When you realize the handshakes at $100K trade show booths aren’t actually booking the $1M projects you travelled 38 hours for (even if the whole team showed up in matching shirts) and then you see the logo you flew in for, right there at booth 21…

…that’s when it hits you.

You are so done competing over an RFQ that has been mentally awarded to your competitor 6 months to ago.

By day two it dawns on you: the real buying decision already happened somewhere else.

When their loyal supplier fucks up. Quality issues showed up. The domino effect are millions lost had procurement on chokehold - “we need a second source.”

That emergency has procurement in search mode.

The stack of business cards thick enough stopped convincing yourself it was working.

60–70% of B2B buying decisions are shaped before the first sales call.

You’re often competing in a conversation that already started without you.

And today that conversation is happening in one place more than anywhere else:

LinkedIn.

I see it constantly in my clients inboxes.

A buyer reads a precise post about a production crisis they’re already dealing with.

They send a message.

A few exchanges later…

It turns into a $500K–$1M opportunity.

A post can you past any gatekeeper: it’s compressing exactly what your buyer needs to hear at the moment they are facing a real crisis you solve:

- a supplier they no longer trust
- a production delay threatening a launch
- a redesign cycle burning six months
- a CFO asking uncomfortable questions

Do that 3–4 times a week and you start conversations that skip multiple trust layers almost instantly.

Especially in manufacturing.

Because right now?

Most of the industry is still spending 6 figures to shake hands…While the vendor decision gets made in silence months earlier - without you.

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

It’s 9:12pm after a trade show…You spent $100K on the booth in the corner. Got 187 business cards. And you already know Monday will be your team chasing gatekeepers.

You sell a $1M+ solution…but you’re still trying to sneak past assistants like it’s 2009.

Meanwhile the VP of Ops you want is scrolling LinkedIn on the commute.

They read a post about:
- a $2M supplier switch mistake
- a delay that killed a launch window
- a redesign that burned 6 months

They send it to the CFO. Now your name is in the room.
No more gatekeepers.

A call gets booked…Your rep closes. Onboarding starts on Wednesday.

Most CEOs hire more reps, buy more lists. Send more “quick question” emails. 

While the budget gets allocated to fund your competitor.

Because your competitor has credible positioning.

I fix client acquisition systems so $500K–$1M manufacturing deals start in DMs instead of trade show booths.

60–70% of B2B decisions happen before the first sales call.

They reach out with a Linkedin message telling you how one delayed production cycle burned $500K–$2M in redesigns, supplier changes, and missed launch windows.

No gatekeeper can block a name that’s already trusted

Less than 10% of manufacturers do this well.

Most are still dialing.

You’ll forecast another $200k-$500k per quarter in projects when you stop sending linkedin inquiries away to your email.

Everytime i read about a big opportunity in my clients messages, we ask a few questions first to: 

(1) qualify the lead before wasting everyones time. I usually ask at what stage they’re in, which always tells me how much capital they’re then willing to invest with us next.

(2) build tension. asking questions before sending them your calendly link builds curiosity instead of killing it with “sure send me an email”.

The people who understand this close $200k - $500k projects directly out of messages. 

Sometimes even without going on calls.
