I help 7 and 8-figure brands find agencies they love | 1x exit | $100M revenue from TikTok & FB Ads

I help B2B agency owners and consultants build predictable lead gen systems they actually own, based on my experience building and selling a 7-figure agency in just 2 years.

My favorite clients are high 6 or 7-figure agencies who are running on mostly referrals (or one channel), who are looking to "get LinkedIn working". 

At some point you typically realize there's more to it than just writing content and posting.

That's where I show up: I can help you build a full inbound + outbound funnel that brings you ideal-fit clients every month, without you grinding all day on content.

I believe that:

1. The tedious work that agency owners used to outsource to black box lead gen agencies is now actually 

- really easy, 
- highly automatable, and 
- should be done in house once you get over the limiting belief that it's hard, and

2. Learning how to run a modern go-to-market system - literally learning how to fish - is one of the best possible uses of a founder's time.

Plus it's fun.

What I offer:
Modern Lead Gen Bootcamp - 4-week intensive where you build your complete lead gen system. Lists, outbound, lead magnets, ads. Live coaching.

Modern B2B Sales Advisory - 3-4 month engagements where I help you build your entire GTM function. Strategy, systems, tech stack, team training.

What people say:

"Over the course of the program with Tim I doubled revenue in about two months." - Alexandre Olim, Plutus Media

"Building a lead gen system that gets me leads that already are half closed because of my content." - Laksh Sehgal, Neuroid

"Before buying Tim's course I would spend hours and hours on a single post and now I can write 3-5 posts in one hour." - Pedro Leite, Adstart

"Best course I had about agency leads. Been in the game for 4 years, it's the best course out there I've found." - Saar Bell

What I help you build is running in my business right now, and I have been at the pointy end of lead generation on LinkedIn for the last few years.

DM me if you run a high-6-figure+ agency and would like a friendly, no-strings-attached roast of your current lead generation system.

VP of Marketing

Building the best DTC agency in the country with some ecom legends.

NEVER pay a developer again.

This free Claude Code training replaces a $50,000/year dev hire.

Most founders struggle with building tools:

- Waiting weeks for simple features
- Paying $150/hr for basic automations
- Stuck because they "aren't technical"

I just built a FREE training academy based on everything I learned using Claude Code over the last 6 months.

The capabilities are insane:

→ Build real tools without writing code yourself
→ Prompt Claude so it actually delivers what you want
→ Deploy live apps to the internet
→ Automate tasks that used to take hours

I used this to train myself and my entire team to be A-players

The best part?

In the free academy you work on your own project. Your own brief. Something with actual business value.

I've included everything in the training:

→ Terminal fundamentals (no experience needed)
→ The art of scoping, why AI fails and how to fix it
→ Git & GitHub basics
→ Prompting techniques that actually work
→ Hosting & deployment walkthroughs
→ A real graduation project you can use

I get agencies more ideal clients | 1x exit | GTM strategy & coaching

This Gemini 3 system replaces a $120,000/year agency sales team.

(I built it to kill the Freelancers for good)

Most agency owners spend $5k - $15k monthly on:

- Ghostwriters who sound like robots.
- Lead gen agencies that burn your reputation.
- VAs who need constant hand-holding.

I'm done with the BS.

I spent 6,000+ hours testing agency sales workflows.

I built a fully agentic system that does the work for you.

It doesn't help you work, it replaces the manual labor.

I'm giving away the "Gemini 3: Agency Sales System" protocol today.

Inside the Agency Sales System:

→ The Gemini 3 prompt library for founders

→ My internal Sales Onboarding Kit

→ The "Deep Personalization" outreach workflow

→ 8-chapter playbook on 7-figure lead magnets

→ The "Sanitizer" pass to kill generic AI tone

→ My 4-week lead gen implementation roadmap

Start owning your infrastructure.

I'm giving away EVERY resource and training I created in 2025.

(it is the exact weapon I used to scale + sell my $5M business)

Most gurus sell "hacks" that do not work for agencies.
- They want you to send 1,000 spam DMs.
- They want you to post "viral" content with zero ROI.
- They want you to buy 10 different software tools.

I do the opposite as I use one simple system.

I have spent the last 2 years refining this with 300+ agency owners.
It is not a course as it is the internal infrastructure of a scalable agency.

