Building founder-led brands that attract the right clients and inbound sales.

For brand partnerships / speaking:  hello@beatricevladut.com

Most founders have a great business
but a weak personal brand.

Their message is unclear.
Their audience doesn’t know what they stand for.

And when people don’t know you, they don’t trust you.
And when they don’t trust you, they don’t buy from you.

Today, visibility is a growth multiplier.
People follow founders, not logos.

A founder without a visible voice loses attention, trust, and deals to someone louder — not someone better.

Your story, your POV, your values, your process — these are your competitive advantages.
But if they’re not communicated clearly and consistently, your ideal clients never see them.

This leads to:

• Slower sales cycles
• Weak differentiation
• Unqualified inbound
• Missed opportunities you should be winning

You don’t need more content.
You need clarity, consistency, and a system that turns your expertise into trust — automatically.

I help founders build high-trust personal brands on LinkedIn using a done-for-you system that turns their voice, insights, and experience into weekly content that drives inbound business.

I did it myself from zero in 2 years:

• 0 → 60,000 followers
• 6-figure inbound revenue
• Speaking gigs, top podcasts, global brand partnerships

Hand helped 100+ people do the same.

With a system that compounds.

How working together looks like:

1) Clear, premium positioning

A simple niche, a sharp promise, and a founder POV that makes you the obvious choice.

2) A done-for-you content engine

You show up 45 minutes/week.
We turn your insights into strategic content that builds demand.

3) Authority that compounds weekly

Your insights, wins, and story → credibility, trust, and better clients.

You go from--

“A great business no one sees” → “A trusted founder whose content attracts the right buyers.”

How I use storytelling to get more clients

Most people use storytelling but don't understand what actually makes a story work.

The most common mistakes?

No end.
No point.
No tension.
No transformation.

Here's exactly how I do it differently.

I used to post content that was purely educational. 

Useful? Yes. 
But it wasn't converting.

The moment I started leading with stories, I saw more people interested in my services,

Real stories, from my own journey and my clients' results.

A story that generates leads has 5 elements:

1. A powerful opening that stops the scroll
   
2. Specificity in the hook
   "I gained 10k followers in 3 months" beats "I grew my audience" every time
   
3. A clear transformation — before and after. 
   Where you started, where you ended up
   
4. Tension 
   Something that almost derailed the outcome, and how you pushed through
   
5. A lesson at the end — this is what makes it valuable, not just entertaining
   
Throughout every story, I blend in my services, my work, my client outcomes.

Not as a pitch. 
As receipts.

This builds pattern recognition over time...

People start associating you with results, and start trusting you before they ever reach out.

That's what turns readers into buyers.

What's stopping you from using your own story to attract clients right now?

Grow your founder brand and win clients. Done-for-you LinkedIn content that doesn’t sound like AI. | Entrepreneur | Creator | Speaker

Bad data is the most expensive thing in outbound. 

More than the tools. 
More than the copy.

But most founders never even look at it.

Here's what it looks like:

→ Sequences going out 
→ Open rates looking fine 
→ But replies? 

Silence.

So they tweak the copy. 
Change the subject line. 
Try a new framework.

Still nothing.

And the real issue was never the message.
It was the list.

Bounced emails. 
Outdated contacts. 
People who left the company 6 months ago.

They're optimizing the wrong thing.
The copy wasn't the problem. 
The offer wasn't the problem. 

They're sending gold to the wrong address.

I've seen people 10x their reply rates overnight. 

Same message. 
Same offer. 
Different list.

That's when I started using Prospeo.

→ Triple-verified emails (98% deliverability) 
→ Direct mobiles that actually connect (up to 30% pickup) 
→ Signals like hiring activity and funding so you reach people at the right moment

Fix the input, and the output fixes itself.

What's the biggest thing you've changed in your outreach process recently?

Your voice is your biggest asset as a founder.

Not just what you say, but how you say it.

Your tone, your nuance, the way you write emails, voice notes, even prompts.

That’s what builds trust.
That’s what people remember.

That’s what makes your content feel real, not AI-generated.

So when I started using voice tools and AI to move faster, I had a problem:

Things got quicker.
But my tone got lost.

Then I found Wispr Flow
And it made everything easier.

