5 years ago I led a 7-figure award-winning marketing agency.

The #1 thing that scaled the business to that point:

Founders shared their expertise online.

There's 2 ways you can do that.

Do it alone:

- Waste 12-18 hours a month
- Feel anxious about what to post
- Question your abilities because you lack results

Do it with me:

- Get back valuable time to focus on your biz.
- Feel peaceful that your content is done for you
- Enjoy new clients with posts showing your expertise

I've helped 20+ businesses bring in over $7.2M with lead generation and copywriting since 2018.

If you're serious about getting clients from LinkedIn, I'm here to make that happen.

There are 2 ways to build a brand that actually drives revenue:

Co-Founder & Head of Strategy

Olympic Coach, High-Performance Consultant & Research Assistant

Science x Branding x Differentiation = [LOADING... come back tomorrow]

👋 👋 Hello!

You're on my profile, so here's a bit about me 👇👇

What I do is simple: 

I help businesses make smarter decisions by understanding how people *actually* behave—not how we *wish* they would.

This might surprise you: 

Most branding agencies build beautiful art projects with your money. They celebrate Instagram likes while your sales stay flat. They spend weeks debating colors instead of focusing on what makes you special in the market. They take your key business & brand foundations and bury them beneath "vibes." They sacrifice data, research, and consumer psychology in favor of "what feels right." It's a total sh*tshow.

As co-founder of Graewolves, I created something different. We specialize in research-backed branding and marketing. We help businesses stand out and make more money through a simple 3-step process:

1️⃣ We find your unique sweet spot where competitors can't follow you (your "Category of One")
2️⃣ We discover exactly where your potential customers get stuck or hesitant when trying to buy
3️⃣ We fix those sticking points through branding, marketing, and behavioral science (the psychology behind how people actually make decisions)

What happens next? 

Our clients see up to 800% ROI within 12 months. Not because we made their logo prettier, but because we made their business work better. Through scientific thinking + principles, applied to business. 

Think about it: 

When was the last time a branding agency showed you the clear connection between their work and your actual revenue? That's exactly what we do. No smoke and mirrors—just results you can measure. 

A clear upward trend for your business 📈

My background brings together PhD-level research with real-world experience leading 100+ B2B transformations for high-ticket coaches, consultancies and agencies. Fun fact: I’ve also been a Nationally-ranked powerlifter and trained 50+ Olympic athletes (a dozen Olympic medalists!) to perform at their best. This unique blend of business, research, art, science and ambition… is what fuels all my work. 

Yes, our approach costs more than typical branding—not because we're "premium" (honestly, that word means nothing anymore), but because we do the deep research work that every other agency skips.

✅ We’ve (re)built 100+ brands & businesses.
✅ Increased their revenue up to 3x. 
✅ Gained up to 7x higher ROI on every marketing dollar they spend. 

We only work with a handful of new clients each quarter.

Want your branding & marketing to bring you clients 24/7/365? 

Let's talk.

Jason Dellatolla, PhD(c)

Got a DM this week. LinkedIn bro told me, "Gary Vee says LinkedIn is hot right now. We really need to be posting more and more."

I asked him: "Why do you NEED LinkedIn to work? What about all the other social media platforms or cold outreach options that exist?"

He pushed back: "I've been posting on LinkedIn for 4 years... but now I can't predict the algo anymore. Our leads are at an all-time low."

This guy was validation-seeking, not problem-solving. 

He was convinced LinkedIn was the sole solution to his lead gen problems. 

He wanted to cherry-pick the data that confirmed his decisions, not to understand the full spectrum of data that challenged his reality. 

This went back-and-forth a few times....
Felt like I was talking to the wall.

I didn't pitch to him. Didn't even try to book a call. 
Wouldn't have been a good fit. So I moved on. 

At Graewolves, we stress-test your approach. And if it doesn't stand on its own two feet, we'll tell you. 

The lesson: 

The most expensive mistake in business isn't being wrong.
It's being wrong and refusing to admit it.

Science over stubbornness wins every time.


_______________________

P.S. - What data are you ignoring because it contradicts your favourite tactics? That might be the most valuable insight you'll get today.

P.P.S. - LinkedIn is THE most important B2B platform. But you're missing out on incredible opportunities if LinkedIn is the ONLY lead gen tool in your toolbox.