Today, I am giving it away for free.

Here is what is waiting for you:

- The Referral-Killer lead generation blueprint
- 11,000 words of agency-specific sales strategy
- The LinkedIn profile setup for high-ticket trust
- Exact outreach prompts with 18%+ reply rates
- My Comment-to-Call conversion framework
- The 4-week roadmap to a predictable pipeline

If you want to own a system instead of a job, you need this.

P.P.S. ♻️ Repost this and I'll also send you my 3-day internal training on booking inbound calls on autopilot.

I closed $5 million in agency revenue from LinkedIn DMs.

I put every framework, script, lesson inside a FREE Gemini 3 AI bot.

And you can use it.

No network. No degree. No "DM hacks."

Just the boring playbook I ran every week now powered by AI.

What it does:

→ Writes DMs based on $5M+ in closed deals (not theory)
→ Mirrors the prospect's tone, form, and style automatically
→ Turns "sounds cool" into "what does it cost?"
→ Handles the 5 objections that kill 80% of deals
→ Books calls without sounding desperate

Results from this exact system:

→ $0 to $1M in 12 months (bootstrapped)
→ Doubled client revenue in 60 days
→ 3-5 posts written in 1 hour (not 1 post in 3 hours)
→ Calendars "almost too booked" with qualified leads

How to use it:

1. Paste your offer
2. Paste your leads last message
3. Pick your goal: start chat, handle objection, or book call

You also get a short YouTube video showing the full flow.

Want it?

Comment "DM" and I'll send you the GPT.

P.S. ♻️ Repost this and I'll send you the full recordings of my 3-day GTM Cohort masterclass where I teach the COMPLETE LinkedIn + lead gen system behind these results.

i fed Claude Opus 4.5 my system behind 18,731 leads.

(it turned it into a 30-day action plan for you)

most people treat linkedin like a slot machine.

post something. hope it hits.
send a few DMs. get ignored.
wonder why nothing converts.

then they blame the algorithm.

But it's not the algorithm as it's the lack of a system.

i spent 4 years figuring out what actually works on linkedin.

profile optimization, content pillars, DM sequences, lead magnets, discovery calls, closing.

every piece, every day, mapped out.

then i asked Claude Opus 4.5 to structure it into a 30-day speed run.

here's what's inside:

→ days 1-10: foundation, profile, and pipeline setup
→ days 11-16: content 101 (hooks, bodies, carousels that convert)
→ days 17-22: lead magnets, funnels, and distribution
→ days 23-30: offers, calls, and closing

each day = just 15-30 minutes of focused work doing the tasks I say you need to do.

BONUS: my content swipe file + my full linkedin DM guide

This is the system that turned linkedin into my #1 revenue channel.

now it's yours

want the full 30-day speed run?

1. connect with me
2. comment "speed" below

i'll send everything to your DMs.

p.s. we must be connected or linkedin blocks the message.

♻️ p.p.s. repost this and i'll also send you my full 3-day linkedin cohort recordings ($997 VALUE) where i teach this exact system to experienced agency founders.

I generated $5M in agency sales. 

(then I documented every Claude prompt I ever used)

Most agency owners commit "Sales Suicide" daily.

They give prices to strangers immediately.
They chase leads who are just price-shopping.
They act like vendors instead of experts.

I spent 4 years refining a system for 300+ agencies.
I stopped the "how much do you charge" dance.

I'm giving away the The $5 Million Dollar 'Claude Code' Agency Sales Vault.
This is the exact prompt vault I used to scale.

Inside the implementation guide:

→ The 'Acknowledgement' frame to take control
→ 3 questions to qualify any lead in 60 seconds
→ The "It depends" pivot for high-level pricing
→ How to flip the power dynamic in the DMs
→ The exact transition to book qualified calls
→ 5 mistakes that kill authority instantly

This isn't a "guide."
It is a diagnostic weapon for your sales process.

One agency owner used this to double revenue in 60 days.
It turns "What are your rates?" into "Can you help me?"

Want the full script and vault?