It’s a smart voice-to-text tool that actually gets me:

– Learns how I write
– Spells names + brands right
– Works across all tools (Slack, Notion, WhatsApp, ChatGPT)

And even more:
– Picks up corrections in real time
– Punctuates + formats like a human
– Works on desktop and iPhone

I use it to:

→ Write faster without losing tone
→ Save content ideas on the go
→ Send updates to my team
→ Reply to messages while walking

It’s like your writing voice, just faster.

If you care about tone but don’t want to waste time rewriting...
Wispr Flow is for you.

My greatest achievement?

It’s not a car. 
It’s not a house. 
It’s not money in the bank.

I don’t own a house. 
I don’t even own a car.

But I own my time. 
I own my choices. 
I own my life.

And that’s the kind of wealth I never knew I was chasing.

My business gave me that. 
Not because it made me rich. 
But because it gave me freedom.

The freedom to pick a spot on the map, shut my laptop, and take off.

The freedom to take my family on a holiday—on a random Tuesday. 
To treat my friends. 
To create memories. 

To say yes, whenever I want.
To say no, whenever I want.

That’s what success looks like to me.

Not the things I have. 
But the life I get to live.

This is my biggest achievement.

What's yours?

10 years ago, personal branding was for celebrities.
 
Today every founder, executive and entrepreneur knows they need one.
 
But most are still getting it wrong.
 
Here's what I've learned building a 6-figure agency helping founders grow their personal brand on LinkedIn.
 
The demand has never been higher.
 
Founders want visibility. 
Executives want authority. 
Business owners want inbound leads without paying for ads.
 
And they're all starting to realise the same thing — your personal brand is your most valuable business asset.
 
But here's where most go wrong.
 
They think personal branding means posting AI-generated content and calling it a day.
 
It doesn't work like that.
 
Building a personal brand that actually converts takes a real system.

→ Client interview — extracting what makes you unique. 
Your frameworks, experiences, opinions. 
This becomes the foundation everything is built on.

→ Positioning & messaging — so your content has a clear point of view and speaks directly to the right people.

→ Profile optimisation — so when the right person lands on your page, they immediately understand what you do and who you help.

→ Tailored content strategy — not a generic posting schedule, but a plan built around your specific goals and audience.

→ Engagement strategy — showing up consistently in the right conversations to build visibility and trust beyond just your own content.

→ Performance analytics — tracking what's working, cutting what isn't, and doubling down on what drives results.

You see...
 
The founders I work with aren't short on insights.

They're short on time and the ability to translate what they know into content that lands.
 
That's the gap. 
 
And the gap is only getting bigger as more people flood the space with generic content.
 
Which means if you're willing to show up with something real, you'll stand out more now than ever before.
 
Your competitors are posting. 
The question is whether anyone actually cares what they're saying.
 
 If you want to build your personal brand but don't have the time or the right system —

I have 2 spots left for done-for-you LinkedIn growth.

I'm looking for founders who are ready to use their personal brand as leverage.

DM me to see how I can help.

At 22, I had no audience. 
At 23, I started posting about content. 
At 25, I built a 6-figure business.

People don’t follow information. 
They follow perspective.

So I built a system around it:

1. I picked 3–4 personal transformations
2. I picked 3–4 industry topics
3. And I started blending the two
   
Not industry tips. 
Not hacks. 

But stories that teach.

This is the system I still use today: 
– I talk about how I started from zero 
– I talk about how I learned to write persuasively 
– I talk about how building a brand changed my life 
– I talk about the mindset shifts I had to make

And I connect each one to content, community, and credibility.

That’s how you stay relevant—no matter the algorithm. 

Because when the trends change, your story doesn’t. 
And when your story is clear, your brand grows with you.

If you don’t have a content system, you’ll always be chasing. 

Trends change, algorithms shift
And you’ll get stuck reacting. 

That’s how you become an employee in your own business. 

Build a system once, and your brand keeps working even when you’re not.

Here’s what I’ve learned:

→ People don’t remember your “tips” 
→ They remember how you made them feel 
→ And if you helped them make sense of something in their life

If you’re building a brand—start there. 

Not with a logo. 
Not with a “niche.” 
But with your own story.

PS: What’s one transformation you’ve had that could teach someone else something?

If I worked in corporate marketing…

I’d ban “quick deck” requests on Fridays.

Because, let's be honest...
There's nothing quick about them.

• Sales needs a client presentation.
• Finance needs a one-pager.
• HR wants a “small” slide update for all-hands.

They all come to marketing.

And somehow, by the time those decks go out…

• Wrong logo version.
• Old brand colors.
• A font that definitely wasn’t approved.
• A template someone saved to their desktop in 2021.

