Generate 5+ leads/wk with irresistible offers | 5x Founder | Former CRO & VP of Marketing

Hey there! 👋

I help entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches and creators build a Client Acquisition System for high-ticket offers on LinkedIn and close $2-5k clients without any sales experience. 

No more 'cringe pitching' DM's or soul destroying sales tactics. 

Just real conversations that lead to booked calls and clients. 
(it took me 6 years to perfect this for social selling on LinkedIn).

And I use this exact client acquisition systems to build my business on LinkedIn.

I’m on a mission to help entrepreneurs like you ditch the cringe-pitch and build revenue-generating machines on LinkedIn without needing a massive audience. 

Here’s the deal:

- You’re juggling building your business, creating content, and trying to actually land clients.
- Leads feel inconsistent, and outreach can feels awkward and salesy.
- You know LinkedIn has potential, but you’re not sure how to make it work for you.

That's where I can help. The first business I built was acquired in 2020. Before that I: 
- started 4 businesses 
- spent 12 years as CRO 
- sold those 4 businesses 
- 3+ yrs as VP of Marketing 
- got a search engine as a client 
- ran DTC and B2B business models 
- built a brand showcased in GQ & WIRED 
- built partnerships with multi-$bn companies 
  (and learned from plenty of mistakes along the way) 

With 20+ years of experience building my own businesses, I know how to create offers, strategies, and conversations that convert easily without the discomfort.

Last month I rebuilt my business for more freedom, and it’s made me more productive too.

I was chained to my desk 5 days/wk. 

OK, maybe 6, because I would work some of the weekends too. 

But I had a good reason. 

I was building my business, in growth mode, build mode, client acquisition mode. . . 

I had all the excuses for it to make sense.

And I hated it. 

I was burning out. 
Delivery was taking over my week. 
I want building the schedule I wanted. 

My business that was eating my schedule. 

Like a freedom-tornado. It sucked up all my spare time and energy. 

In the beginning I wanted my own business FOR more freedom, a flexible schedule, time with fam. 

But somewhere along the line id given that up. 

So I decided to take control back. 

I rebuilt my delivery model and reworked my schedule to get a whole day back! 

It actually worked better for clients too. 

They get more structure for their schedule. 
And they get better results and more momentum. 

It was a huge boost for my program overall. 

A serious win win. 

It took me less than a day to do it.

I talked with 3 coaches doing over $1m/yr this month. Here's what they're building instead of 'funnels' in 2026.

They all said the same thing.

A simple sales funnel got them started a few years ago, but that's not how people buy anymore.

Their customers KNOW when their in a sales funnel now. 

And so they've changed their buyer journey to fit this model instead.

There are a couple variations to this, but essentially you need to 3 things to make it work: 


1. Get them engaged with something LOW friction. 

This could be a lead magnet, a newsletters or a low ticket offer for example.

(although 2 of them were actually abandoning their low ticket offers in favour of a shorter buying journey to high-ticket MRR). 


2. Help them level-up with an easy next-step.

This is a simple "if that helped, this will too" offer. 

Your goal here is to help them know, like and trust you enough to engage with your core offer. 

Keep it simple, bingeable and offer it sooner than you think you should.


3. Make accessing your core-offer an EASY next-step.

Remember, we're helping them 'ascend', in this model.

They need to know what you core offer is, how it helps them and have a clear, easy path to access it. 

Don't hide it in a 7-day email course. 

Make it easy for them to buy from you. 
(this is where 97% of coaches go wrong).


You need to stop trying to stuff hundreds and thousands of people into the top of your funnel hoping a few will drop out as clients. 

You can sell more, with less effort, to your small audience if you just help them level up.

And make it easy for them to take the next step.

I'm going to show you how.

Ai will end up in a similar historical category as the calculator.

1. Some entrepreneurs will use it to spell 80085.

2. A few will use it to solve the mysteries of the universe.

3. Everyone else will have one on their watch and use it to calculate tips.

It's human psychology.

HomeDepot is full of incredibly powerful tools.

Few use them correctly or can build something meaningful with them.

Most just collect them and then end up in the ER.


What do you think? 
Is Ai going to take your job?

If you don't have time to get new clients,

that's a warning sign your business is dyeing. 

If you don't have time to focus on client acquisition, you don't have control over your business. 

Would you rather have control? 

Or hope you get lucky and it works out?

If you've tried newsletters, DM's, podcasting, webinars.

You're avoiding the work that will actually grow your business.

I've done it myself. 

You start a business in hopes of having more:
time,
money
and freedom.

You try to find "the one thing" that will make YOUR business grow.

And so you add more things to your plate.

And all you actually do is run around all day getting all of them to work about 20% as well as they could.

Instead of getting 1 of them to 90%.

Building a business isn't difficult. The strategy is easy. 

You probably already know what you need to do.

But it's HARD work. 

And we tend to avoid the thing that's hard and get distracted by shiny objects or 'the next' thing.

Pick one. 

Optimize the living daylights out of it until it's humming at, at least, 75% of it's actual potential. 

Then optimize even more to get it up to 90%. 

That's how you win. 

Successful businesses = Leaning into the repeat work. 

Just do the work.


What's the HARD thing you've been avoiding?

If client acquisition is your biggest problem. 

This is for you.

I guarantee you don't have just 1 thing to fix.

