I’ve watched outdated SEO strategies die in real time.

The digital graveyard is full of businesses that thought lazy, generic SEO could win.

90% of “professionals” are still playing that losing game.

Do you honestly think you’re different?

Most still build SEO on wishful thinking:
➔ Pick random keywords
➔ Stuff them into useless content
➔ Chase backlinks like desperate attention-seekers

That’s exactly how Strategy B self-destructed.

Here’s how you actually dominate SEO today, and what Strategy A did:

Content & Intent
➔ Educational content solving real market pain points
➔ Surgical alignment with sector-specific search intent

Optimization & Testing
➔ Real-time, data-driven adaptation—not set-and-forget
➔ Technical excellence: site speed, mobile-first, UX
➔ A/B testing like a sniper, not spray-and-pray

Metrics & Authority
➔ Focus on real metrics: traffic, conversions, revenue
➔ Targeted, high-authority links earned intelligently

I use nothing except what delivers measurable, aggressive results.

Strategy A didn’t just beat Strategy B—it obliterated it: 4.2x more traffic, more revenue, more engagement.

Why? It was engineered to annihilate inferiority.

Without precision, relevance, and data, you’re irrelevant.

Your competitors who do invest in these will outpace, out-earn, and erase you.

Strong CTAs help—but strong brands are better.

Make people WANT to buy from you.

Don’t force them.

If your SEO is still on autopilot, you’re not just falling behind—you’re already buried.

The fastest way to kill an agency isn’t bad SEO; it’s hiring people who ‘know SEO.’

Join the top 1% of agency leaders by facing this truth:
Your obsession with “SEO experience” is suffocating your future.

Most agencies cling to experience like a life raft.

They treat it as gospel.

A shortcut to credibility.

But experience has quietly become a straitjacket.

The harder you demand it, the more you guarantee stagnation.

Ask yourself who’s really moving your agency forward: rule-followers, or rule-breakers?

I’ve watched agencies collapse under the weight of “proven” tactics and “seasoned” hires.

Creativity didn’t die.

It was choked out by predictable resumes and recycled solutions.

SEO innovation has never come from playing by the book.

Yet agencies keep hiring carbon copies of their competitors.

That isn’t strategy—it’s delusion.

Here’s the reality:

Experience doesn’t guarantee relevance.

It creates echo chambers.

It filters out the renegades: the ones bold enough to ask, “Why are we still doing this?”

SEO today doesn’t reward mastery of 2012 tactics.

It rewards people who see new patterns and act before consensus forms.

The agencies leading this industry aren’t run by veterans clutching dusty playbooks.

They’re driven by talent with audacity, curiosity, and vision.

This isn’t an argument for ignorance.

Technical skill matters, but only as a foundation.

Without creativity layered on top, it’s useless.

Hire safe, and you’ll rank safe.

And safe is invisible.

Keep demanding “SEO experience required,” and you’ll keep getting substandard work. 

Interchangeable campaigns. Predictable outcomes. Slow decline.

If you want to win, hire people who challenge you.

Who ask better questions instead of reciting old answers.

Break your addiction to experience as a proxy for value, or accept average results.

Because the future belongs to agencies willing to reject the default.

Your move.

Why 'SEO Experience Required' Is Killing Agency Innovation

You think office perks keep talent loyal?

Try locking a strong engineer into an outdated tech stack, then watch how fast the kombucha bar stops mattering.

The modern workplace does not lose top performers because snacks are poorly picked.

It loses them because leaders micromanage tools instead of trusting professionals.

Read that again.

How most teams think retention works:
➔ Free lunches and unlimited coffee
➔ Nap pods and ping-pong tables
➔ Trendy offices with beanbags

How retention actually works:
➔ Real autonomy to choose, test, and deploy the right technology
➔ Zero tolerance for legacy systems that choke creativity
➔ Trust in the people closest to the work to define what drives results

Ask your best developer what matters more: her keyboard or the pizza in the breakroom.

If she’s any good, she’ll dismiss the perks and ask for freedom to use the right tools.

