As a Customer Success Specialist at L1NDA, I was responsible for delivering first-line support to our customers and providing them with the best knowledge of our products.

My style of leadership is one of participation and I firmly believe in the principle of 'lead by example'. I see myself as somebody that’s not afraid to take the lead and always with critical point of view.

An ex-client makes $500,000/mo from content.

But here's the crazy part:

He does 0 outbound DMs.

ZERO.

Everyone’s trying to overcomplicate content.

You don’t need:

𐄂 A $3K/mo lead-gen agency
𐄂 The $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription
𐄂 4 hours a day “being active” on LinkedIn

I just dropped a masterclass showing how anyone can write content that attracts ideal clients — without needing a massive audience or paid ghostwriter.

This is the same system I use (and teach clients) to turn posts into inbound leads — one that has generated over $2.5m in client revenue.

In this training I cover:

☑ AI workflows to create content fast
☑ Posts that turn attention into clients
☑ Crafting authority with 1 key strategy
☑ Real examples that closed 5-figure deals
☑ DM frameworks that convert without pitching

Copy these prompts to build your 6-agent marketing team ↓

Comment “AGENTS” & I’ll send you the full system breakdown.

I’ve spent months testing this complete lead-gen system:

1 project prompt + 6 agents = 1 week of LinkedIn Content

The workflow looks like this:

You start with a master project prompt inside ChatGPT. 
That’s the foundation the system runs on.
Then each agent executes:

Agent #1 — The Strategist
→ Breaks down your offers, positioning, proof, and tone — feeding the system everything it needs to create LinkedIn content that actually fits your brand.

Agent #2 — The Researcher
→ Pulls real ICP pains, language, and objections from Reddit, forums, and comment threads — fueling content that hits home and feels real.

Agent #3 — The Architect
→ Converts those pains + proof into a structured content pipeline: ideas, CTAs, and angles all mapped to your funnel.

Agent #4 — The Critic
→ Pressure-tests every hook, outline, and draft for proof and voice — only LinkedIn-ready ideas make it through.

Agent #5 — The Writer
→ Rebuilds drafts into scroll-stopping posts with punchy openings, clean flow, and your exact tone baked in.

Agent #6 — The Editor
→ Runs the final sweep: fact-check, polish, and approve — leaving you with 7 ready-to-publish posts for the week.

That’s the stack.
1 system gets you 6 agents.
This is a week of content on autopilot.

Your LinkedIn Headline has 1 purpose (not 5)

Yet, most people do it wrong. Steal our strategy ↓

↳ Comment “PROFILE” & I send you our 5-page strategy document.

On LinkedIn, your headline is a sales hook.

With one job:

Pull someone in from the feed to your profile.

How to craft a headline that get you inbound leads:

✔ Identify WHO you help → be ultra-specific
✔ Clarify the WHAT → use measurable results
✔ Explain the HOW → share your unique method
✔ Remove the #1 Frustration → remove objections
✔ Include a CTA → make it easy to take the next step

Remember:

A strong headline makes prospects curious to learn more.

Your profile is where you do the rest of the selling.

I’ve created a 5-page LinkedIn Strategy to position yourself as the authority on LinkedIn.

Including a 60-day plan to drive inbound leads, so you can rely on cold DMs and endlessly chasing begging people.

80% of your leads will come from 20% of your content.

80% of your growth will come from 20% of your priorities.

80% of your revenue will come from 20% of your effort.

But most founders keep trying to “do more”:

– More posts
– More projects
– More busywork

You don’t need to do more.
You need to do more of what works.

The algorithm doesn’t build your business.

Systems do.

And once you know what the 20% is —
you double down, build around it, and delete the rest.

That’s where focus starts to pay like leverage.

I’ve put together the ultimate starter pack for inbound leads on LinkedIn. This is perfect for coaches and founders who want to close more high-ticket clients. This includes 8 GPTs, 5 playbooks and countless templates.

It also burns trust with your prospects.

Today, I’m sharing it with you for FREE – get access ↓

↳ Comment ‘PLAYBOOK’ and I’ll send it over.

When I was stuck under $10k/month, I thought more content was the solution.

I can tell you this:

It wasn’t.

Yes, content is crucial to get inbound, but it’s not the full picture.

So I invested over $25k to work with some of the leading experts.

Now, our business is making multiple 5 figures in profit per month.

(profit, not revenue)

At this level, these are the strategies I use.

I’ve broken it down into 3 systems.

System 1: How to generate leads using content
→ Stop chasing. Start attracting the right people

System 2: What people get wrong about content
→ Virality = cash (with the right system in place)

System 3: How to talk to your ideal clients
→ Oldschool Linkedin Profile don’t work anymore

“What’s the best content TYPE for inbound leads?”

