CEOs: Broken pipeline & poor performer sales reps? I fix both for you in <60 days. You’ll hate how fast it works. | Modern Seller Program Founder

Your ability to book meetings, negotiate, and close deals with potential clients will determine how far you’ll thrive as a sales rep and leader.

This will allow you to:

📈 Build a career
📈 Hit your quotas
📈 Get recognition
📈 Get a promotion
📈 Get better offers
📈 Land sponsorships

However, booking meetings and closing deals it’s harder than ever:

❌ Prospects don’t return your calls
❌ Prospects don’t stop ghosting you
❌ Prospects don’t answer your emails
❌ Prospects don’t trust you as a seller
❌ Prospects don’t believe in your offer 
❌ Prospects don’t accept your LinkedIn Invite

All of these makes you feel miserable

You feel your manager’s pressure on your shoulder

And you start thinking that sales might not be for you.

Do you relate with this? Because I do - I’ve been there

This happens because the “old way” of doing sales doesn’t work anymore.

Sending 1000s of generic emails and praying they get back to you will kill your sales career.

Now, imagine having a proven system that allows you to systematically:

✅ Book more meetings
✅ Handle all the objections
✅ Move deals through the pipe
✅ Close higher tickets in less time
✅ Run discovery and demo calls like a pro

And, hitting your sales quota.

Wouldn't this be the scenario you would like to be in?

The good news - I can help you get there with:

➝ My weekly Newsletter with actionable sales tactics
➝ My daily sales practical examples in my Content
➝ My sales personalized program
➝ My 1-on-1 Coaching Sessions
➝ My team Coaching Sessions

Now, how serious are you about building your Sales Career?

Let's make it happen.

A weekly email focused on the evolution of Startups, Sales, and SaaS. A fun and human voice. Everything you need to know in less than 5 minutes. No BS.

83% of SDR activity creates zero pipeline.
These are the 5 differences between average and top SDRs:

Average SDR (still stuck in 2019):

– Builds lists manually
– Prioritizes by “who hasn’t been touched”
– Sends 150 emails a day
– Tracks activity, not outcomes

Calendar = luck.

Best-in-Class SDR (2026):

– Prioritizes real buying signals
– Uses AI to surface hiring, funding, exec moves, tech shifts
– Automates enrichment
– Focuses on the 20% most likely to convert
– Spends 70% of the day in live conversations

I apply the 5–25–70 Signal Framework with my clients using Enginy

5% of your TAM is in active buying motion.
25% show early signals.
70% of your time should be spent selling.

Teams that operate this way are seeing:

→ +46% higher meeting rates
→ +32% faster sales cycles
→ Cleaner forecasts
→ Lower SDR burnout

Because AI isn’t replacing reps.

It’s replacing guessing.

That’s why platforms like Enginy matter.

Not another sequence tool.

An intelligence layer that tells you:

- “This account is heating up.”
- “This one just triggered.”
- “Call this one first.”

The future SDR isn’t the hardest worker.

It’s the smartest prioritizer.

Are you a 2019 or 2026 model? (Be honest 😶)

Helping Agency Owners & B2B Founders close 2-10 clients on Linkedin in the next 180 days (Or You Don't Pay).

Behind-the-scenes helping founders/execs build pipeline, authority and close deals on Linkedin.

Naim Ahmed

Had a chat with a Linkedin creator with 13,000 followers and 100s of likes on his posts...

We went back & forth in the DMs and I asked him: "how many calls you booking for your agency on Linkedin?"

His answer: 0

"How much revenue generated from your content?"

His answer: 0

All his likes were from peers, pods and other marketers.

He had no systems to turn his followers into calls.

A few days later I had a catch up with an old client

He has way less followers, way less likes.

He told me he’d made $15k that week, alone.

Getting likes & getting paid are 2 COMPLETELY different skill-sets.

P.S. Most of my clients like Umair, Noah, Nicolas and many more ALL have audiences on the smaller side but book calls consistently. Living proof it’s not your follower count holding you back. It’s your sales system.

We’ve booked 476 sales calls using LinkedIn DMs…

Doing the opposite of what "gurus" teach...

Most people have a "buy-or-die" mentality.

They want you to BOOK A CALL NOW.

If you don't, they forget about you.

And, move on to the next target.

Instead, I play the long-game.

If you're a good fit, but don't book a call...