I generated $4.7M in inbound revenue with zero ad spend and I believe everyone overcomplicates LinkedIn as I built and sold a 7-figure agency here

"you need a 47-step funnel"
"you need to spend $10k/month on ads"
"you need 6 months to build your system"

I call BS

I trained 200+ agency owners on landing dream clients
generated $4.7M without touching an ad account

the simplest strategy that worked?

lead magnets

→ no fancy funnels required
→ no ad budget needed
→ no months of building

just the right idea. packaged simply. posted the right way

a handful of mine pulled in 10,000+ comments and added millions to my pipeline

so I'm giving away the exact 6 lead magnets that changed my buisness

not theory. not "what might work"

what actually did

inside the swipe file:
- the 6 lead magnets that went viral
- why each one worked
- how to replicate them for yourself

no guessing. just proof

My Journey 
When I was 23 I decided to buy a Taco Del Mar restaurant... I knew I had made a huge mistake at 2pm the first day when only 3 customers had walked in... (and two of them were my parents haha) 
For 5 years I worked hard to grow sales every way I could think of and in the end, tripled our revenue which still didn't seem to matter on the profit side. (I lost a lot of money 💰)

The one thing that I seemed to be the best at in the restaurant endeavor was marketing and getting people in the door. 

Fast forward to 2014 when my wonderful wife Carmen (definitely my better half) started a modest baby clothing line and was selling at craft markets. 

I asked if I could test running a few ads on Facebook... and the rest is history. I learned every up-and-coming strategy and tactic and helped grow the small start-up to a multi-million dollar company and still growing!

Since then we have acquired multiple DTC brands and have built an agency (upGrowth Commerce) to service our brands as well as others who are in a similar situation to us!

In 2019 we started the podcast "secrets to scaling your e-commerce brand" which is now in the top 50 business/marketing podcasts in multiple countries including Canada and the United States.

I love connecting with people, so please connect. (I do have a no a**holes policy though, so don't connect if that's you.) 

I talk all about scaling businesses using paid ads on “Secrets To Scaling Your E-Commerce Brand”.

Chief Executive Officer

If you’re on TikTok Shop and you don’t use Reacher you are playing on hard mode!! 

But first a story… 

Last month I was in Vegas for business

 Bora Mutluoğlu and Jerry Qian flew out separately from SD and SF just for the night. 

Took me out for dinner. 
Hung out all night. 
Just because. 

I am so proud to have been their advisor. 

They will surpass any business success I’ve ever had very shortly. 

This is what I live for. 

So back to Reacher 

They have built every single feature I have asked for to build creator communities on TikTok Shop and beyond for brands. 

They are the obvious outreach tool for every brand (and it’s not even close) 

If I were a competitor I would just quit tbh 😆🤷‍♂️

They are on another plane. 

This isn’t sponsored - except maybe a friendship sponsor lol! 

Anyway just wanted the world of LinkedIn to know how much I appreciate these guys! 

I will bet on whatever they do in the future.

No alternative text description for this image

This is wild 👇🔥🔥
We have an internal channel at Social Commerce Club when new clients partner with us…

No word of a lie - that channel has been pinging at least 3-4x per week for the last couple of months.

Needless to say… we continue to hire 😆🤷‍♂️

This is super important for every single brand wanting to launch TikTok Shop  in 2026. 👇

If an agency tells you that you’ll be profitable in the first three months… 

RUN!!! 

Your goal in the first three months is…

1. Build the muscle 
2. Build a creator community 
3. Build momentum

That’s it! 

But… once you get momentum you’ll start seeing insane traction. 

And that’s when it gets fun! 

Thats what my team at Social Commerce Club loves for!!

2025 year in review (this will be juicy 😆🙌🏻) 
Highlights first (in order of importance) 👇

1. 4th baby arrived (me pictured trying to remember how to hold a new born ❤️) 

2. Acquired TUFF Media - unreal founder in Parker Kump and incredible team! Made Parker CEO (he’s a way better day to day operator than me)

3. Worked and scaled over 100 brands at Social Commerce Club - became one of the top 5 “gold status” TikTok Shop agencies in NA. 

We Should be the only platinum in Jan.

4. Founder/CEO Advising - worked one on one with 13 founders - mostly SAAS. 5 exits, 3 got into accelerators. (I’m waitlisting founders for this year btw - DM me if interested)

5. Acquired Roasberry to become Halo - the first omni channel decision engine for DTC brands (launching soon) 

6. Socials - over 10 million impressions between LinkedIn, X, YouTube etc 

7. Health (should have put this second but I’m typing and well…) 

Continued to not drink (highest leverage move and it’s not even close) 

Installed a “daily hike” into my work day - best new habit. 