Most founders are stuck in what I call "The Activity Trap".

They’re on LinkedIn every day:

DMing.
Posting.
Commenting.

Trying to be everywhere, still not getting consistent clients.

They’ve been told “show up and it’ll work.” But they’re doing everything and nothing’s compounding.

Instead of building leverage, they’re trapped in a cycle of rented results, ghostwritten content, and cold DMs that never convert.

Eventually they burn out:

- No time to sell
- No energy to market
- No leverage to scale unless they outsource again and hope it works

When you stop feeding the machine, the pipeline dies.

There’s a better way.

We install your Leverage Engine — a Trust-Led Outbound system powered by AI that turns LinkedIn into a client acquisition channel you own.

Everything runs in under 30 minutes a day.

With Atticus, we’ve helped 75+ B2B founders, consultants and experts:

→ Escape the Activity Trap
→ Scale without headcount
→ Drive 5–10 new deals per month from LinkedIn

Over $120M in pipeline booked without ghostwriters, appointment setters, or agency retainers.

Here’s how it works:

1. Attract

We install an AI content agent trained on your voice and expertise, built from 70+ top performers.
No ghostwriters. You own the engine.

2. Convert

A behind-the-scenes system moves prospects from cold to calendar.
By the time they book, they already trust you.

3. Activate

We build and install the full system in 60 days, fully trained, operational, and ready to scale inside your business.

Real wins from the system:

V, agency owner → 5–8 qualified opportunities/month + Forbes feature + six figures closed

B, M&A founder → $750K in sales-qualified pipeline

J, executive coach → 62 calls + $144K pipeline + price increase from $33K to $44K

J, startup consultant → 20 qualified calls in 20 days + $150K pipeline

B, career coach → 12 qualified leads in 8 days post-activation

This is for founders ready to shift from activity-trapped operators to leveraged dealmakers — where every post and DM builds trust, not just traffic.

The queen of personal branding… Amelia Sordell 🔥. $4M+ in revenue. 246,000 followers. Built entirely from showing up online as herself.

So I studied her last 100 days of posts to decode the blueprint.

Here’s your breakdown of how to turn content into clients:

POST STRUCTURE

Every post is a rallying cry. She’s not trying to educate. She’s trying to wake people up.

It’s not:

“Here’s how to build a brand”

It’s:

“You’re scared to post? So was I. But I hit publish and it changed my life”

Her structure repeats:

→ Outdated Belief – “Nobody wants to hear about your personal life on LinkedIn”

→ New Playbook – Your personality is your competitive advantage

→ Proof – Amelia shows up, selfie-first, story-first

It’s raw. Real. And builds trust at scale.

FUNNEL AUDIT

Here’s the path every piece of content quietly fuels:

Post brings organic traffic → Drives to Zoom training → Converts viewer → Nurtures via newsletter

It’s a tight loop.

Content that guides you down a funnel without you realizing it.

POV AUDIT

What makes Amelia’s brand land?

→ Contrarian by default – She rejects best practices and industry BS
→ Relatable – Content feels human, not polished
→ Vulnerable – Shares a lot of personal story
→ Self-shot videos + selfies – Build real familiarity
→ Zero apologies – Calls out trolls
→ Confidence as a service – Empowers others to own their voice

Result?

People don’t just follow... they trust her

POSTING STRATEGY

Amelia posts every day

And every post fits a clear funnel

A. TOFU (Top-of-Funnel)

→ Contrarian takes that break fear-based mindsets
“Your content doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to be you”

→ Vulnerable stories that dismantle the biggest objection: Fear of judgment

She leads by example. And that builds real connection...

B. MOFU (Middle-of-Funnel)

→ Frameworks with a twist

“This 1 tactic got 1.3M views—and no one’s using it”

→ Authority posts that punch up

“Seen a company post on your LinkedIn feed lately? Me neither”

→ Unexpected analogies and reframes

“I used my personal brand formula on my dating profile. Met the love of my life”

Her content blends proof with curiosity, making her audience want to know more.
C. BOFU (Bottom-of-Funnel)

She doesn’t lean heavily on testimonials. She doesn’t need to.

Her book is the funnel...

"The Personal Branding Playbook" builds more trust than any sales page could

It’s $20 lead gen that converts readers into superfans

- Evergreen
- High-value
- Works without her lifting a finger

PROTIP:

Amelia rarely gives away the “how”

She focuses on the what and the why—because that’s what builds desire

Every MOFU and BOFU post creates one burning question:

“How does she actually do this?”

Which drives DMs, sign-ups, and sales—without a pitch

The result?

She’s not just growing a business

She’s building authority, demand, and trust—on autopilot

And the wild part?

Any founder could replicate this.

