I hate sales calls, so I stopped doing them. And it’s how I’m going to make 7 figures. 

Instead, I mastered inbound, writing with enough sauce that buyers show up ready to buy, and I close deals in messages without having to persuade them.

I’ve noticed most of my sales come through emails anyway.

Mostly because I usually already know why someone is here before they even open their mouth.

Like, you come in and tell me you crossed $10M. I believe that.

What I’m actually listening for is:

The demand you’re currently generating through ads is slowly eating at you, micromanaging your team, you’re clearly fed up managing shitty buyers and spending way too much time dealing with people who question everything in your process.  

Because that’s the problem.

UR GETTING DEMAND BUT IT SUCKS.

And you don’t fix that on sales calls.

You don’t fix that by explaining more.

You fix it by writing to people who are already in crisis, loaded pockets who already know something’s off and are actively looking for someone who can handle it for them. 

Those people want your rules.

They want someone to say:

this is how it works

this is the plan

this is the price

And they relax when they hear that.

They bend because they’re relieved someone finally has structure.

This is why vague content kills sales.

You can shock people with your hooks and have DMs full of “this is so true.”

And still sell nothing.

Because none of that answers the only thing that matters at this level:

Can you actually deal with my problem?

Your writing has to do one thing.

It has to make it obvious that you know exactly what’s happening in their business - and that you know what to do about it.

When that’s clear, you assume the money is already in your account. That’s it.

That’s how inbound works.

A lot of people don’t have their best year yet because they keep doing shit they hate. 

People say “just do it consistently.”

But if you hate it - like really hate it - you’re already losing.

And that’s why you continue to attract buyers you hate -  and continue to choose them.

A lot of ceos tell me they hate them too, but its whats “required of them“ - thats to vet their buyers. My thought is this: You have sales people to take care of it. If you‘re still doing them U NEED TO UNDERSTAND your buyers better. And to climb to $30M you need to attract better buyers. 

I‘ll leave you with that.

I partner with founders (at $5M–$30M) so their buyers say yes to 1M+ deals. Subscribe below:

I’m going to tell you a slightly evil plan for getting a manufacturing group $1M+ clients/ per quarter on LinkedIn. An honest breakdown:

In the beginning, we pulled in the WRONG clients. Pre-seed inventors with no VC money. We were talking about products and it attracted people who had no funding behind their name.

So we stopped talking about products and started talking about the moment where everything can go wrong in hardware.
Pre-production. The moment of hell.

The moment where money has already been committed, timelines are fragile, one mistake can cost six figures, and nobody inside the company wants to be the person responsible if it fails.

Almost no business actually knows their buyer’s crisis moment.

They’ll say shit like:
“We help companies build products”
“We do end-to-end manufacturing”
“We scale businesses”

That’s really useless.

This is the question I use to vet every inbound in 2025:

“What is the exact moment your buyer panics internally?”

Why i’m punitively precise on that angle:

Every deal has multiple trust battles:

- Do they trust you
- Do they trust your mechanism / method
- Do they believe the mechanism works for their situation
- Do they trust you to execute it 
- Do they believe it delivers the result

We rode that angle relentlessly. Even if it got boring.

Now that manufacturer is closing $1.2M clients/ per quarter on Linkedin. 

This is where a real positioning strategist matters.
Someone who understands LinkedIn well enough to wear the angle out properly.

And moving into 2026 I’m adding a new layer to our strategy:

We’re launching our own products as a group and showing every real manufacturing decision in public, so when buyers hit the moment they’re scared to decide, the trust is already pre-sold.

That is doing two things:

1. Pulling in bigger buyers
2. It opens doors to media that has nothing to do with LinkedIn.

You could absolutely run this yourself if you’re a manufacturer.

Or you partner with someone who’s already burned the cycles figuring it out.

That’s what we do here.

I control demand for a few manufactuers and across all of them, I’ve noticed the same thing: TAKE NOTES. 

The moment they own a mechanism - and we push that mechanism everywhere - buyers handle their own objections at every stage of the sale.

We’ve done this through lead magnets and through long-form breakdowns.

But the real shift happened when we pushed the mechanism hard on LinkedIn and made all of their marketing about how the work actually gets done.

There’s this idea floating around that “buyers don’t care about your method.”

That’s bullshit - at least for this class of buyer.