That's cool, I'll just

- Send you valuable resources
- Add value/help for free in the DMs
- Connect with you with people I know
- Add so much value you WANT to work with me

This helps me book calls WEEKS/MONTHS after 1st touch.

Playing the long-game is the secret.

One of my clients is getting the most engagement he's ever gotten on Linkedin.

The funny thing is...

11k impressions is actually low when you compare it to 100k+ impressions screenshots gurus share.

However, there is a BIG difference here.

My clients impressions are HIGH QUALITY views from HIGH QUALITY prospects.

8 and 9 figure eCom founders are seeing his posts regularly and engaging.

He's posting niche insights about eCom that make his expertise undeniable.

He's NOT going viral with stories about his cat.

He's NOT spamming giveaways every day.

He's building real authority.

That's why he's winning.

Linkedin outbound tip:

If you're sending automated outreach, your goal is NOT to trick people into thinking you sent it manually.

Your goal is to make the message/offer so good that they DON'T CARE if it's automated or not.

Prospects respond because they WANT that you have.

Offer > Fake Personalisation.

Day 1 on Linkedin? Here’s what I’d focus on:

1. Study competitors & observe what’s working
2. Send some connections to your ICP
3. Start conversations daily 5 with ICP & 2 with peers

No engagement pods. No 100 comments a day. No 2 posts a day.

Study what content performs and take notes.

Think about how you could things better/differently.

Then, connect with a few prospects and shoot some DMs.

Get used to reaching out to decision makers via chat.

Network with creators and build a relationship or two.

This'll give you a foundation, now you can start posting and sky is your limit.

Posting on Linkedin = Trust at scale

Engaging with your ICP = Trust at less scale

Talking 1-1 in the DMs = High trust low scale

Now, imagine you do all 3 to prospects.

First you post content and show up on their feed...

Then, you show up in their comments...

Then, you start a natural/relevant conversation.

Imagine the trust you build before selling anything.

This is the power of social selling.

Founders pay me $2500 to ask "Naim, how do I get more inbound leads?". 

Here's what I tell them:

It's not:

- Engaging more (although it helps)
- Being consistent (although it helps)
- Copywriting skills (although it helps)

Usually, I'd boil it down to ONE thing.

- Over-index on sharing social proof.
- Share a disgusting amount.
- In almost EVERY post

2 things you can do today:

1. Go back and screenshot every bit of good feedback you’ve gotten from a client. Every win, big or small, can be Slack, Whatsapp, emails and turn that into content on Linkedin.

2. Show people examples of your work. If you design websites, share your designs. If you write copy, share your copy. If you help with accounting share how you're saving people money.

Don't expect people to understand your value.

SHOW THEM.

That's how you build REAL authority.

Employee Generated Content is the BIG opportunity in 2026.

I’ve been working with orgs on this since late 2024 and it’s only getting bigger.

Just imagine you’re able to build multiple personal brands across your whole executive team.

. CEO generating thousands of impressions.
. CMO/CSO generating thousands of impressions.
. VP Marketing generating thousands of impressions.

All building influence and promoting the company.

. CEO shares strategies & the journey.
. CMO shares marketing behind-the-scenes.
. Sales director talks sales process optimisation.

Collectively you can easily break 50-100k impressions a week.

On the backend you can monetize in multiple ways...

For example, each c-suite exec could promote a singular bi-monthly webinar and all content from Linkedin could be pushed here.

Imagine the sheer number of prospects you could attract.

The amount of pipeline you could drive.

The amount of demos you’d book.

All for free.

This is the future.

If I was a CMO/VP of a b2b company and was asked to build MASS pipeline from Linkedin, here’s what I’d do:

I would NOT pay Linkedin influencers.

I would activate my team instead.

Yes, you can pay influencers extortionate amounts of money for a post or 2.

And, that does work (when done properly).

BUUUT…

Your team is already on pay-roll.

They already know your product.

You don’t have to pay them for every post.

It’s in THEIR best interests to post here.

LEVERAGE BABY.

Say 10 people at the company start posting 3 times a week.

Say they average 2000 impressions a week each.

That’s 80,000 impressions for free every month.

With the right strategy (and me in your corner) we can get this to 200,000+ a month.

Imagine the competitive advantage this kind of reach would bring.

Activate your team NOW!

P.S. If you’d like to activate your CEO or C-suite execs, DM me “ACTIVE” and I’ll show you how I can help.