Here’s what tech stack autonomy delivers:
➔ Teams focused on outcomes, not optics
➔ Faster cycles without friction from outdated software
➔ A culture that attracts serious talent
➔ Skill growth that compounds through real problem-solving

You don’t see elite companies leading with office perks.

You see them winning because they invest in adaptable tech and let experts decide what works.

Retention is not about dopamine hits from free stuff.

It’s about respecting intelligence.

Perks often mask deeper dysfunction.

Rigid tools signal control, not stability.

Top performers want environments where they can break, rebuild, and improve their own stack.

Anything less tells them they will be more valuable somewhere else.

If perks are still your retention strategy, competitors are already recruiting your team.

Strong CTAs matter.

But strong brands matter more.

Make people want to work for you.

Don’t try to trap them.

Why Tech Stack Freedom Matters More Than Office Perks

I stopped solely chasing Google rankings years ago and scaled my businesses to seven figures while competitors stayed stuck on the keyword hamster wheel.

Most people still treat traditional SEO like a lifeline.

That’s why growth feels slow, visibility is inconsistent, and progress looks like motion without momentum.

The playbook is outdated, even if it’s familiar.

My domination strategy:
➔ Eliminate dependency on Google
➔ Distribute hyper-targeted content across syndication, affiliates, and dark social
➔ Automate omnipresence so my audience can’t avoid the message

Too aggressive? That’s usually what unqualified marketers say before irrelevance catches up.

Week to week, I’m outpacing competitors by:
➔ Building distribution networks that bypass search entirely
➔ Partnering with affiliates who reach audiences Google never will
➔ Seeding dark social with conversion-first assets that collapse the discovery cycle

Alongside that:
➔ I run automation pipelines that deploy content before rivals even react
➔ I choose syndication channels where brand control is absolute
➔ I use precision micro-distribution that bloated SaaS tools can’t replicate

What worked?

Killing SEO dependency.

No waiting. No link begging. No algorithm worship.

I move faster and command attention while others tweak metadata.

What doesn’t work?

Playing it safe: incremental keyword gains, endless dashboard watching, and hoping rankings turn into momentum.

Anyone still glued to Search Console is ignoring how fast this market moves.

This works because control beats compliance.

I refuse to let an algorithm designed to flatten ambition dictate my growth.

I build distribution that’s automated, precise, and relentless, so omnipresence is engineered, not earned.

Comfort kills scale.

If you want real growth, stop digging through SEO fossils and start building systems that can’t be throttled.

The future belongs to those who own distribution, not those waiting to be ranked.

Most digital marketing teams celebrated today are bloated relics, propped up by outdated thinking.

Everyone wants elite performance, yet almost no one wants to accept what it actually requires.

What I see with top enterprise clients is a very different model.

It is not stacked talent or big personalities.

It is precision, alignment, and results. Nothing else.

Here is where most digital teams fail.

They worship vanity metrics.

They stay busy with meetings, reports, and headcount growth that leads to stagnation.

Their structures mirror yesterday’s failures, not tomorrow’s wins.

They talk about analytics while guessing which levers matter.

Now compare that to what actually works.

I align marketing with sales, product, and customer success so no message conflicts.

Analytics should be foundational, not decorative. Data drives every assignment.

In addition:
➔ Every hire is intentional: there are no “nice-to-have” roles
➔ Roles are built for one clear outcome, not inflated resumes
➔ If a tool or automation does not drive progress, it is not purchased

What worked for me was relentless prioritization.

Teams must be built for impact, not appearance.

Trendy tools without measurable lift are wasted spend.

What never worked was growing teams for ego.

Chasing trends.

Separating marketing from sales and product.

If a team is not aligned around one strategy, one dataset, and one goal, it will fail.

Enterprise environments remove illusions fast.

Discipline and data decide everything. Everything else is noise.

The future belongs to leaders who build marketing teams as strategic weapons, not social clubs.

If you are still running a team built for 2016, the outcome is predictable.

You either define the next decade, or you get outperformed by it.

Watching enterprise websites bleed millions is like seeing a luxury yacht sink while the crew argues over who forgot to plug a hole.

