Founder & CEO @ Branding Pirates | We are Hiring!

Most outbound dies in the cold.

You send 1,000 emails. 
Get 20 replies. 
Close 2 deals. 

Then wonder why pipeline feels like a slot machine.

Here's what changed everything for me:

- Cold email gets you seen.
- LinkedIn gets you trusted.

When a prospect gets your cold email and Googles you.. what do they find?

A blank profile? Random posts? Nothing

That's where you lose them.

The best outbound teams in 2025 aren't just sending more emails.

They're building a system where: 

→ Smartlead/Instantly.ai handles deliverability 
→ Icypeas and Apollo help find leads via ICP filters
→ Cold email creates the first touch 
→ Taplio and swipe files fuel your content engine 
→ 50 comments/day builds authority in your ICP's feed 
→ LinkedIn converts cold prospects into warm pipeline

I built this roadmap after watching 100s of founders struggle with inconsistent pipeline.

Checkout the roadmap below 👇

If you're running outbound in 2025 and ignoring LinkedIn, you're leaving 60% of your pipeline on the table.

___________

And here are the few creators I love on LinkedIn:

They are dominating in the cold email and inbound industry:

Nick Palasz
Michel Lieben 🧠
Charlie Hills
Manthan Patel
Jeremiah D. Desmarais Forbes Featured
Colin Gallagher

This week, I tested all 7 LinkedIn content formats that actually drive leads.

Here's what works for busy founders who need results, not busywork:

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝟭: 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘀

Best for frameworks and step-by-step processes.

One actionable sentence per item.

𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 𝟯: 𝗥𝗮𝘄 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀

Best for behind-the-scenes thinking and authentic ideas.

Take a photo of your actual notes.
No fancy design needed.

This is how you capture serious buyers.

------------------------------------------------

Your next client is scrolling right now.

Which format are you testing first?

Every founder on LinkedIn be like:
“Building authentic connections.”

Then hits Ctrl + V on what ChatGPT wrote.

Most agency owners treat LinkedIn like a lottery.

Post a lead magnet every other day on Repeat. Then wonder why their DMs are empty...

Here's the 1-page system that actually works:

- BUILD Phase (14 minutes):

--> Tools: 

- Taplio for content ideas. 
- Writesonic for hooks. 
- Reddit, Inc. or other Forums for what's trending. 
- Sheets or Notion for creating a weekly plan.
- Kleo for writing captions and scheduling the posts

--> Research properly: 

Understand the conversations your ICP is having. Watch why trends blow up. Save the exact words they use.

--> RUN Phase (5 workflows):

1. Weekly cheatsheet post (educational)
2. Bi-weekly carousel (educational)
3. Handwritten thought post (personal)
4. Weekly post 1 case study or client win
5. Daily engage with ICPs posts (that is must) 😉

Comment SEND for the post template.

I’ve read 100s of LinkedIn DMs this year.

Most pitches were dead on arrival.

Not because the offer was bad.
Because the opener was lazy.

Here’s the truth:
Personalization means effort.
Dropping a company name isn’t research.

When you lead with a pitch, you kill trust.
Start a conversation, not a transaction.

The patterns are clear:

* “Open to new opportunities” is lazy
* “Quick question” followed by a pitch is a trap
* Copy-paste messages go straight to ignore
* Fake compliments are obvious

Everyone claims a “proven system.”
Nobody cares unless it solves my problem.

If it sounds weird in person, it sounds worse in a DM.

The first line decides your fate.
No automation can fix poor messaging.
Only curiosity can.

Here’s the checklist I use before sending any message:

✅ Do I know what this person actually needs?
✅ Would I say this to them face-to-face?
✅ Does my opener earn a reply?

LinkedIn isn’t your cold email inbox.
It’s a trust platform.

Start acting like it.

Which of these mistakes do you see most often in your DMs?

Most lead gen guy open Sales Navigator and start scrolling.

But we run it like a system. 

And it brings warm leads every week.

Here’s the exact system that we apply:

1. Build smarter lists

Use Company size + Role + Location + Years in role filters.

Add Keywords (current job title + full profile).

Stack Boolean searches to go deep:

Sales AND Director, CEO NOT Assistant, (Marketing AND B2B OR B2C).

2. Let GPT refine your ICP

Paste your ideal customer profile into GPT.