So Friday becomes brand clean-up day.

But the fix isn’t chasing people down.
It’s not more reminders.
It’s not another email saying “please use the latest template.”

The fix is making the right versionthe only version people can access.

That’s the part Templafy solves.

All your brand assets — templates, logos, approved copy blocks- live in one centralised library.

Embedded directly inside PowerPoint and Word.

So when someone opens a new presentation,they’re already starting from the right place.

The current version.
The approved one.

No more “Can you send me the latest deck?” Slack message.
No more last-minute spot-checks before a client call.

The brand work you spent months building actually holds.

Every time someone opens a document.
Not just when you’re watching.

If I were running brand at a company of any size
This is how I’d protect it.

Try it here: h͟t͟t͟p͟s͟:͟/͟/͟l͟i͟n͟k͟.͟o͟m͟a͟n͟e͟.͟m͟e͟d͟i͟a͟/͟b͟e͟a͟t͟r͟i͟c͟e͟-͟v͟l͟a͟d͟u͟t͟ 

 #TemplafyPartner

I'm obsessed with systems that talk to each other.

The problem with tools alone is this: 

They sit in separate tabs waiting for you to connect them manually.

Systems do the connecting for you.

That's why this new Gamma update caught my attention.

Gamma now lives inside Claude as a connector.

Here's exactly what that looks like in practice:

 → You open Claude.  
→ Connect your Notion workspace.  
→ Claude reads your docs, strategies, meeting notes and whatever lives there.  
→ You think through it, refine it, push it further — all inside Claude.  
→ Then you ask Gamma to build a deck from that conversation.

A structured, designed, shareable presentation. 

Without opening a new tab. 
Without copying a single line. 
Without rebuilding anything from scratch.

Your Notion brain → your Claude thinking → your Gamma output. 

One conversation. One system.

This is what I mean when I say build systems, not workflows.

A workflow is a sequence you follow. 
A system is infrastructure that runs while you think.

Claude thinks with you. 
Notion feeds it. 
Gamma shows it.

The gap between insight and output just got a lot smaller.

"Prices are rising next month, but not for you"

Told me the owner of our local cafe in Okinawa.

I go to this cafe at least once a week.

I have introduced it to friends and family.

The owners are a beautiful couple in their late 30s with 2 kids.

They are pretty reserved.

But we have occasionally asked each other questions...

Out of curiosity.

I asked where they were from, why they built a cafe here, who did the renovations, and questions like that.

They asked me what I do for a living, where I am from and why I moved to the Okinawa countryside.

They felt like not raising the prices for me.

I feel that when you build an authentic bond, miracles happen.

You have access to things you did not have before.

But a bond is not somethign you can force.

It's something that is built out of pure curiosity and intention.

You cannot fake it.

If you do, people feel it.

Personalized DMs aren’t the problem.

Getting no reply is.

The problem is not:

- Time spent personalizing DMs.

It is to spend time on DMs to:

- Be ignored
- Have long convos that go nowhere

It's impossible to get a reply to 100% of your DMs.

Or convert every conversation into a sales call.

But there are ways to:

Set yourself up for success.

I have helped 300+ professionals with their outreach.

And here is the fastest way to get to set up a predictable outreach system.

1) Go manual

Spend up to 10-20, even 30 minutes (if needed) per lead and create a hyperpersonalized approach. Reach out to 3-5 prospects/d.

2) Choose your MVP

If you get 2 positive replies with <50 DMs, stop and systemize. Otherwise, repeat: iterate with a new approach.

3) Scale

Keep a manual approach for 3-5 people/day while refining to improve conversion/decrease time spent. Automate/delegate/systemize for another 20 leads a day (approximate your manual approach, the best you can).

- Extra: Every single word has to be focused on the prospect.

Outreach loves action...

And hates overthinking.

I consult at least 1-3 people daily on DMs...

And the number#1 outreach killer is:

- Not doing outreach

Sounds like a ridiculous insight...

But you might have found yourself in one of the following scenarios:

- Not wanting to sound salesy
- Not knowing whom to target
- Not knowing how to start a conversation

The root issue here is the same:

Overthinking and inaction.

And outreach lives "in action".

And many keep that nagging feeling at the back of their mind that tells them:

"You should be sending DMs".

I have worked with many consultants and business leaders...

I have never seen anything that delivers results as quickly as outreach.

It is possible to start getting leads and clients virtually TODAY.