Everyone gawks at digital “giants,” yet few have the guts to fix the mistakes draining revenue.

Right now, 83% of enterprise sites sabotage themselves—ignoring SEO audits and gifting revenue to competitors.

Tomorrow, those who embrace relentless auditing and optimization dominate.

Here’s how I approach it weekly:
➔ Full audits with Screaming Frog & Sitebulb—anything less is amateur hour
➔ Fix broken links, slow pages, outdated metadata before they drain revenue
➔ Mobile optimization checks—59% of search is mobile; ignoring it is malpractice

Beyond that:
➔ Page speed benchmarking—every second costs ~7% conversions
➔ Crawl & indexation analysis with GSC & Ahrefs
➔ Site architecture reviews—duplicate content, buried conversion paths, hidden opportunities

What works? Relentless, unsentimental audits.

What doesn’t? Overpaid agencies or “set-and-forget” in-house teams.

Complacency costs millions.

Why it works for me? Every missed audit is a personal attack on profit.

Numbers dip? I hold the process accountable, not Google.

The data doesn’t lie: 1 second of delay = 7% fewer conversions.

Mobile traffic dominates—fail there, and competitors feast.

No enterprise wins by accident.

The choice is clear:
➔ Audit, optimize, cash in
➔ Or watch market share vanish

Neglect is a choice.

Optimization is a weapon.

Budget won’t save broken processes.

Face the numbers. Confront reality. Do the work.

Your revenue depends on it.

Mistakes Enterprise Websites Should Watch Out For

Your “thought leadership” content isn’t building authority, it’s training your audience to scroll past.

I’ve seen too many enterprise marketing execs cling to their blogs like security blankets, while the audience moves on.

Your blog isn’t building authority.

It’s shouting into a void while people scroll, swipe, and click past.

Long articles, keyword stuffing, “thought leadership”: they’re mostly ignored.

Drop the delusion.

How most teams think engagement works in 2026:
➔ Four blog posts a week for “consistency”
➔ Endless SEO tweaks chasing shrinking search traffic
➔ Bloated articles that vanish after publishing

How engagement actually works:
➔ Data-driven, personalized content based on real audience signals
➔ Interactive video, audio, and immersive formats that stop scrolling
➔ Strategic distribution on channels people actually use

Reality check: over 50% of marketers report declining blog traffic.

Average attention? Less than 60 seconds.

Only 26% see ROI.

Meanwhile, audience-first content drives engagement and conversions up 200%+.

Blogging is the fax machine of marketing: familiar, expensive, ignored.

Every hour spent polishing posts is an hour not building experiences that actually connect.

Stop obsessing over calendars.

Start listening to data.

Build experiences, not posts.

Blogging was a tool.

Adaptive, audience-first content is your advantage.

If your strategy still revolves around publishing more words, you’ve already chosen mediocrity, while competitors build real relationships.

Why We Tell Our Clients to STOP Creating Blog Posts

Every SEO team has a budget and an outcome.

Here’s the truth: only one of these is truly yours.

Competitors can throw money at bloated agencies.

Fill seats with ineffective generalists.

Buy overpriced tools.

Boast about “full-service.”

But they can’t build surgical efficiency.

☑ Budgets Limit
Budgets come from profit constraints, not strategy or boldness.

☑ Outcomes Build Trust
Clients trust teams that deliver traffic, rankings, and revenue—on time, every time.

☑ Outcomes Differentiate
In a world of “big spend, minimal results,” outcomes set you apart.

Why outcomes matter more than budget:
➔ Showcase expertise
➔ Prove real impact
➔ Build credibility
➔ Attract results-focused clients
➔ Create loyalty through performance
➔ Fuel word-of-mouth with execution

Here’s how I focus on outcomes:

Team & Roles
➔ Hire a single full-time SEO lead for clarity, strategy, and cross-team alignment
➔ Use freelancers with deep expertise for high-impact work
➔ Demand role clarity—everyone owns a piece of the result

Tools & Processes
➔ Exploit only tools that matter: Ahrefs Lite, SEMrush Pro, GSC
➔ Cut “nice-to-have” software and vanity spends
➔ Enable cross-functional collaboration with devs, UX, content, and analytics

Learning & Measurement
➔ Rapidly upskill your team with free resources: Google SEO Starter Guide, Moz Academy
➔ Measure every KPI ruthlessly: rankings, organic sessions, revenue per page
➔ Reject the mindset that “budget = success”—brains, discipline, and adaptability drive results

Focusing on outcomes isn’t a tactic.