CEO @ Atticus | AI sales systems for founders | 5–10 deals/month from LinkedIn in <​30 mins/day I $120M+ pipeline generated for clients | #4 in Growth & Lead Gen in the UK

I’m not a McKinsey consultant. And I never went to business school. But I charge $1,000 an hour for consulting service businesses. And I do it all while working 6 hours a day and not getting stuck in delivery.

It didn’t happen overnight. Here’s my strange journey over the last 90 days which led us to close $260k with a team of 4 people and AI.

February 2025: The pit of despair

We hit a revenue high of $60,000 a month. I punched the air. Little did I know my world was about to be smashed to pieces.

I rang up my accountant.

Me: “We hit $20,000 profit this month, right?”
 Him: “You made $4,000.”

 Me: “What do you mean we made $4,000? We closed $60,000!”

I had gathered high fixed costs. A team of 10. Half underutilized.

I had a road to Damascus moment. What’s the point of all this stress just to take home an employee’s salary?

March 2025:

Things were getting better we reduce team size to 5 people (that was super tough and was horrible decision but necessary), but churn was killing us. Every time we closed a client, an older one left.

To make matters worse, I was closing maybe a $25,000 deal once every 2 months. Growth was stagnant.

Flash back to one call with Alex Boyd I’ll never forget.

Him: “Luke, are you sure this is the route you want to go down?”

I replied, “I’m trying, bro.”

He followed up: “Kellen is making $70k a month consulting. He’s selling product market fit messaging. Why don’t you look at that?”

I sank lower in my chair and ended the call.

April 2025: Evolution.

I drafted what became the Atticus AI sales system in 3 days. Booked 3 calls. Closed my first $10,000 deal.

We made more in 60 days than in 6 months of done-for-you work. It was more fun to deliver and better for clients because they could own their lead gen.

May to October 2025: New normal.

Growth exploded. Close rate hit 30 percent. We signed 4 to 5 new clients a month. Profit jumped from $10k to $20k, $30k, even $50k. 

The real kicker was seeing how fast clients grew.

 Joya closed $78,000 in one month. She 7x’d her investment and is now free to grow her company, not at the mercy of retainers.

An executive coach closed her first $12,000 deal within 18 days of using the system.

As results improved, everything became easier. 

November: Looking forward.

Growth came because I became a leveraged operator. Now we’re expanding capacity and hiring a salesperson to free me from sales.

My big goal is to hit consistent $100k profit months by the end of Q1.

If this resonated with you, I just shared a 15-minute masterclass on how to become a leveraged operator and add $50k to $100k a month to your service business using LinkedIn and AI. Watch it here: https://lnkd.in/gGQN3i5J

My competitors copy everything I do.  And I love it. 

Here's why:

A photocopier can never be an artist. 

I'll keep innovating. 

I'll keep pushing and experimenting with new offers.

I'll keep coming up with new, innovative ways to service my clients. 

This is exactly why I have no issue showing my playbooks online in detail for my future clients. 

Because my competitors are always playing catch-up on what's working.

And when they copy me... It's already too late.

So don't worry about sharing your secrets online. 

Because there's only one you. 

A photocopier can never be an artist. 

Remember that.

In Februry I had a record-breaking month.
$60,000 in revenue. Know what I took home?

$4,000.

And a truckload of stress.

12 team members. Slack channels pinging all day.
Endless client requests, no real leverage.

My agency life looked successful from the outside.

But inside? I was trapped.

Every day I would get bursts of anxiety thinking about the fact I needed to hit $35k of rev every month to keep the lights on.

My hands would sweat whenever an email came in. I would imagine all my clients churning at the same time and having to build from scratch.

I felt so stressed half the time chasing clients in DMs I could spit blood.

So I made a shift.
Cut the team.

Rebuilt everything around a system that utterly removed the worst parts of a service-based business:

- No more bloated team
- No more texts on Saturdays from clients
- No more not knowing if we would close deals month on month
- No more nights looking at the ceiling wondering if we’d make payroll that month
- No more shrinking margins getting capped at the same income level as you scale

Six months later:

→ We hit a consequentive 100k months
→ 250k contract closed in q3
→ 14 new clients in 4 months 
→ 90% profit margins
→ No sales team
→ I work 6 hours a day, max
→ Client acquisition system takes me 30 mins daily

I didn’t get here by doing more.

I got here by having the right engine behind my business.

So if you’re a founder/coach stuck in the grind thinking 

“this is just the cost of growth”… 

I promise you it’s not.

There’s another way.

DM me with “new way”.