There is a massive difference between:

- someone buying a $3K SaaS tool
- and a buyer about to risk six or seven figures on a manufacturing decision

Those buyers want to see how the machine works.

Here’s what’s actually happening under the hood with every serious prospect:

You have multiple battles to win - in order.

1. Do they trust you?
2. Do they trust your mechanism?
3. Do they believe the mechanism works for their situation?
4. Do they trust you to execute it under pressure?
5. Do they believe it reliably delivers the result?

We let assets do the heavy lifting before the conversation even starts.

This is how.

We take their real process and put it under a microscope.

1. We break the process into distinct stages
2. We give each stage a specific name
3. We wrap it in technology or systems that are built in-house 
4. We explain exactly how each stage works
5. We show how each stage connects to the next
6. We lead everything to a clear end result

Now something important happens.

Instead of being skeptical of the entire process, prospects can be skeptical about one stage at a time.

That’s good.

Because each stage now has its own focused asset that goes deep on that specific risk, that specific decision, that specific concern.

So objections stop being emotional and vague:

“I’m not sure this will work…”

And become precise and solvable:

“What happens at Stage 3 when copycat manufacturers in China replicate your design at half the price - and how do you prevent it?"

That’s when deals move.

Prospects want to see the machinery exposed.

Prospects want to see you naked - operationally.

And 2026 is going to reward exactly that.

Hyper-specific mechanisms.

Because it removes uncertainty before they ever have to ask for reassurance.

CLOCKED IT????

That’s how manufacturers sell faster, with less convincing, and bigger mandates.

(1) Getting B2B CMOs a LinkedIn-literate team | (2) 12-week enquiry generation program *only* for consultants | +$300K in client pipeline | Message "Curious" to know more.

"Popular" content never impresses buyers.

It impresses the "LinkedIn Famous" (who don't buy from you.)

If posting worked,

And 5 of your team members just posted then everyone would be winning.

After working with leaders from multiple B2B industries, dealing with complex buyer behavior, and business problems....

It's *always* about sales psychology.

What triggers your clients?

What makes them go "We need this team on our side ASAP"

Content, profile, DMs are methods, 

The core is the trigger.

Once you figure out what makes them tick, you are golden.

You learn that with training. 

In 6 weeks business starts coming in,

In 12 weeks our partners need to outsource because they are over occupied.   

Many spend $15K for months and see no growth at all...

Which is why I want you to vet me.

Because if you want a solid business, you need a solid partner.

I would do the same.

My only condition is you evolve. I hate un-invested people.

You can see my case studies now, message me "Curious."

Ciao.

Founders get played by doomed market “predictions” 
Every. Single. Time.

Tactics can’t disrupt the market,
So they disrupt humans.

"AI will kill LinkedIn." 
"Founder-led sales is dead." 
"Only carousels/videos work.” 
"Thought leadership is no more."

They get scared. Rush to pivot so they don’t fail…
And slam the table when the new thing doesn’t work.

Suddenly, a new hype hits the market. Again. 
Companies squirm to keep up. Again. 
The cycle never stops.

Yet 1 fundamental has never not worked: classic LinkedIn.

Inbound wins without toe-curling sensationalism and new tactics. 
It does not budge for creator rules. 
Doomed predictions. 
Or trends.

When the metric is $80K enquiries without burying your reputation,
lure bombs burn it alive.

Hate ads, so I nailed inbound · Engineering B2B enquiries for $45k–2m deals · Deploying in-house sales

There’s 0 benefit to inbound without its core element:
Essence.

Without essence, your content gets claps,
but never gets buy-in.

Without essence, your profile is a stand-up;
not a “He sees through our problem.”

Without essence, your name is just known for its knowledge;
not trusted for executive judgment.

There is a thin line between an excellent business,
and an excellent creator.

The former assumes $12k retainer enquiries in your DMs.
The latter forces you to use “DM now” CTAs in every post.

Commoditization is a sly venom veteran businesses ingest happily.

Ciao.

2-decade agency founders forced to write “DM me” in every post is pure agony.

You saw the industry break and reform through every season. 
You saved companies from massive failures.
You made entrepreneurs who they are today.

Yet when one fails to leverage this gold for inbound -
They’re forced to perform like beginners.

The wrong catalyst destroys decades of reputation 
and brand image within a second. 

The right one never forces you to act low.

Un-normalize post CTAs.

Ciao.