It’s the bedrock of a performance culture.

Lead with outcomes.

And watch market domination follow.

Building an SEO Team Without a Big Agency Budget

Stop fantasizing that clever slogans or bloated teams will propel you forward. Study the enterprises that win, then reengineer your marketing machinery with laser focus on efficiency and strategic thermonuclear power. Or, stick to your old ways and watch those quarterly reports slide deeper into shameful territory.

There is no magic formula, no shortcut, no fairy tale “hack” to building a world-class SEO team on a budget. There is only strategy, discipline, and the will to act while your competitors waste time and money.

It’s time for some honesty. You do not need a monstrous marketing budget or the razzle-dazzle of agency smoke and mirrors to build an SEO team that cr

It’s not too late to fix this. Shred your editorial calendar and interrogate your data. Ask your customers what they want—every quarter, every campaign, every channel. If your answer is “more blog posts,” you’re asking the wrong people, or you’re lying to yourself.

If you want to shift from bleeding revenue to dominating your sector, the path is simple and merciless: Audit. Fix. Audit again. Only the relentless survive. Only the disciplined thrive.

Are Critical SEO Issues Costing Enterprise Websites Millions?

If you still believe original ideas win markets, you’ve already lost.

The real power belongs to those ruthless enough to rip apart competitor strategies, reconstruct them with brutal efficiency, and then weaponize automation to dominate at scale.

The CEOs clinging to “innovation first” are simply donating market share to the cunning operators who treat competitor intelligence as the only path to victory.

Are you building your business on naive optimism or unforgiving reality?

Who wins the future: original “innovators,” or tacticians who dissect, replicate, and automate competitors until nothing is left to steal?

You can chase the ghost of “adequate SEO,” comfort yourself with pointless dashboards, and watch your competitors suffocate you in the SERPs.

Or you can build a program so empirically sound, so viciously focused, that 4.2x isn’t your ceiling—it’s your starting point. It’s not about working harder. It’s about being too precise, too ruthless, and too relentless for anyone else to keep up.

I don't let my team work from home,
they get very lazy.
 
That’s the biggest myth ever.
 
I run a team of 12+ people.
They all work from home.
 
And are way more productive
than 95% of in-office teams.
 
I've seen the same
with 100+ agencies.
 
So if someone is slacking,
the problem isn't "remote work".
 
It's most likely:
 
- WHO you hired
- HOW you manage them
- HOW you track progress + time
 
Lazy people will be
lazy anywhere.
 
Whether it's office or home,
they’ll always do bare minimum.
 
So the key is NOT WHERE they work.
It's WHO you hire.
 
And most importantly,
HOW you manage them.

How I got 1,067 leads with AI cold emails
 
(In just 6 months)
 
Here's how It works:
 
This is NOT a mass spam
cold email system.
 
It’s personalized.
Automated.
Scalable.
 
And it runs with just
30mins/day of your time.
 
Step 1: Find the right leads,
using AI + automations.
 
We start by sourcing leads using:
 
→ Apollo
→ LinkedIn Sales Navigator
→ n8n Custom Sourcing Flows
 
This part alone used to take
hours when I did it manually.
 
Now we scrape, verify, and clean
the data with automations
before we use it.
 
Step 2: Personalize emails at scale with AI
 
Once we have the leads...
 
→ We use Clay to scan each
lead’s website or LinkedIn.
 
→ It writes a custom compliment
for every single one
 
→ Using AI + prompts we designed
to sound human and relevant
 
Step 3: Automate sending with AI
 
We use Instantly AI to:
 
→ Run campaigns + follow-ups on autopilot
→ Handle replies automatically
→ Track opens, CTRs and replies
→ And take out negative reply leads.
 
