple:

- finish the course
- then build, break things
- figure out what actually works

if I get stuck, Claude helps me fix it.

and if I'm really stuck, Viktor's been deep in this long enough to point me in the right direction.

i think a lot of non-technical people are watching this space and waiting for the right moment to start.

i'm not sure that moment comes on its own.

We are a tribe of 10,000 members now. Still feels made up.

12 months ago it was < 900.

The journey wasn’t easy. I almost gave up halfway. 

I was stuck at 4K–5K for like... months. 

And I couldn't figure out why.

My own teammates were killing it. 

- 5–6% follower growth every week. 
- 50K+ impressions per week. 

And me? 

- 1% follower growth 
- 5–7K impressions/week 

And oh boy that's not a fun place to be.

So, I spent weekends on content strategies. 

→ Tried posting once a week
→ Tried posting 3 times/day
→ Tried viral templates

And this actually worsened the situation.

My impressions dropped.

But I didn't quit though. 

Kept going. Changed a few things. AND…

At some point it just started working again.

I still don't fully know why.

If you're in that place right now: 

- Posting and getting nothing back
- Watching everyone else grow

I get it. I don't have a magic answer. Nobody does.

Just don't let it make you quit.

Saurav G. took a chance on me before I had anything to show. That mattered more than I can explain. And the whole SalesṚobot.co team.

Divyanshi, Tosin, Georgios, Lohit, Prerona, Anushka - and honestly so many more people who showed up when I wasn't sure this was going anywhere.

Thank you. Really.

Now onto what we're building at StackOptimise ⚙️ with Felix, Penn, and the team. You'll be seeing a lot more of us.

Has your LinkedIn reach flatlined?

This is the reason why👇🏻

You torched your own reach without even realising it.

And I say that because I did the same thing. So I did some digging and found that it's because of these 3 things (this is my research, do your own due diligence):

[1] Pods

A bunch of creators agree to like and comment on each other's posts every week. Feels smart. Feels like a legit hack. Even I was running pods with 30+ people and watched the impressions climb. Daily. 

But LinkedIn figured it out. How?

Because the same accounts were engaging with my content every single time. And when that happens, the algorithm reads it as artificial engagement and nukes your distribution. 

[2] Generic AI slop

Everyone's churning out Claude-generated lead magnets and LinkedIn post copy daily. I know because I've personally cranked out 100+ pieces of AI content myself. Now I can spot it from a mile away.

And if a human can spot it, LinkedIn's algorithm absolutely can too, which is exactly why your reach is bleeding out.

[3] Zero creativity

Only a few people are coming up with new creative ideas. Others? Zero creativity. Because it's just easier to let Claude do the thinking. The whole feed has started to look and sound identical.

Same hooks. Same formats. Same recycled takes dressed up as insight. (notice the classic Claude copywriting pattern)

The last person who genuinely stopped my scroll was Taylor Haren. Even though parts of it felt AI assisted, the guy put in real effort and had a real point of view. You could feel the difference straight away. And that's what LinkedIn actually rewards. Always has.

So if your impressions are down, be real with yourself for a sec and ask yourself, “When was the last time I made something I was actually proud of?”

Trigify.io  Jarvis V2 is live and it's a BEAST.

you don't have to set up a social listening search manually anymore.

you can do it with a prompt. 

actually, you don't even have to write one. 

there are built-in prompts, just select one of those. 

i went ahead and tested it.

prompt: i want to monitor every mention of 
your brand name {BRAND} across social. help me set up a search for this, then classify each mention as: advocate (positive recommendation), prospect (someone asking about us), support issue (complaint or problem), comparison (us vs a competitor), or neutral. route each type differently so the right team sees it. Include the post text and author profile link in every notification.

that's it.

came back with all the viral posts.

what's new:

1/ chat with it in plain language.
2/ change search criteria while the agent is running.
3/ multi-channel search - Reddit, LinkedIn, X, YouTube. All at once.
4/ output goes straight into your stack. Slack. Clay. MCP. Wherever you need it.

few clicks. full pipeline.

have you tried Trigify Jarvis V2 yet? If not, give it a shot right now.

I left a comfortable Marketing Lead role at a SaaS company focused on LinkedIn outreach to join a cold-email agency. Here's why I made the switch:

Before I get into my reasoning, let me give you a quick breakdown of how both LinkedIn Dm and Cold email work.

1. Copy

Cold emails need to sound professional and stripped down.
LinkedIn DMs work best when they sound like something you'd actually say.

2. Volume

Cold email = scale. 20-30/inbox/day.
LinkedIn = slower pace. Around 200 new connections/week/profile.

3. Rules

Email success comes from relevance and proof - direct, simple, credible.
LinkedIn success comes from consistency - showing up, commenting, sharing useful content.

4. Follow-up

Email: 3-5 value-led touchpoints. No empty follow-ups.
LinkedIn: max 3 messages, spaced out, keep it social.

5. Tools & Testing

Email: test multiple versions - value, case study, pain question.
LinkedIn: test different DMs at scale, double down on what gets replies.

6. Results & Setup

Cold email: higher volume, lower reply rate, easy to scale.
LinkedIn: smaller volume, higher engagement, harder to scale.

Now here's what this data did to me.

The reply rates on LinkedIn looked great. Impressive. 

But the decision makers - the ones who actually sign contracts, have the buying power - weren't really there.

And when they were, they weren't buying. 

Whereas cold email reply rates are lower.

But the people who reply are serious.

Bigger deals. Higher LTV. Cleaner path to the decision maker.

And then there's multi-threading.

On cold email you can CC a colleague, forward a thread, loop in the whole buying committee in one move.

Try doing that on LinkedIn.