The coaches and consultants I work with on on this, usually have 3.

1. Their offer.
2. Their sales call process.
3. The actions they take each week. 

If you can nail these three, you can't fail. 

And this is where 99% founders go wrong. They try to do everything.

Newsletters.
Landing pages.
Podcast guesting.
Workshops.
Webinars.
Youtube. 
DM's. 
The list goes on.

They dial 10 things up to 20%. 

Instead of 1 thing up to 100%. 

Stop trying to do everything. 
Get out of creator-mode.

And get into founder-mode.

Your client acquisition problems will be a thing you leave in 2025.

There's a hidden cost to 1:1 coaching.

And it's why most coaching businesses fail.

You think having a packed out schedule full of 1:1 clients is the dream.

But when you get there, instead of living the dream. . .

You're in a delivery-tornado that sucks all your time and energy away from actually building your business.

Every month feels like you're restarting. 

You've got the skills, but nothing compounds.

You feel like you're running on the same hamster wheel week after week and then chasing new clients to keep it going.

It's a cycle most coaches never get out of.

You've accidentally built a business model that sucks all your time and freedom instead of protecting it. 

I found the solution for this last year.

It's been a gamechanger for my schedule. 

- I get more done, with a lot less effort.
- I got control back over my business and schedule. 
- I have more downtime to do the stuff I enjoy.
- I have time to get new clients without hustling.

And best of all, it unblocked my revenue ceiling so I can grow this thing without it wrecking my schedule.

It's called the Freedom-First Delivery Model.

If you want to see if this will work for your business shoot me a DM and I'll send you the breakdown of how it changed mine.

If you explained your business to a stranger. 

Would they say it’s simple or complicated?

Be honest! 

Your answer is going to change your whole year and potentially get your business moving again.

The simple truth is:

Simple scales. 

Simple got Matt Lakajev to $5m. 
Simple got Katelyn Bourgoin to $1m. 
Simple got Alisha Conlin-Hurd to $500k in 8mnths.

So what the heck are you building? 

You don’t need 15 ideal client profiles, 5 offers, a complicated ascension offer model, an open calendar and 3 VA’s to help you manage all the calls and platforms you’re posting on. 

You need 1 simple delivery method that helps you scale.

You can’t run in 2 directions at once. 

Pick a lane. 

Stay in it. 

Keep it simple. 

You’ll reach your goal 10X faster.

What’s the thing you’re doing each week that feels hesvy, like you’re over complicating your business?

Tell me below.

How did you choose your business model? 

To max your $$$? or minimize your time spend?

I've built 6 businesses over the last 18+ years.

I used to choose my business model based on how much it would make it. I tried to maximize earning potential. 

But then as the businesses grew and started to make money, I realized that wasn't actually how I wanted to spend my time. 

I stopped PICKING a business model.

And started building my own based on minimizing my time spend, 

AND maximizing my earning potential. 

When you build for you, instead of choosing someone elses business model.

Things feel light and easy. 

As your business grows, you'll realize, 

how you spend your time is more important than how much you $$.

Optimize your time, and the $ will be easier to earn.

Do you work on vacation? 

Here's the dark side of entrepreneurship when you don't set proper boundaries. 

- You can't switch off and enjoy your surroundings.
- You spend every waking hour thinking about work.
- Stress builds. There's not enough time. 

A guy walked past me while I was working at the beach for an hour in Hilton Head, SC.

He said "You should ask your boss for a day off!" and then laughs as he staggered off.

I looked at him and said "I am the boss!". 

I was ticked-off for a bit, but then I realized the true value of entrepreneurial freedom. . . .

I have control. 
I can decide. 
It's my choice. Not someone else's. 

And it's glorious! 

I love the flexibility I have to work wherever I am in the world.

I've built my delivery model so that it feels light and easy. 

My business is about protecting my freedom, not anchoring me.

And I like to feel productive while Im on vacation. 
That's my happy place. 🙌🏼

But you have to set REAL boundaries and know when to close the laptop (or your phone . . . yeah you know).


What does your delivery model look like? 

Do you take the laptop, or is that a no go?

If you slid your offer across the table on a piece of paper. . . 

Would the buy? 

Have questions?

Or ignore it completely? 

If the value of your offer isn’t clear enough that they take immediate action. . . 

It needs work. 

Adam tweaked his offer and got a $4,500 client in an hour after the first workshop. 

It’s the critical component most coaches don’t spend nearly enough time on.

- And they lose sales. 
- Spend hours in sales calls that go nowhere. 
- DM’s that ghost them. 
- Workshops that lead to crickets.
- And get stuck on the revenue rollercoaster. 
- Month after month. 

So in two weeks, I’m going to be working with a small group of coaches to build,

an offer that helps them close more clients and get sold-out, with fewer sales calls and less effort. 

If that sounds good to you, comment “OFFER” and I’ll send you the details.

Here's a simple truth every coach should know. 

It will make or break you. 

The architecture of your business determines whether growth creates freedom or overwhelm.

Read that again and let it sink in. 

Most coaches I talk to are building themselves a time-prison, not freedom.

And it all hinges on the architecture of their business. 

It's copied, chosen at random, or just came together by accident as they got clients. 

And so most growing coaches feel overwhelmed. 

If you want to ditch the overwhelm and design your business so that you earn more, while doing less, comment "DESIGN" and I'll send you the details.