Step 4: Qualify leads before calls
 
→ When a lead books a call,
they go through a custom funnel
 
→ Fill out a form to qualify themselves
 
→ Only high-quality leads
get on our calendar
 
The rest of the leads?
 
→Our sales team calls to send them
more info and see how we can help.
 
Step 5: Delegate once it’s working
 
Once the system ran smoothly,
I handed it off to a cold email manager.
 
And now it runs without me,
While I focus on other areas.

How I got 1,067 leads with AI cold emails.

I don’t give raises to my team.

If they want more, they can leave.

That’s the dumbest take ever.

But still, a lot of managers hate giving raises.

They think it’s a waste of money.
Or that people should just "be grateful to have a job".

But that’s not how it works.

People should be paid for the value they bring,
not for how long they’ve been around.

If someone’s impact grows,
their paycheck should grow too.

Good people don’t leave because they’re lazy.
They leave because they feel stuck and not valued.

When you reward growth,
you're not just keeping "great people".

You're pushing the whole business forward.

P.S. When do you think someone should get a raise?

I DON'T care about "employee happiness".
 
I care about employee usefulness.
 
That way of thinking is stupid.
But a lot of managers really think that.
 
They believe only "output" matters.
 
But here's the thing:
 
You can't have a productive
team if people hate
working for you.
 
The truth is simple:
 
People do their best work
when they feel:
 
- Trusted
- Respected
- And taken seriously.
 
Team morale is not a "nice to have".
It's the foundation to everything else.

I haven't cooked or cleaned my house in years.
 
My partner doesn't mind.
 
Here's why...
 
For years, I've seen 100s of founders
waste 21+ hrs/wk on house chores.
 
I used to do the same.
Until I realized it was slowing me down.
 
Now?
 
Everything at home runs
without me or my partner.
 
Because we hired and trained a chef/housekeeper
with a SOP we've perfected over 6+ years.
 
And now, she handles meals, cleaning, laundry...
While we get back 21+ hours every week.
 
Inside this SOP, you’ll find:
 
👉 Hiring templates to get top candidates
👉 Test tasks and interview scripts
👉 Full SOP for ALL house chores
👉 How to set up pay + coms
👉 Onboarding checklists
 
It’s not about being lazy.
It’s about getting back your time.
And using it to grow your business.
And putting it on more important things.

I don't hire assistants anymore.
 
They're a waste of time & money.
 
That’s the dumbest take ever...
But I still hear it from many founders.
 
I used to think I could do everything myself.
That I "didn't need help".
 
But it kept me stuck for years
because I wasted 100s of
hours on admin tasks.
 
Now, I run a 7-figure business,
and it's just because I removed myself.
 
Everything is delegated,
and it all started with my Personal Assistant.
 
So, I spent 20h condensing years of experience
with Executive & Personal Assistants...
 
Into a massive SOP + whiteboard with:
 
👉 Full Job post templates
👉 Screening scripts & test tasks
👉 Daily task management system 
👉 Offer and onboarding checklists
👉 Interview questions & scoring sheets
👉 And everything to hire & manage a PA/EA.
 
So you can:
 
✅ Delegate inbox, scheduling & distractions
✅ Free up your time from low value tasks
✅ Focus on scaling your biz instead
 
Want it?

I fire people on their first big mistake.

If they mess up once, they'll do it again.

That’s the dumbest take ever.

Because 95% of the time...
The first mistake isn’t a character flaw,
It’s a training gap.

The real problem are people who:

- Never make mistakes (because they do nothing)
- Make the same mistakes repeatedly
- Don't learn from feedback
- Or blame others

Here’s how I see it now:

1st big mistake → Training opportunity
2nd repeated big mistake → Serious talk to fix root cause
3rd repeated big mistake → Friendly let go

And every time something goes wrong,
I ask myself first:

Did I help them address the root issue?
Did I set clear expectations?
Did I give proper training?
Did the system fail?

Because here’s the truth:

99% of “people problems” are actually system problems.
Most managers just don’t want to admit it.

Agree?

This is how I started my business.
 
People used to laugh at me for it.
 
But it's all I had when I started...
 
