Relationship Manager

LinkedIn Global Top Voice (Invitation Only) | Helping Side Hustlers & Solopreneurs Scale to their first $100k

Most service-based businesses fail because they're built on hope, not strategy.

After 10+ years managing $300M+ in corporate accounts across automotive, aerospace, and defense, I've seen what separates businesses that thrive from those that survive on luck.

The difference? Strategic systems over sporadic tactics.

My Authority:

→ Corporate-Level Strategy: Adapted enterprise account management frameworks for small business reality

→ Cross-Industry Expertise: Automotive urgency + Aerospace planning + Defense resilience = unshakeable business foundations

→ Proven Track Record: Currently building Morris Strategic Advising while maintaining corporate responsibilities (walking the walk)

The Strategic Problems I Solve:
• Revenue inconsistency that keeps you awake at 3am
• Lead generation that feels like throwing darts blindfolded
• Growth strategies that create burnout instead of breakthrough
• Sales processes that depend on luck instead of systems

My Framework - The Sustainable Sales Blueprint:
A battle-tested methodology that transforms chaotic client acquisition into predictable revenue streams. 

Built on three pillars:

1. Strategic Foundation - Corporate-level planning scaled for small business
2. Relationship Architecture - Systems that build trust before transactions
3. Sustainable Scaling - Growth without the feast-or-famine rollercoaster

Why This Approach Works:
Most consultants teach tactics. I architect systems. The difference is the gap between temporary wins and lasting success.

You find deals off-market (after a lot of hassle).

👋🏻 Now, you ask your family, friends, and old investors for capital.

You successfully raise a few thousand dollars... but the deal still isn't closed yet.

You need checks worth hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, but your network is limited.

Here's where you get stuck.

But for one second, imagine this...

You have a list of high net worth individuals, family offices, and investors who trust you and know you well. You find a deal, share the deck with your email list, post it on LinkedIn where hundreds of HNWIs already follow you...

And the capital flows in.

How easily could you raise millions?

Yes, this is possible. A lot of RE firm founders are doing this right now. They're building personal brands, earning trust, and silently filling their investor pipeline.

If you're not doing this, you're missing out on something big.

Here's what we do for our RE clients to help them achieve that:

- Build a trusted LinkedIn profile that positions you as the obvious choice
- Develop a content strategy that speaks directly to accredited investors
- Create weekly LinkedIn content that attracts the right people
- Build and nurture an email list of qualified investors
- Run outbound campaigns to fill your CRM faster

Results in the last 365 days (as of Jan 1, 2025):

- 1+ million impressions
- 100+ inbound investor inquiries
- 350+ investor calls booked

If you're a founder of a real estate investment firm raising capital for deals or private equity funds...

We can help you attract investors through LinkedIn.

Book a call, and our team will work with you to achieve your capital raise goals.

You think LinkedIn is a professional network.

LinkedIn thinks it's TikTok with a salary requirement.

LinkedIn isn't here to help you network.

It's an advertising platform that lets you post for free.

One priority: keep people on the app.

Time on app = ad revenue.

Here's the deal:

You help LinkedIn make money → LinkedIn gives you reach.

How?

Keep people scrolling.

Content that keeps people on the platform → Algorithm rewards you.

Content that makes people swipe away in seconds → Algorithm buries you.

If you get likes and comments from your 1st-degree connections right after posting, the algorithm pushes it further.

Most syndicators post content that helps investors, not content that helps LinkedIn.

That's why their reach is dead.

You can't control the algorithm. But you control this:

1. Post helpful content with different visual styles
- Text posts. Carousels. Images. Native Videos

2. Consistency matters
- Post 5x per week minimum.

3. Be the first to reach out to investors
- If you don't reach out first, you'll lose them.

Bonus trick:

Pull your last 90 days of LinkedIn analytics.

Find your top 5 posts.

See what worked → Improve it → Replicate it.

That's your LinkedIn blueprint.

You don't need another $500 LinkedIn course.

You need 60 posts and your analytics.

That's it.

Most people spend 3 months planning their content strategy.

Meanwhile, their competitor posted 50 times and already knows exactly what works.

Strategy without data = expensive guessing.

You can't strategize with 5 posts.

You don't know how LinkedIn works for YOUR profile yet.

You don't know what YOUR audience responds to.

You're just guessing based on what some guru said works.

And guessing costs you months of zero traction.

Here's what nobody tells you:

99% of LinkedIn creators never open their analytics.

They're sitting on a goldmine. Walking right past it. Complaining they're broke.

For some accounts, selfies get 5,000 views. 

Carousels designed by pros? 100 views.

For others, it's the complete opposite.

You won't know until you have the data.

But here's the problem:

You're planning. Your competitor is testing.

You're perfecting. They're learning.

You're thinking. They're booking calls.

Months 1-3: Post. Test. Connect. Repeat.

Month 4: Open analytics. See what won. Do more of that.

Revolutionary, I know.

Stop planning. Start posting.

Week 1-8: Post 5x per week

What to post:

- Deal insight
- Personal story
- Investor Education
- Market observation
- Question to your network

That's your whole strategy. For now.

Daily: Connect with 20-30 investors

Your content needs eyeballs. Preferably ones with checkbooks.

Week 9: Open your analytics

Profile → Analytics → Posts

Find your top 5 by views + engagement.

Look for patterns:

- What format killed? (Text? Carousel? Selfie?)
- What topic resonated?
- What hook stopped the scroll?

Week 10+: Do more of what worked

Your data just built your strategy.

For free.

Without a course.

Without a guru.

Just 60 posts and some attention.

Data first. Strategy second.

Your competitor already figured this out.

"LinkedIn is saturated. Too late to start."

I heard this from a syndicator last week.

Their empty pipeline made them feel defeated.

Here's the truth about LinkedIn for capital raising:

- 70% of syndicators post inconsistently or not at all

- The ones booking 15-20 investor calls monthly have been at it for less than 6 months

- You only need 280-320 qualified connections to build a real pipeline

- Most "competition" is posting motivational quotes, not investor-focused content

Let me say that again.

You're not starting from zero.

The playbook that works:

→ Optimize your profile to attract accredited investors 
→ Use Sales Navigator to find 200 investors weekly 
→ Post 3-5x per week with trust-building content 
→ DM investors daily with value, not pitches

The problem isn't LinkedIn saturation.

The problem is believing what everyone says about LinkedIn saturation.

The best investor pipelines are built on consistency and positioning.

And you've got plenty of runway to claim that space.

What's stopping you from posting this week?