You're tagging people in comments, sliding into multiple DMs. It gets messy. Fast.

If you want to scale outbound, cold email is what you should focus on.

StackOptimise ⚙️

I spent 48+ hours reading prompt engineering guides from Google, Anthropic, Clay and ChatGPT. Here's what they all agree on:

6/10 prompts are generic.

"Write me a cold email for a SaaS product."

Well that's only gonna get you a shitty output.

I've read all 4 guides. And this is NOT how they teach us to write a prompt.

Every single guide says the same thing.

I've summarised them into 4 parts:

1. Context

Set the context for the prompt to understand what the conversation is about.

- Who are you talking to.
- What's the situation.
- What does it need to know before it can help you.

Ex: You are an AI assistant evaluating whether a company is a good fit for my product. Here's what my product does and who it's for.

2. Definition

Tell it what you want out. And what you don't.

Format. Length. How it should respond.

Ex: Only output yes or no.

3. Rules

Hard lines. Non negotiables.

- What it must do.
- What it must never do.
- What to default to when it's unsure.

Ex: Default to yes unless clearly excluded. If uncertain, yes.

4. Task

One thing. Clearly stated. At the end.

Not three things. One.

Ex: Now evaluate this company based on the criteria above.

That's the whole thing. Context. Definition. Rules. Task.

Works for cold email. Research. Content. Website crawling. Anything.

How to build Claude Skills 

(without knowing how to prompt)

Step 1: Prompt until output stops being sh*tty

Start with the task you want Claude to do. Give it references. Give it examples of what good looks like. Do’s and Don’ts.

Keep going until the output is 80% there. 

This takes 10-20 back and forths. Maybe more.

Just keep fixing what's broken.

Step 2: Make Claude do the hard part

Once you've got something decent, tell Claude to analyze the entire conversation.

"Look at everything we just did. What changes made the biggest difference? What guardrails worked? What examples fixed the issues?"

It'll miss stuff on the first pass. So run it again. And again. 

Until every tweak is documented.

Step 3: Structure it like this

Tell claude to convert the document into a skill with five pieces:

- Context (what this skill is for)
- Guardrails (dos and don’ts)
- Phases (how the skill works step by step)
- Examples (real inputs, real outputs)
- Iteration checklist (runs every single time before output)

That last one is what separates a prompt from a skill. The checklist forces consistency.

Step 4: Bake in the self-check

Add a final instruction that makes Claude verify it followed every step before delivering anything.

That's it... :)

This was the X-factor that helped Guillaume Moubeche spike lemlist  to $20M ARR without any funding and zero reputation. 

His personal brand. 

His distribution was locked and loaded before his product even shipped.

Most founders grind for months building something they're genuinely stoked about and then drop it into complete silence.

The audience they needed? Never built it.
The trust? Never earned it.

Here's what actually works:

The founders who are out here crushing it, whether it's SaaS, solopreneurs, or agency owners, built their audience way before they had something to sell. Why? 

Because by the time the product is ready, the people following them already trust them, vibe with them, and want to hand them money.

Adam Robinson did it and took RB2B to $8M ARR.
Felix Frank ⚙️ and Penn Frank ⚙️ are doing it for StackOptimise ⚙️ .
Matthew Putnam is doing it for Prospeo.

And how can we forget Justin Welsh - the man built an entire empire off it before most people even knew what a personal brand was! 

A personal brand gives you organic reach, builds trust with the right audience, and creates credibility that no ad spend can touch.

Your product can wait two more weeks. Your distribution can't afford to.

So what's actually stopping you from starting today?

I set Claude Cowork on a task and went grocery shopping with my mom. And I expected it to fail.

- 7 creators
- Their writing styles
- Their best hooks and threads
- The patterns behind their viral posts.

I came back to a bag full of groceries and a swipe file that would have taken me 3 days to build manually.

312 hooks. 12 style breakdowns. 89 content angles.

All organised. Ready to rip.

Here's the sauce:

I opened X. Went to Sahil Bloom's profile. Gave Claude Cowork one task: analyse this creator's writing style, hooks, topics, and what makes their copy hit.

Once it finished, I gave it the list of other profiles.

Then I bounced.

It worked through them one at a time. Opened a profile. Scrolled. Extracted the patterns. Moved to the next. Kept cooking until done.

By the time I was unloading groceries, it had pulled apart 7 creators and built a legit swipe file I can use for the next 6 months.

Content research now doesn't have to eat your entire day anymore.

The process is dead simple:

1. Open a creator's profile
2. Tell Claude Cowork to analyze their style, hooks, and patterns
3. Give it the rest of the profiles
4. Go live your life
5. Come back to a swipe file

try it out and let me know how did it go for you

Attention agency owners: the exact GTM AI agent and automation systems behind a $2.5M ARR business is now available to you.

Devrim Celikay, head of operations at StackOptimise ⚙️, built it. 

I've seen it up close. It's the real deal.

If you've watched your agency grow and felt the whole thing start to crack under its own weight... you already know what this fixes.

Most courses hand you a framework and wish you luck. This one cracks open the actual secret sauce behind StackOptimise - the systems that took StackOptimise to $2.5M ARR without the wheels falling off.

It’s 6 modules. 6+ hours. 

➕ Make. n8n. Agentic AI. RevOps. Claude Code. 
➕ Notion SOPs. 
➕ Plug-and-play templates. 
➕ Ready-to-deploy AI agents. 
➕ And A private Slack full of top GTM operators. 

Sounds too good to be true? I thought so until I took the course. 

Devrim didn't just study this stuff. He ran it. Every day. For real clients. 

Then decided to record the whole thing so you don't have to figure it out the hard way.
