Co-founder & co-Ceo @Chili Piper 🔥 🌶 Here I talk about lessons I learned to jumpstart my career from an intern to SVP. And to grow a company from 0 to almost 1 Bn

Started my own company before high school to pay for my own education. Sold lipstick and my tech skills. Decided to do a master in computer science because make-up was a low margin business

Went on to create first mobile products with millions of users for Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, Pearson. Some of them went to be keynoted on stage by Steve Jobs 

The past ten years have got me back to entrepreneurship and it fits me like a glove. I founded Chili Piper - the demand conversion platform that doubles inbound conversion rates for cool companies like Spotify, Airbnb, Snapchat, Shopify and thousands others. Recently gone through a financial transaction that got us close to a billion dollar valuation 

On LinkedIn I write about lessons I learned as a woman & mom entrepreneur and hope to help others find their own giants within to prevail in their lives at work  

Co-Founder & Co-CEO

Chili Piper is the most advanced routing and scheduling software for B2B revenue teams. 
We solve interesting problems, live and breathe our core value of “help,” and have a ton of fun doing it while fully distributed around the world — powered by espresso and hot sauce.

I will be hosting one of the workshops organized by Spiralyze  on February 10 in Fort Lauderdale 

I’ve been to Florida many times but never to Fort Lauderdale . I’m coming because I need some sun after all this snow in NYC but also because Sahil Patel  is a cool dude

Struggling to turn LinkedIn® CONNECTIONS into actual SALES through social selling?
If your social selling strategy is just posting and hoping, why not do something about it?


It’s the MAIN reason why your inbox is crickets instead of conversations.

Start treating LinkedIn® as the social selling engine it’s meant to be.

Scrolling LinkedIn® without a social selling system to build trust and authority = LOST opportunities.

Missing quota is FRUSTRATING, and watching competitors win deals that should be yours is PAINFUL.

Imagine your perfect buyer is reading your profile right now.

But you don’t stand out.

You don’t engage them.

You’re blending in with every other salesperson pitching in the DMs, and they’re tuning you out.

With over 1 billion professionals on LinkedIn® daily, your social selling strategy must build credibility, trust, and real conversations.

Right now, if you’re just connecting and hoping....you’re:

→ REPELLING potential buyers.
→ LOSING to competitors who’ve mastered social selling.
→ MISSING out on revenue-driving conversations.

But if you take CONTROL and implement a proven social selling system, you:

→ ATTRACT inbound leads instead of chasing.
→ START conversations that turn into booked meetings.
→ BUILD relationships that shorten sales cycles and increase deal sizes.

LinkedIn® is the most powerful social selling TOOL today when used correctly.

"Salespeople who effectively use social selling on LinkedIn® generate 45% more opportunities per quarter."
LinkedIn® Sales Solutions

The right social selling system turns LinkedIn® into a pipeline-building machine.

But this isn’t about YOU; it’s about your BUYERS.

You need to be where they are, speak their language, and solve their problems through social selling.

To generate leads on LinkedIn® consistently, you need a repeatable social selling framework that includes:

→ A LinkedIn® profile optimized for social selling and trust-building.
→ Messaging that starts conversations instead of getting ignored.
→ A social selling content strategy that builds authority and warms up leads.
→ A connection strategy that grows your network with qualified buyers.
→ A DM strategy that turns engagement into booked meetings using social selling best practices.

Not convinced?

I guarantee results. If you don’t generate new sales conversations using social selling in your first 30 days, I’ll work with you until you do.

Let’s turn your LinkedIn® into a social selling pipeline-building machine.

I never gave a hoot about going Viral, neither should you.
{you'll want to save this for later}

LinkedIn gurus love to talk about templates, comments, low-value lead magnets, infographics, etc.

You don't even have enough time to digest one lead magnet or infographic before you see another pop up.

ENOUGH 🥴

Where is the actionable advice?
Where is the work itself? 
Where are the snapshots?


Their hustle:

You show them plenty of love, their reach expands, and the cycle continues.

(All while they use engagement pods and lie about it)

Guru: "Comment 20 to 30 times a day, oh, and be first to comment."

Guru Again: "Ohh, and don't forget...make sure to focus on big creators for visibility."

(All along, they are all in the same "Mastermind group")

You: Comment on their post right after they publish"

"WOW, 10k people saw my comment"

"NICE, I got 30 connection requests (Not you ICP)"

"WAIT, I'm getting pitched by people I connected with after I made that comment"

"WAIT...WTF is going on"

Don't continue this nonsense in 2026

You make NO money chasing likes.

Seriously...The bar has never been lower for social selling.

Do this instead.

Daily (9-6-3)

Go to Sales Nav,
Go to Leads
Filter your ICP.
(Toggle "Posted on Linked")

→ Find 9 companies in your ICP
→ Connect with 6 people in that company
→ Comment on at least 3 posts

→ When connected, send every one of them a message.

The weekly compounding effects will kick in.


Here's a template for you:

"Hey {first name}, I left you a comment on your most recent post about {specific post topic}. Your point on {detail} really hit home, but what are your thoughts on {topic}

P.S. Here's a quick resource that may help with {specific post topic}.


When you get a reply, use linkkd.in/dm to manage your inbox, and you're set.

Good luck, Champs.


P.S. Want me to make a video on how I do this step by step?

Leave a PHUQ YES in the comments.
If i get 100 of them, You're on!