This week I've got 19 calls booked:

- 7 interviews (research for clients)
- 7 client strategy calls
- 2 discovery calls with pre-warmed prospects
- 3 meetings to work ON the business

Notice what's first on that list?

Research interviews and client fulfilment. Not sales calls. Not coffee chats. Research. And fulfilment. 

Because the quality of everything we produce for our clients depends on how well we understand their specific market. And their unique value/offer. 

Those 7 interviews will inform our 7 strategy calls. The insights from the interviews will also sharpen all of my discovery calls and prospect consultations for the next 6-12 months. And the patterns I identify in those calls will shape our 3 team meetings about where we're heading with Graewolves -- and how we plan to get there.

Most businesses fill their calendars with sales calls and superfluous meetings. We fill ours with research and execution. 

All these interviews ensure the branding and marketing systems we build for our clients are as effective as possible. And backed by real ICP data, not random hunches. 

Here's what those research interviews actually do:

+ Reveal why customers actually bought (not why we think they did)
+ Expose silent objections that kill sales calls
+ Identify language patterns our clients' messaging should mirror
+ Uncover problems competitors aren't solving
+ Test our hypotheses and uncover the best strategy forward

Every hour spent in high-quality research interviews with our clients' ICP saves 10 hours of guessing during their strategy development and implementation.

Businesses that skip this step will always have lower close rates and clients that churn. The businesses that prioritize it can expect their close rates and CLTV to keep climbing.

Research isn't a luxury for "later." 

It's the foundation of everything that works.

How many research calls did you conduct last month for yourself and for your clients?

That number might explain more about your business growth than your marketing budget does.

The hottest trend on LinkedIn right now is the Authentic Voice.
But how does that *actually* get you sales?

Truth be told, an "authentic voice" alone rarely sells.

Why?

Because even the most authentic voice can't compensate for a lack of marketing, positioning, offer/pricing strategy, or sales copywriting.

An authentic voice does NOT make up for:

👉 No clear offer.
👉 No compelling CTAs.
👉 No understanding of your ICP's pain points.
👉 No differentiation from the competition.
👉 No building trust at every click.

So, if you want to actually bring in new business, you better have a solid foundation of branding, marketing, and sales copywriting.

An "authentic voice" is the cherry 🍒 on top of your cake.
Not the cake 🎂 itself.

Just some 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵.

The rarest skill in 2026 won't be coding or marketing. It will be having an original thought you didn't outsource to a chatbot.

proof of brain = new flex.

anyone else concerned about this?

To make $1 Million, you need:
• 10,000 yeses at $100
• 2,000 yeses at $500
• 1,000 yeses at $1,000
• 100 yeses at $10,000
• 20 yeses at $50,000

Which is easier: 

Getting 10,000 yeses or 100 yeses?

If you have your ducks in a row... 
100 yeses > 10,000 yeses.

But here’s what most people get wrong about pricing: 

They think the ONLY thing prospects consider is MONEY.

(Not true at all.)

When someone says "yes" to your offer, they're actually saying yes to:

👉 Giving you their money
👉 Giving you their time
👉 Trusting you can get them results
👉 Fitting your model/service into their plans
👉 Putting their reputation on the line to give you autonmy
👉 And dozens of other psychological factors... 

Money is just ONE piece of the decision puzzle.

So, if you've convinced someone to:

- Invest their time
- Believe in the outcome
- Commit to the process
- Trust your expertise
- Prioritize your solution

Then asking for $20,000 instead of $10,000 is just adjusting ONE variable in an already complex decision matrix.

The real work is not convincing them to pay more.
The real work is convincing them the transformation is worth it.

Most service providers have this backwards:

↳ They justify their price instead of demonstrating their value.
↳ They overcome money objections instead of building conviction about the outcome.

The winning approach:

✅ Earn their trust that you can do it for them. 
✅ Show them what's achievable when this works out. 
✅ Build confidence in the process and outcome.

The question isn't: "How can I get more people to say yes?"
The question is: "How can I make my 'yes' worth more?"

Final note: 

Client lifetime value with a high-value client automagically compounds over time if you deliver the results you promised them.

Which is not the case with a cheap funnel/product.

P.S. - What's stopping you from charging what you're actually worth?

By the time prospects get on a call with you, they should already want to work with you.