Read/listened to over 50 books.

8. YouTube/podcasts - was only on 10 external podcasts (need to change that this year) 

Published 40 YouTube videos + 52 podcasts of Secrets To Scaling Your E-commerce Brand 

9. Friends (this should have been 3rd lol) 

Moved cuties 4 hours away and intentionally have made some amazing friendships even at 39! 

We’ve hosted at our house least 20 times since we’ve moved and made a lot of ribs and brisket!! 

Lowlights

1. Said yes too much that took away from my main goals.

2. Didn’t spend enough time one on one time with my kids. 

3. Worked too much on things that didn’t matter to ME. 

4. Made some poor cultural hiring decisions that I had to walk back (read fire) 🔥 

Ok that’s it! 

What was your 2025 highlight?

I’m going to be honest 😢
In Aug… we were churning a lot of clients and not hitting expectations…

September we made some Big personnel decisions and it changed everything!! (Not like things were terrible before) 

Seeing my Social Commerce Club team working at this level makes me realize that they ARE the number one world class team for TikTok shop IMO 

Oh also… Parker Kump taking over as CEO has helped too!! 😆🤷‍♂️

graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message

“How should I think about sampling on TikTok Shop?” 👇 
We get this question from brands at Social Commerce Club constantly…

So... Here’s the framework we use. (probably save this one) 🔥 

Step 1: Stop treating sampling like a checklist
It’s not…

It’s an investment decision!! 👏 

Step 2: Use metrics as inputs

Not gates.

Yes, we look at…

→ Recent GMV
→ Post rate
→ Content quality
→ TikTok signals

Step 3: Zoom out and get the full context

Creator-side questions: (here's where the gold is people!!)

→ Is their content good enough to sell anything
→ Do they post like it’s a job… or like it’s a hobby
→ How long have they been on the platform
→ Do they engage in the community
→ Is there an obvious use case for the product
→ Does the page feel like someone who “gets it”

Brand-side questions

→ What’s the goal (GMV max vs brand control - this is something we contantly need to think about with the types ad size of brands we work with at Social Commerce Club)
→ What’s the sampling budget + volume we aligned on
→ Do unit economics work (COGS, shipping, margin)
→ Do we have inventory to support this
→ Does the category fit their audience
→ How aggressive does the brand want to be

Step 4: Make the bet

Every product we send is an investment!!!
We place it where it has the highest chance of creating real value…

Now (performance)
Or later (relationship)

And if you’re unsure…

That’s normal.

Pull someone in.

Pressure test it!

I hope that helps... questions?

Last month... I found an INSANE stat about TikTok Shop creators that EVERY brand needs to understand before going HARD on the platform. 👇 

1. there are OVER 3.5 million creators signed up on tiktok shop

2. Here's the part that will blow your mind... 

Of those 3.5 million creators... 

less than 50K of them produce more than 1k of GMV (sales) a month. (thanks to Bora Mutluoğlu and Reacher for the numbers btw)

First... I have been saying this for the last 2 years. 

There are so few AMAZING creators. 

Second - your job as a brand is to find these creators and keep them happy and working for your brand. 

We've known this as the case at Social Commerce Club for the past 2 years and built an INSANELY high performing network. (that we plug new brands into from day 1) 

The next thought I have is around strategy if you can't get those creators to pay attention. 

This isn't something that I talk about that often TBH. 

BUILD YOUR BRAND CONTENT on your TikTok page 

Seriously. 

Get someone fulltime to crank out at least 10 videos a day. (stay away from fully AI btw - TikTok is deprioritizing that right now) 

Look at your competitors top performing content creators on @FastMoss and use those videos as inspo for your brand. 

Am I saying don't work with affilaites?? 

No not at all! 

Affilaites are so important to your overall strategy. 

What I AM SAYING is... 

Control what you can at first. 

And you can control your own brand content and how much you put out daily. 

So do that. 

Know a brand thinking of launching on TikTok Shop in 2026? 