Two suitcases,
a shaky IKEA table,
and an old MacBook.
 
No mic.
No big screens.
No comfortable chair.
 
But... it was enough to
hit my first $10K/month,
and build the foundation.
 
Today, I run a 7-figure biz
and the biggest lesson
I got from those years is this:
 
Success doesn’t come from a "cool office".
It comes from WHO you are.
And WHAT you do.
 
Specially when no one believes in you,
and nothing seems to be working.
 
So if you're in that season:
 
Don’t compare your chapter 1
to someone else’s chapter 20.
 
Keep going.
And keep working.
 
Your time will come.

I get 100s of leads/week with viral LinkedIn posts.
 
Now I'm giving you my system for free.👇
 
I studied 100+ viral B2B giveaways for 3 weeks.
 
- Breaking down their copy
- Analyzing their creatives
- Creating viral templates
 
And I collected ALL of them
inside a MASSIVE database with:
 
👉 All original visuals included:
GIFs, videos, and images
 
👉 B2B niche filters to sort by
agencies, consulting, and more
 
👉 Fill-in-the-blank templates
from posts with 5,000+ comments
 
👉 Resource type filters for PDFs,
whiteboards, spreadsheets, etc
 
👉 Engagement filters to sort posts
from <500 to 10,000+ comments
 
So you can:
 
✅ Steal the best creatives
✅ Copy the best resources
✅ And use their post templates
 
While avoiding wasting 100s of hours:
 
❌ Creating giveaway posts with 0 comments
❌ And figuring out how to go viral
 
Just:
 
1 - Open the database
2 - Pick a post
3 - Model it
4 - Get 100s of leads

Getting clients from LinkedIn in 2026 will be impossible for agencies and consultants.
 
(At least if you do it the old 2023-2025 way)
 
Here's why...
 
I booked 235+ sales calls
last year just from LinkedIn.
 
BUT... doing the complete
opposite to most people:
 
Before, I used to spend my days
doing manual outreach and content.
 
Everything depended on me.
My work, my time.
 
Now, I don't even touch my DMs.
I barely spend time on content.
 
But I get 10x more leads because
I created a system that does the
heavy lifting for me.
 
The secret?
 
We used AI + automations
and delegated key specific parts
so we could book 10x more calls.
(With 50% less time and work)
 
130+ agencies are using this system,
with some even closing $20K
in just ONE week.
 
So, I spent 20+ hours creating
a massive whiteboard with:
 
👉 All our automation tools
👉 Our entire sales process
👉 Our exact outreach scripts
👉 How to use AI to get more leads.
 
Everything you need from A-Z
to make 2026 your best $$$ year.
 
⚠️ This system is so effective
some of our clients couldn't even
handle the amount of leads they got...
 
So don't use this if your operations
aren't prepared to handle the work.
 
Otherwise, just:
 
Comment "SALES"
and I’ll send it to you!
 
(We must be connected first)

Stop saying “2026 will be my year.”
 
It won’t be.
 
Not unless you change this... 👇
 
Every year I see the same pattern:
 
- Smart founders
- With big goals
- Working 14h days
 
But... still stuck in the same
spot they were 12 months ago.
 
Not because they don’t work hard.
But because they work the same way.
 
More hours.
More manual work.
More “I’ll do it myself.”
 
The founders I’ve helped scale past
$100K, $300K, $500K+ a month
didn’t focus on working more.
 
They created LEVERAGE:
 
- They built better systems.
- They used AI and automations.
- And built teams of real A-players.
 
So if you really want to
make 2026 your year...
 
Don't focus on doing more.
Focus on leveraging more.
 
Otherwise nothing will change.

I started my business at 8 years old.
 
With my mum, at our local library.
 
(Just not in the way that you might think)
 
Here's why...
 
I grew up in the German countryside,
and we didn't have much money.
 
My parents were very hard workers.
But we had no extra cash for luxuries.
 
Still, my mom understood
something most people don't:
 
You don't need money to
give your kids a chance.
 
You just need the right habits.
 
So every week, she took my brother
and me to the local library...
 
