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.

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

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.

2. Comment "WEAPON" below

I will DM you the full 7-figure sales doc.

P.S. We must be connected, otherwise LinkedIn blocks the message.

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?

1. Connect with me 
2. Comment "VAULT"

I'll DM it straight to you.

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

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

comment "SWIPE" below and I'll send it 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:

1. my Gemini 3.0 DM Writing GPT (worth $497), the exact system behind $5M in agency revenue. 

2. my 30-day LinkedIn Speed Run guide ($297 value), the day-by-day playbook to go from zero to inbound machine

Founder/Growth CMO🚀 • Growth Advisor • 300M+ € Sales Generated in Europe • On a Mission to Scale Profitably

No alternative text description for this image

6 years ago, I was working with a founder from Sweden who already understood the:

CAC: Contribution margin 90-day ratio.

What an early adopter 🧠

So I was running Meta ads, and the target CAC was set based on the projected contribution margin from Lifetimely data.

Result: Superscale

Going from 0 to 12 Mio € in 14 months.

We beat the competition and took a significant market share.

No one in my circle was looking at profitability and acquisition this way back then.

Now, this is becoming the norm.

I love seeing how the game changes and how early adopters disrupt the market.

My 5 main learnings from my entrepreneurial journey: 
1) If you want to go far, don't go alone 
2) You will never be as smart as someone's experience 
3) Follow your passions but stay flexible 
4) Take some time off 
5) You will have to re-invent yourself multiple times on your journey 
 
I am grateful for everything that I am learning every single day and how I am getting better. 
 
What was your biggest learning so far?

Revenue feeds your ego. 
 
Profit feeds your business. 
 
Don't be blinded by revenue numbers and focus on profit because it is way better. 
 
It applies to the ECOM brands. 
 
It applies to any business. 
 
Remember that and grow profitably. ✌️ 
 
Have a good week.

Do less & do it better.

My mentor told me this, and I took it to heart. Focusing on things that work and doing more of them.

Forgetting about everything else.

Been scaling ever since 🚀

Underrated marketing tactic 💡 
 
Analyzing your competitors. 
 
Understand their: 
- Angles 
- Offers 
- Creative approaches 
- CRO tactics 
- Acquisition strategy 
- Retention flow 
 
Do the analysis at least bi-weekly. 
 
This can save you: 
- Time 
- Money 
- A lot of resources

Your Facebook ads won't work if: 
- your product is 💩 
- you have a broken business model 
- you have really bad reviews and an NPS score 
- you ignore creative strategy 
- you think the next media buying hack is going to save your poor performance 
- you are not constantly creating new content 
- if you are not systematically testing and just throwing spaghetti at the wall 
- you are not trying to improve things outside the ads manager 
 
What else is missing?

Quick scenario for e-commerce founders 👇

You’re doing €3–5M/year in revenue.

Meta is still working, but:
> CAC is creeping up
> Creative fatigue hits faster every month
> Scaling spend doesn’t scale profit

You have €150k to invest this quarter.

What do you do?
A️⃣ Hire an in-house performance marketer
B️⃣ Double down on creative production
C️⃣ Invest in retention (email, SMS, CRO)
D️⃣ Expand to a new channel or market
E️⃣ Fix unit economics before scaling further

There’s no “right” answer — but your choice says a lot about how you think about growth.

I’ve seen brands win (and lose) with every option above.

Curious — which one would you choose and why? 👇

Following the blended ROAS will slow down your (profitable) growth.

Still, most founders don’t know their:

- new customers(NC) ROAS, CAC, contribution margin per order, and AOV

- returning customers(RC) ROAS, CAC, contribution margin per order, and AOV

- CAC: Contribution margin 90-day ratio

These are crucial for profitable scaling.

9/10 times, when we launch whitelisting (partnership) ads on an account, they outperform everything else.

Different niches. Different budgets. Same outcome.

We combine:
- Different following sizes
- Different personas
- Content formats
- Copy angles

Been working especially well for acquiring new customers.

Not a hack — just how trust scales in paid media.

Use that insight however you want.

How Meta’s Andromeda changes quietly killed old e-commerce playbooks

If your Meta performance feels less predictable than 2–3 years ago, you’re not imagining it.

The Andromeda update changed how Meta decides what scales — and what dies.

Here’s what most brands still don’t fully understand 👇

Before Andromeda:
- Media buyers “controlled” performance
- Small tweaks = measurable improvements
- Structure > creative
- Winning audiences could scale for months

After Andromeda:
+ Meta optimizes at the system level
+ Structure matters less, signals & diversity matter more
+ Creative quality beats targeting hacks
+ Learning phases punish weak inputs fast

In simple terms:
👉 Meta stopped rewarding media buying tricks
👉 Meta started rewarding real businesses with strong signals

What actually wins now:
✅ High-volume, high-quality creative
✅ Clear product-market fit
✅ Clean conversion signals (AOV, CVR, retention)
✅ Fewer, stronger campaigns — not 50 ad sets
✅ Patience through learning instead of constant “fixing”

The brands struggling most?

