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!

Saturday shoutout to the incredible customers we get to build with at Apollo 👏

“Apollo is the best, most holistic, most well-rounded tool we can live in. We genuinely can’t do our jobs without it.”

Hearing feedback like this never gets old. It’s a powerful reminder of why we do what we do—and how much trust our customers put in us every day.

This is also a perfect example of the GTM + AM partnership in action: listening closely, iterating fast, and building alongside our users to solve real problems. Thanks Anna Lee Webster!  

Huge thanks to the team at Sesami for the continued partnership and for keeping us honest (and for continuing to lobby whoever controls the checkbook 😄). We immensely appreciate you ❤️

#customers #partnership #gtm #apollo #gratitude

Kicking off 2026 with some really great customer conversations already 🚀

I love sharing my perspective as a GTM Engineer and helping teams see how small tweaks—smarter workflows, AI-powered research, and our AI Assistant—can transform their day-to-day in Apollo.io.

I’m also excited to meet with more customers over the coming weeks and showcase some of the real work our AI team has been building—especially with the official launch of AI Messaging 4.0.

A few highlights from the video below 👇
 • Turn prospecting → fully personalized, multi-channel sequences in under 10 minutes
 • Use the Apollo AI Assistant to instantly generate 6-step sequences (email, calls, LinkedIn)
 • Power everything with the Content Center — the foundation for consistent, on-brand AI messaging
 • Run deep company + executive persona research automatically (no copy/paste, no open-web rabbit holes)
 • Deliver messaging that actually looks like you tried — competence-assumed, no AI fluff
 • Preview and scale highly personalized outreach across accounts in minutes, not hours

This is about helping teams move faster without sacrificing quality or authenticity. Huge kudos for René Cobar & the AI team in this launch!

DM me if you want to see this in action or have any questions!

Come work with one of the best Marketers in the business Katie Parkes & for a company that is changing the way teams approach GTM at Apollo.io. DM myself or Katie if you are interested in the role!