She'd read with us in the evenings...
And made stories come alive.
 
I didn't know it back then...
But that library wasn't just about books.
 
It was about planting something deeper:
 
- A passion for learning.
 
And that one habit is what built
my 7-figure business decades later.
 
Not the books themselves.
But the curiosity they created.
That she created.
 
That's why I say I started my
business back then with her.
 
Because without that library,
it would have taken way longer
to hit all my goals.

This client paid agency $2k/mo for 6 months.
 
Their site wasn’t even indexed on Google...

That's what Jeff discovered after landing this new client.

Most agencies stop reaching out when they hear:

“We already have someone.”

But that’s exactly when you should keep going.

Because in many cases,
that “someone” isn’t doing things right.

But... the client doesn’t know it.

That’s why we always follow up.

Not to spam.
But to add value.

A simple Loom with free value can change everything.

It builds trust, shows expertise,
and proves you actually care about results.

Follow up with value.
That’s the whole game.

He didn’t close any clients.
 
Yet he's making 2x the money. 👇
 
Before:
 
- He got €2.5K for 2 clients
 
Now:
 
- He gets ~€4K for the same work.
 
The only thing that changed?
The commission bonus.
 
Most agencies underprice by default.
 
Flat retainers.
And limited upside.
(Even when results are strong)
 
But this 2x rev increase happened without:
 
- New hires
- New leads
- Or more hours
 
Just smarter deal structure.
 
If he delivers results,
he gets paid more.
 
That's how it should always be.

He used to book NO calls from LinkedIn.
 
Now, he books 2 calls/week on autopilot.
 
Here's how...
 
Before working with us,
Dominik was doing everything alone.
 
- No team.
- No systems.
- No delegation.
 
He couldn't scale his agency
because he had zero leverage.
 
But now:
 
✅ His DM setter booked 2 calls last week
✅ Holiday break worked seamlessly
✅ Delegated 95% of feedback work
✅ His PA hired a VA on her own
 
This is what happens when
you stop being the bottleneck...
 
And you build the right structure
to scale while cutting your time down.
 
You don't just get leads.
You get your time back.
And your agency scales without you.

My biggest weakness is not quitting.
 
Even when everything says I should.
 
Most people fail because they quit too early.
 
They try something for 2 weeks.
It gets uncomfortable.
They jump to the next shiny thing.
 
I have the opposite problem.
 
I stay too long.
I grind even harder.
And I try to push through.
 
Even when the market shifts.
Even when the strategy stops working.
Even when the numbers clearly say: pivot.
 
That’s the downside of being disciplined.
 
Consistency can turn into a disadvantage.
And persistence turns into stubbornness.
 
And I see the same with agency owners.
 
Some quit too fast,
and never give anything a real chance.
 
Others stick too long,
and waste months on dead strategies.
 
The skill is knowing the difference.
 
Persistence is staying with a proven system
long enough for it to compound.
 
Stubbornness is ignoring data
because your ego is attached to the method.
 
I’ve wasted years because of that.
 
Not because I lacked effort.
But because I lacked perspective.
 
The fix wasn’t more work.
It was my lack of awareness.
Of outside help and perspective.
 
Someone who could have said:
 
“This worked before,
but it doesn’t anymore. Change it.”
 
That’s what mentors are really for.
 
Not just telling you what to do.
But telling you when to stop.
And when to go again.
 
Know your strengths.
Know your blind spots.
 
And don’t try to fix both alone.
It will save you years of work.

Our clients closed $393k last year just from LinkedIn.
 
Here's why most agencies can't do the same:
 
1 - Your offer is too generic
 
Bad:
 
"We help online stores grow with ads."
 
Good:
 
"We help 7-figure DTC eCom brands scale to 8-figures with AI UGC ads"
 
Why?
 
- Generic offers get ignored
- Specific offers attract serious buyers
- High ticket clients pay for expertise, not vague services
 
2 - Your messaging is confusing
 
Bad:
 
"We do marketing, branding, and lead gen."
 
Good:
 
"We help 7 figure eCom brands increase LTV by 30%+ through retention marketing."
 
Why?
 