Send them this post - it may help them understand the platform that much better!

THIS IS A JOB POST FOR Social Commerce Club 🔥 
The more TikTok Shop agencies appear on the scene... the more I realize that 99.9% of them just don't get it. (or the broader market)

This is a great opportunity for us at Social Commerce Club - but also really sucks for the broader DTC community trying to enter the channel! 

The ONLY THING I THINK ABOUT DAILY is on increasing capacity (because as you know... demand is not our problem! 

And to do that... we need people to join us that RAISE THE BAR (not just meet it which generally weeds out 99% of people) 

So... we are hiring for the role of "social commerce strategist" 

What is it? 

You work directly in between our brand partners and our creator community. 
You help BIG brands enter the social commerce world on Tiktok shop driving both massive AWARENESS but also massive amounts of net new customers and revenue. 

Who are you? 

your friends call you "tenancious" "can learn anything" "won't settle for good enough" "can take on any challenge" "methodical is getting results" 

What have you done in the past? 

Titles may have looked like "brand strategist" "growth strategists" "director of ecomm" etc. 

If that's you... I'm going to tag in Klaryssa Pangilinan, CPHR 

1. Connect with her. 
2. Tell her that Jordan West said you should message. 
3. Tell her why you would be a fit for Social Commerce Club
4. Let's goooooooo 

Also would love a share and tag anyone you know may be a fit (ps... the best usually already have a job)

What’s up with That smile? 
Well let me tell you… 👇

A few things 

1. Social Commerce Club is going to be the biggest TikTok Shop agency in NA this year 

2. I have an amazing leadership team and CEO at SCC 

3. I love doing what I do on a daily basis 

4. I get to work with some of the biggest brands in the world. 

5. I am launching the biggest disruptive tool for brands since iOS 14.5 

6. I love my life 

That’s why I’m smiling … but tbh I would be smiling if everything was in shambles too - it’s a skill 😆🤷‍♂️

I have a confession LinkedIn…
This time last year…

I hired…

A ghost writer! 😆😢🤞

And you know what? 

They wrote better than me. 

They got better engagement. 

They saved me time!! 

But you know what?? 

After 2 months… it felt kinda weird. 

It wasn’t me.

I missed the habit of writing every day. I felt less articulate. 

Same thing with experimenting with AI 🤖 content. 

Sure - it works ish - but it’s not me. 

And I LOVE articulating ideas. 

I had lost my voice. 

So I went back to writing daily and let me tell you… best decision ever!! 

It’s not for everyone - I get it. But it’s for me!! 

Anyone else gone through this??

TikTok shop growth is hard. I want to break down EXACTLY how to do it in 2026 for any brand.

Hot take for 2026 👇

AI is better than you at UGC 

But… I don’t think it matters. 

Why? 

It’s not real.

It may work for a short time… but in the end, humans want humans. 

We love watching each other struggle and overcome. 
 
The messiness - the pain. 

It’s built in. 

One of my biggest takes is that AI content will be completely deprioritized in 2026 - because people are spending less time online as a result. 

Thoughts?

🔥 2026 predictions (you may not want to read these if you don’t like change e-commerce brands)

1. AI UGC on social media will be almost completely deprioritized and companies that make AI UGC will struggle (plus there will be some big consumer lawsuits similar to to ADA level lawsuits IMO) 

Also as an aside AI written content here on LI will be deprioritized (we all hope lol) 😂 

2. 95% of enterprise brands (read household names… not DTC darlings though some may take it more seriously before it’s too late) will enter TikTok Shop in some form. 

This one is interesting because I obviously have a lot of insider knowledge at Social Commerce Club and it’s wild. 

3. The Ads that work on paid social will HAVE to be proven out on organic social first. Brands will return to organic first (again why I am obsessed with TTS) 

4. Organic Facebook reach is back baby!! Post at least 2 reels a day! 

5. MTA as a measurement system will die and more wholeistic measurements will take its place (read halo etc) 

6. Meta and TikTok will demand even more creative in their pursuit of personalized ads. (Hmmm where can a brand get thousands of videos to use across channels???) 

7. Agentic commerce will push 30% of referrals for big brands on DTC (get ready for the bots folks) 

8. Social Commerce Club will be the only platinum partner on TikTok Shop and triple in size this year and I AM here for it!! 