Map out every branding and marketing touchpoint that moves the needle when a prospect wants to book their first meeting with you:

1/ Does your website copy pre-handle common objections?
2/ Does your LinkedIn content show (don't tell!) your expertise?
3/ Do your case studies tell a convincing story (beyond facts)?
4/ Do your email sequences follow a conversion strategy?
5/ Is your offer/pricing ladder optimized for conversions?
6/ Is it clear why prospects should hire you over dozens of alternatives?
7/ Do you have a proven strategy when selling to different client segments?

The best sales calls feel like strategic planning sessions with warm, pre-sold prospects. The worst sales calls feel like interrogations with skeptical strangers.

Lots of Founders focus on improving sales skills when they should be improving pre-sales positioning.

That comes from your branding. And your marketing. 

Do both of those well... and the sale should feel inevitable, not uncertain.

Most businesses wait until the sales call to start selling.

Instead, you can be doing this 👇

At Graewolves, we help our clients sell before prospects ever get on the phone with them.

How?

+ Market research to create better offers
+ Content marketing that signals authority
+ Case studies that mirror prospect situations
+ Social proof positioned at key decision points
+ Website copy that preempts buyer objections
+ Email sequences that demonstrate unique value
+ Client/prospect interviews for data-backed business decisions

Every element gets aggregated into our clients' branding and marketing. 

Every touchpoint moves prospects closer to "yes" before you ever meet them.

The end result?

1/ Higher close rates
2/ Shorter sales cycles
3/ Increases in pricing every 6 months
4/ Proposals that win over decision-makers
5/ Not wasting 200+ hrs/year on sales calls with bad-fit leads

The lesson: 

➡️ Your branding and marketing should do the heavy lifting so your sales calls can focus on long-term strategy, not minute-by-minute persuasion tactics.

There's the scientific way to do banding and marketing. 

And then there's the "sh*t I just paid another agency $25K again and got zero ROI out of it" way to do branding and marketing. 

Which would you prefer?

All influencers chase followers.
Successful entrepreneurs chase insights.

Big audience:
- Feels good
- Looks impressive
- Validates ego
- Requires constant feeding

Big ideas:
+ Feels challenging
+ Looks invisible
+ Validates expertise
+ Compounds over time

The pattern:

People with 100K followers and shallow thinking fade fast when trends shift.
People with 10K followers and deep thinking build 20-year businesses that weather any platform change.

Albeit not mutually exclusive....
Your follower count is a vanity metric.
Your idea quality is a longevity metric.

The coach/consultant with viral billboard posts about "Monday motivation" disappears as soon as the algorithm changes. 

The coach/consultant with original frameworks based on decades of data and results is the one who builds an empire that transcends all social media platforms.

Audience size versus idea size.

One makes you look successful today. 
One makes you actually successful for decades.

Invest carefully.


________________
Before you hire your next "Head of Marketing" or pay a $5K+ monthly retainer for an agency, ponder this for a few days. What are you optimizing for, and why? What kind of business/brand do you want to build? A cheap cash grab, or something that stands tall for decades?

Prospect call last week: "We need better ops. More efficient processes. Better project management. Hire 2-3 more staff."

Their revenue: $850K annually
Team: Overwhelmed
Lead flow: Referral-based, unpredictable.
Pricing: $5K/mo retainers worth $7.5K/mo

I said, "You don't have an efficiency problem. You have a positioning and pricing problem."

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, 𝗜 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼:
• Reposition as boutique, premium specialists
• Raise their prices from $5K to $7.5K, and then $10K
• Target new verticals in international markets
• Focus on fewer, better clients

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲:
• Same revenue with less work. (Or same work, but +50% more cash)
• Same team, way less stress.
• Same quality, much better margins.

⚠️ Many "Operational" problems are actually Positioning problems in disguise.

You don't need to work 20% more efficiently.
You need to work 2X more selectively.

You don't need slightly better systems.
You need much better leads.

You don't need more capacity.
You need higher-paying clients. 

Before you hire another employee or buy another tool, ask:

↳ What if we charged 2x-3x and worked with half the clients?
↳ What if we positioned ourselves as premium specialists?
↳ What if we stopped competing on price?

Often, the solution isn't doing more.

It's doing less, but better, and for more money.

"Trust the process" is the business equivalent of "because I said so."

And it exploits a known cognitive bias: our preference for certainty over ambiguity.

It's complete BS. 

High-stakes decisions—the kind that involve significant investment in your business or personal development—don't get better outcomes through suppressed doubt. 

They get better outcomes through resolved doubt.

If you're a coach or consultant selling a $40,000+ service....