- If your message is not clear, they won't buy
 
The fix:
 
- Simplify
- Niche down
- Clarify how you get results
 
3 - You have no unique mechanism
 
Bad:
 
"We scale brands with Facebook ads."
 
Good:
 
"We use our AI optimized Conversion Amplifier to triple ROAS in 60 days."
 
Why?
 
- Everyone sells ads
- Everyone sells “growth”
- Everyone looks the same.
 
A mechanism makes you stand out,
and helps you justify higher prices.
 
The fix:
 
Position yourself like an authority.
Not a commodity.
 
- Dial in your offer
- Simplify your messaging
- Build a unique mechanism
- Send DMs that actually convert
 
Don't be just another agency.

How to close more deals from LinkedIn

You don't need school to make money.
 
I made €50 in a day at 8 years old.
 
Is that crazy money?
Of course not.
 
But here's my point...
 
Growing up in the German countryside,
we had cherry trees on our property.
 
One summer, my brother and I
spent days picking cherries.
 
We filled bucket after bucket.
 
Then some tourists from Munich
drove through our village.
 
We saw an opportunity.
And walked up to them
to pitch our cherries.
 
"High quality, freshly picked.
Better than anything in the city."
 
They bought a full bucket for €50.
(Yes, they really liked cherries. lol)
 
We split the money.
And I remember thinking:
 
"Wait... I can make money
by offering valuable things to people?"
 
That was my first real business lesson.
 
Not from school.
Not from a course.
But from actually doing it.
 
Most people wait until they're "ready" to start.
 
They wait for the perfect offer.
The perfect setup.
The perfect time.
 
But success in your business doesn't
come when you feel ready.
 
It starts when you see a problem
and decide to solve it.
 
Even if you're 8 years old
with a bucket of cherries...
 
Results don't come from school,
books or courses.
 
They come from DOING.

How would you handle this on a call? 👇
 
"I've worked with other agencies before…
I'm not sure you can get me results."
 
You know how it goes...
 
An uncomfortable silence kicks on the call.
 
You freeze.
Trying to think what to say.
But nothing good comes to your mind.
 
You try to push through.
Showing him case studies.
Dropping the names of other big clients you’ve worked with.
 
Trying to convince them that you’re different.
That you can deliver.
 
But deep down...
You’re not sure if it’s working.
 
Then it happens.
They hit you with the good old:
 
"Let me think about it..."
 
You hang up... 
Hoping they'll reach out.
 
But days and weeks go by... 
And you never hear anything again.
 
Another sale lost.
Another hit to your confidence.
  
We’ve all been there…
But here’s the truth:
 
You don’t get a second chance with these big clients.
 
If they are not 100% certain after talking to you?
 
They’re gone.
 
They don’t care if you’re nervous.
Uncomfortable.
Or if you hate sales calls.
 
They only care about results.
 
It doesn’t matter if you’re the best agency out there.
 
If you can’t close calls like that...
You’re leaving money on the table.
 
And for a lot of agency owners...
That’s the biggest bottleneck.
 
They’re great at what they do...
But they struggle to:
 
- Communicate the value of their offer.
- And handle objections on the phone.
 
That’s why I uploaded a full mastermind recording of our sales training...
 
Where I go over the same system that helped clients like Kyle...
 
Close over $20,000 in recurring revenue in just 60 days.

- Kilian

He used to get ZERO leads from LinkedIn.
 
Now, he gets multiple each day. 👇
 
Just these 2 weeks, he got:
 
- 2 calls booked last week
- 3 more calls for this week
- 1 (or more) positive replies/day
- And his first inbound content leads
 
Before, his outreach went nowhere.
 
- No replies.
- No leads.
- No calls.
 
He would send tons of messages,
emails, and connections...
 
Only to get zero replies,
or get rejected.
 
But once he plugged our agency
lead gen system on his profile...
 
It only took him a couple of weeks
to start getting leads for his agency.
 
So if you're trying to figure LinkedIn out,
but you're still not booking enough calls...
 
Just remember:
 
Outreach works.
But only if you do it right.
 
Once you get that down,
the rest is easy.