What did I miss??

BRANDS!!! DON'T GO ON TIKTOK SHOP! 
YES YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! 

Until you have this in place... (yes I hate the hook I just did too lol!) 

1. Your fulfillment needs to BE dialled. If you start out and don't have this (the most overlooked part of TT shop) dialed you will get penalized and in a HUGE WAY! 

Like one of my old mentors says "it's all in the set-up" 

Having your back-of-house operations right from day one...

shipping, returns, SLAs, and stock sync—is non-negotiable. 

TT Shop doesn’t care if you’re learning. 

Miss your fulfillment window? You’re getting flagged! 

2. Your listings need to sell WITHOUT a scroll.
 
Clear titles (keyword-optimized, benefit-led).
5+ high-res images.
500+ character descriptions that SELL.

This is your storefront. Optimize it like your life depends on it.

3. You need a bulletproof creator outreach + content system.
 
One-off creator outreach is NOT a strategy.
 
You need:

A CRM to manage collabs.

My number one recommendation (and it's not even close) is Reacher 
Automated follow-ups.
spark ads collection 
etc etc 

Ps - think minimum 200 samples a month for the first 3 months. 

Remember top TikTok Shop creators are the 80/20 of the 80/20!

3 things in life and business that matter WAY MORE than money 💰👇

1. Autonomy - I would take freedom over money basically any day - your time is so much more valuable than you treat it. 

2. Friendship - there’s a crazy stat about males in their 30s and the lack of friends most people have. 

I have felt this in the past but made a concerted effort to push against it! 

3. Who you work with (and why the pic of Parker Kump) 

At Social Commerce Club I have one person that reports to me - Parker. That’s it. 

And TBH he is above my level - pushes me daily and is just a blast to work with. 

I’ve had partners in the past that aren’t at the same level and it is painful. 

If that’s you and a partner - you need to have the hard conversation NOW - it doesn’t get better. ❤️‍🩹 

I will never again work with someone I don’t enjoy and isn’t at my level or above (that included advisory clients) 

Life is too short. 

Btw… do the above and you’ll probably have more than enough money 🤷‍♂️

Ok what’s your thing that’s more valuable than money?

Brands sleeping on TikTok Shop…
Here’s what you need to understand 👇 

1. This is a legitimate channel for legitimate brands. (we should know at Social Commerce Club)

2. 2 out of the top 3 products AOV is above $200 (so you can't see it's just for cheap junk) 

3. Social commerce is the future 

Live shopping 
Creator driven commerce 
Affiliate style commissions 

If you’re on the fence… 

This is your sign

A brand we work with had over 20k affiliate  videos in November alone 👇

There are levels to this stuff on TikTok Shop guys! 

My biggest concern is the lack of amazing agencies out there to fill the massive need. 

I am still wanting to launch a way to help agencies understand how to run this service - DM me if you’re interested or want to know more (also for all of you who have dmed me do it again to get to the top of my inbox lol)

Was off my phone for a week 
No LinkedIn 🔥🔥🔥
Had 37 DMs waiting for me…

3 were from people not pitching me and that I needed to respond to 

What has happened to LinkedIn??

Remember when Saratoga Spring Water Company went viral?? 

A creator posted a hilarious video about their morning routine and it ended with him dunking his face in this water 

They sold out everywhere. 

It’s just water. 

If they can do it… so can you 😆

Because most of you who follow me have great products that people love. 

But what’s the Easiest way to go viral Jordan?? 

Well TikTok Shop of course!! 

This is why I’m obsessed at Social Commerce Club and why the biggest brands in the world are entering the platform. 

Thoughts??

One of my next life goals is to open the Canadian YC - I already have the whole plan built out and it’s WILD 

Canadians are so underrated. 

Canada 🇨🇦 is so underrated

Co-founder at Crustdata (YC F24) | Real-time B2B data for AI Agents

The Canadian YC Mafia has raised more than $919.6M in total funding.

You don't need to move out of Canada to build the next big company.

These YC founders built companies from Canada that operate at a global level. They attracted top talent and sold into international markets without needing to relocate. Location is no longer a constraint. The companies coming out of Canada today prove that world-class outcomes can be built without leaving Canada for the Bay Area.