If you do not know where to start, do this:

1) Find leads that fit your ICP

Possibly active. And leave a comment on their post (if not, go to step # 2).


2) Send a connection request

Ask a question about their business.


3) Pivot

When they reply, ask a questionabout their business but related to your services.

LinkedIn reach has dropped by 60-70%.

But there is a new opportunity in 2026.

LinkedIn, like other social media platforms...

Has reached a maturity point.

It was more sudden and steep because of AI.

A year ago...

Anything below 2-4k views was an "underperforming post" for me.

Nowadays, anything that cracks the 1k views is a success :)

(and I am grateful for every single view)

The opportunity on LinkedIn used to be mostly in the "exposure" of content.

And many are still so focused on what they lost...

That they do not see what is in front of them.


- Before:

You would get several leads a week from content.

CTAs in the content and templated DMs were enough to generate clients.

We didn't have time or need to reach out to each and every one of them in a personalized way.


- Now:

We get a few leads from content.

Templated DMs and CTAs are not as effective because the numbers are smaller.

And a personalized approach becomes the new opportunity.


Here is how I do it:

1) Comment on a lead's post a few times
Be intentional with each and every comment. No AI stuff.

2) Send a conenction request
If they do not connect with you first

3) Start a conversation
Be intentional with your DMs.

P.S. I am creating a resource to show you my entire warm outreach process. Comment or DM "outreach" to receive it when it's ready.

Got my first 47 clients with templated DMs.

Then it stopped working.

Reach dropped. 

Inboxes got saturated. 

The playbook I relied on became everyone's playbook.

I was relying on profile visitors and new followers.

But the algorithm was not as generous as it used to be.

Building relationships from content became harder.

So I had to find another way to keep leads coming in.

And what came out of it is a system that:

- Takes me 30 minutes a day instead of 2 to 4 hours.
- Does not rely on traffic or followers.

Watch the training here👇

https://lnkd.in/gXBkfqjQ

I don't talk business unless I receive permission in one of these ways:

- The lead opens up about an issue you can solve
- You receive a compliment about your [topic]

(I explain my entire process here https://lnkd.in/gXBkfqjQ )

Not everyone gets here on their own...

I gently guide my prospects.

Once I have a conversation...

I ask a simple "this or that" question to gently guide them.

Relationships are built on trust.

If I don't have it... 

I don't move the conversation forward.

For example, yesterday, a prospect replied 

"I'm selling on LinkedIn, but it's hard to keep up with how much time it takes".

Here, I know I have their trust and permission to pivot.

There are other ways to do outreach.

This is the way I chose.

P.S. Do you "talk business" in your first DM?

I am all in for human outreach.

But I am not anti-automation, because:

- You can use automation to enhance the human touch

(and do it outside of your account so it's safe)

Here are 3 examples where automation enhances the human touch:


1) Lead validation

This is a classic repetitive task that is vital, but can easily be done by AI.

This already saves 15-45mins a day, depending on volume.


2) Lead research

To create personalization, you need to do your research. AI is amazing at providing information that you can then turn into a personalized message. Like content recapping or identifying the lead's ICP for example.

This can save 1-3 minutes per lead.


3) Systemization

Knowing exactly when to comment on a lead's post or connect with them and having all the conversation context in one place with Extrovert before reaching out.

Also, if I need to create a reminder when the lead is not ready to have the conversation today, I set a reminder in Kondo: Superhuman for LinkedIn DMs.

Hard to quantify, but can easily save 10-20 mins/day.


Human touch does make a huge difference.

But seeing automation and AI as enemies of intentional outreach is a mistake.

You can use automation to enhance it and free up your time and mental space to focus on leaving intentional comments and DMs to your prospects.

P.S. I am teaching how to go from a stranger to clients to my community every week. Comment or DM "system" to receive the Doc of the program.

One thing I have learned about outreach:

It likes action.

It does not matter if you get it wrong...

Fail...

And get ghosted.

It's ok even if you pitch slap people...

What's important is:

- That you take the lesson.
- Apply the learnings.
- And move on.

You have a unique opportunity to get in front of your ideal clients.

It's up to you to make the best of it.

P.S. Do you DM at all?

To grow a business intentionally means:

To say no a lot more than to say yes.

If:

An opportunity does not align, you say no.

A strategy does not feel right, you say no.

If you don’t want to offer it, you say no.

That is how you unlock the exact opportunities that energize you.

And that is how you grow your business intentionally.