Those still trying to:
- Out-structure the algorithm
- Force scale with budget instead of personas, angles, offers
- Blame Meta instead of fixing the business

The brands scaling?

They treat Meta as:
+ a demand amplifier — not a demand creator.

Meta didn’t break e-commerce.

It exposed weak systems.

If you’re running Meta right now, what changed the most for your brand since Andromeda?

What separates brands that scale past €10M vs those that plateau

After 11+ years in e-commerce, here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most brands don’t stall because of traffic or ads.

They stall because the business stops evolving.

Here’s what I consistently see 👇

Brands that plateau at €2–5M:
- Chase ROAS instead of contribution margin
- Rely on 1 channel (usually Meta)
- Optimize ads, but ignore retention
- Make decisions based on “what worked last year”
- Founders are still in execution mode, not leadership mode

Brands that break past €10M:
+ Know their true numbers (LTV, CAC payback, margin by channel)
+ Build systems, not hacks
+ Treat creative as a growth engine, not an afterthought
+ Invest early in retention (email, SMS, repeat purchase)
+ Founders shift from “doing” → “designing the machine”

The biggest difference?

€10M brands stop asking:
👉 “How do we get cheaper clicks?”

And start asking:
👉 “How do we build a business that compounds?”

That’s when growth stops being fragile — and starts being scalable.

If you’re stuck in the €1–5M range and feel like you’re pushing harder every month for the same results, it’s usually not a marketing problem.

It’s a system problem.

Curious — what do you see as the biggest blocker to scaling right now?

Why is January rough for acquiring new customers?

A) Zero gifting pressure
This shifts customers into:
“Do I really need this today?” territory

B) Financial recovery period
After holidays:
- credit card bills hit
- less discretionary spending
- paycheck cycle mid-month matters more
- people delay non-urgent purchases

C) No urgent problems to solve
January consumer problems are:
- health
- self-development
- weight loss
- gym
- organization
- supplements

If you are one of them, HAPPY SCALING 🚀

For the rest of you, here are some options:
> Explore new messaging 
Self-Improvement, Fresh Start trigger, Replacement Cycle

> Craft new exclusive (bigger) bundles 
Because they convert the rational brain:
“This makes logical sense. I’ll save now and stock up”

> Attach product to a Goal for the customers set for themselves
Speak about how the product is going to help them reach their goals faster, better 
  
> Creative Refresh
January requires different creative than Q4

> Reallocate Budget & focus
Shift away from aggressive broad acquisition campaigns (for 2–4 weeks). Shift towards returning customers via Email/SMS, and you may also include them in your ads

Not all the budget, just part of it that is higher then ussual.

These are common Q1 optimization rhythms for DTC.

For my brand, we already made some adjustments:
📈 better offers for acquisition
📈 exclusive offers for retention
📈 messaging angles
📈 creative testing
📈 scaling tactics
📈 gathering social proof

.. and it works!

What else is missing from the January DTC survival guide? ;)

I never forgot the words from a HubSpot speaker on Web Summit…

It was 2017, and I was attending my first international event with my friends.

From all the speeches, something stuck with me more than anything else.

It was about how the investment between buying advertising space vs. the creative production switched on TV 📺 

First it was just about being on TV being enough, even with the 💩 creative. The more time passed, the more brands needed to invest to be relevant and effective on the platform.

“And on social media, it will be the same.”

And it was Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Pinterest, YouTube, TikTok, etc.

>> The more mature it gets, the bigger the role creative plays. 

I sadly don’t know the name of this guy, but this fact changed the path of my career.

Since then, I always prioritized CREATIVE as the needle-mover to success.

What I did then:
> internal studio
> external shooting teams 
> Influencers
> Content creators
> Employee-generated content
> Customer-generated content
> Namings and analytics for measurement
> Creative sprints
> Hire more internal people to content department

We invested more in creatives, and we got better results every time.

 8,5 years later, this mindset still works, but the methods are evolving.

Most e-commerce brands obsess over ROAS & CPC.

But there’s one leading indicator of sustainable scale that almost no one talks about:

👉 CAC payback period by product and by channel.

Here’s what I see in successful brands:
• It’s tracked weekly
• It drives budgeting decisions, not “gut”
• It predicts scaling viability before traditional KPIs

If your CAC payback is trending up — even with good ROAS — that’s a red flag.

A good rule of thumb:
If you can’t pay back CAC within 30 days, the margin gets fragile real fast.

Curious —Do you track payback period weekly or monthly?

What’s your current payback trend telling you? 👇