Ask: “Which Sales Navigator filters best match this ICP?”

Then test and adjust your search in seconds instead of hours.

3. Export clean data

Run Evaboot or SalesQL to export leads safely.

Use Findymail or Dropcontact to enrich and verify emails.

Now your CRM is full of qualified, reachable leads.

4. Engage before outreach

Turn on alerts in Sales Nav.

Follow saved leads.

When they post, drop 1 real comment.

Then send an invite with a short note, no pitch.

5. Automate the flow

Push everything into lemlist.

Build multi-channel flows: LinkedIn + email + calls.

Use PhantomBuster for scraping at scale (keep it clean).

6. Add content for proof

Use kelo for post ideas, Writesonic for drafts.

Mix posts with ICP problems.

Your content turns cold leads into warm ones before outreach.

Daily routine
Check alerts
Comment on 10 ICP posts
Send 10 notes
Export & enrich new names
Post or reply once before logging off

This stack runs daily, fills your pipeline, and keeps it human.

Want the full 1-page Sales Navigator System (with visuals and setup steps)?
Comment “NAV” and I’ll send you the cheat sheet.

I watched a founder spend $50K on ads last quarter.

His LinkedIn competitor spent $0 and booked more calls.

Same industry. Same ICP. Completely different approach.

Here's what happened:

𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗔 (𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝘆): 

• Hired 3 sales reps 
• Ran ads for months 
• Spent thousands on lead gen tools 
• Got meetings, but cold leads

𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗕 (𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝘆): 

• Posted on LinkedIn daily for 60 minutes 
• Built trust before the pitch 
• Used his profile as a sales page 
• Booked calls directly from posts

The difference wasn't luck.
It was strategy.

Here's what Founder B understood that most don't:

→ Content works 24/7 (your best sales rep never sleeps) 
→ Community beats cold outreach (trust > interruption) 
→ Every post is a mini billboard (free visibility daily)

His system was simple:

4 story-driven posts a week (with his face, not stock images)
ICP-based outreach sequences (warm, not cold)
Lead magnets in comments (PDFs, cheat sheets that convert)
Data-driven optimization (track impressions → calls → revenue)


Which founder are you building like?
Drop "A" or "B" in the comments.

Most people try to validate ideas by guessing.

I reverse engineer what's already working.

Here's the method that saves me months of wasted effort:

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸:

Find 5-10 successful outcomes in your niche.

Could be viral posts. Could be winning products. Could be campaigns that crushed it.

Now work backwards.

Don't look at what they said. Look at what problem they solved.

Don't copy the execution. Extract the core concept.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀:

Step 1: Collect 5-10 top-performing posts in your space

Use LinkedIn search. Filter by "Top" under posts. Save screenshots.

Step 2: Run this ChatGPT prompt for each one:

"Analyze this post: [paste post]. Ignore the writing style and format. What core human desire or pain point is this addressing? What's the underlying transformation being promised? Give me 3 bullet points."

Step 3: Map the patterns

Open a simple spreadsheet. Column 1: Post link. Column 2: Core desire. Column 3: Promise made.

After 10 posts, you'll see 2-3 desires showing up repeatedly.

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗜 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱:

Found 3 viral posts about "LinkedIn growth hacks."

Different tactics. But ChatGPT revealed same core:
- Desire: Recognition and authority
- Pain: Feeling invisible despite expertise
- Promise: Be seen as the expert you already are

I validated this wasn't about tactics. It was about visibility.

Created my own angle: "How to make algorithms work for you, not against you."

Different execution. Same validated desire.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀:

Successful content isn't successful because of how it's written.

It's successful because it taps into an existing desire that wasn't being addressed clearly.

Your job isn't to create new desires.

It's to find the ones already burning and give them a voice.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆:

1. Pick your niche topic
2. Search LinkedIn for top posts on that topic from the last 30 days
3. Copy 5 of them
4. Run each through this prompt: "Extract the core psychological desire this addresses. What change is the reader seeking? Be specific."
5. Create a simple tally of recurring desires
6. Pick the desire that appears 3+ times
7. Write YOUR version addressing that same desire differently

Look at your top 3 competitors' best work.

Strip away the words, the design, the format.

What's the underlying promise? What transformation are they selling?

That's your validation signal.

If multiple winners share the same core concept, you've found gold.

Now execute it your way.