And I’ll show you how+why

-

PS - Snap was taken on my 3rd holiday of the year where I took my parents to the Carribean. This was only possible due to the new systems we have in the business outlined above. I’ve taken more rest time this year than all the other 3 years in business combined and we still grew by 70%. That is the reason I will bully each and every one of you into building a leveraged operator business. I want you to experience the same freedom I feel. After all this the entire reason you started your service business right?

No alternative text description for this image

All of my highest-earning clients do this:
 (It’s not what you think)

They co-create results with us.

Maybe this sounds familiar:

- Put a lead gen system in place
- Work with an agency
- Rely on the agency to get leads
- Trust they’re doing a good job
- Listen to the bs of “we just need more time”

All while you, the business owner, are haemorrhaging cash.

You assumed hiring experts would give you the “magic lead machine.”

But how could that ever be the case when you came into the whole process passive… pointing the finger of blame when things didn’t go your way?

Ring a bell?

Here’s the thing:

You are the expert on your business and market.
A coach or agency can only accelerate you by identifying the constraints keeping you stuck.

You still need to show up 100% and co-create the results.

I’ve built LinkedIn sales systems for 100+ service based business clients like you.

Here’s the kicker:
 Your success will depend on your ability to…

- Take our systems and ACTUALLY use them
- Give us the time and attention to understand your business deeply
- Keep an open mind when we try new approaches

We’ll help you:

- Spot the gaps in your positioning that are quietly repelling dream clients. Pinpoint the 20% of your company’s message and personal story that drives 80% of your sales.

- Build an AI content agent that captures your unique voice. So you can own premium ghostwritten content in-house. You’ll know exactly what to post each day to grow revenue.
 Content stops being a chore. You save your weekends. And you can create everything in just 30 minutes a week. Your family (and your sanity) will thank you. 😉

- Construct an AI outbound system that clones you in the DMs. No more guilt about not doing enough biz dev. Just one inbox. New convos daily. One hour a week. And your pipeline never dries up… no matter how slammed you get.

All I need from you is 100% intensity.
 And in 90 days, your business will look completely different.

So…
 Do you wanna stay passive in your results?
 Or come play with the big boys and take your service business to the next level?

If you’re still running your business on referrals in 2025, you’re cooked. 3 insights from working with 100+ service business owners that predict your dark future if things don’t change:

1. You run your business on hope.

When I speak to founders, they suck their teeth at the “what happens if the referrals dry up” question.

The truth is you’re relying on the goodwill of other people to scale your business.

But what happens when the goodwill doesn’t come in time after losing that huge anchor client?

You’re toast.

2. Your business is at the whims of macroeconomic headwinds in 2025.

This year I’ve spoken to founders who told me, “Yes, we lost half of revenue because the market changed with tariffs.”

Whilst founders who diversified beyond referrals experienced growth on all fronts.

With the sky darkening on the US economy, how long do you wanna worry about what the market is doing?

3. Referrals are a tax on your growth because they are completely unscalable as an acquisition model.

Here’s why… chances are you’re getting lumpy referral flow.

Some months you get loads of business and then it’s all quiet on the western front.

That’s what I call the "Referral tax".

Because to scale you need one thing… predictability.

This is one of the main reasons why service business owners get capped at $250k profit a year.

Just literally because they don’t have deals coming in the hopper to backfill client churn.

Referrals are an amazing benefit of having a working service business.

But relying on them as your main acquisition channel in 2025 might mean by 2026 you won’t be here.

Want to learn how the 20+ leveraged operators I’m working with are scaling predictably in 2025 without headcount and 90% margins?

You’re wasting your time on LinkedIn, and it's why your pipeline's drier than the Sahara Desert. Every week, I talk to founders who tell me the same thing:
 
“I spend hours posting, commenting, and DMing people on here. But I’m barely seeing any traction.”
 
Sound familiar?
 
The problem is, most of that time you're spending on LinkedIn isn’t moving the needle. You're actually wasting precious hours you could be spending on other higher-leverage tasks for your business.
 
After auditing 100+ LinkedIn accounts, I've found that almost every founder’s day breaks down like this:
 
→ 70% stuck in busy work: Posting for vanity engagement, replying to comments, chasing cold DMs.
 
→ 20% on meaningful growth activities: Writing content that attracts the right buyers, starting high-value conversations, nurturing leads.
 
→ 10% actually converting those opportunities into deals.
 
The result? A full calendar... but an empty pipeline.
 
The founders who win on LinkedIn aren’t working harder than you. They’ve just built systems that compound results from the RIGHT 20% of their effort.
 
One of our clients cut their weekly LinkedIn time from 7 hours a week to just 30 minutes, and booked 8 qualified calls the following week.
 
Nothing new added. Just a smarter allocation of effort.
 
Want to start getting similar results for yourself?
 
I built a LinkedIn 80/20 Time Audit that helps you see exactly where your time is going, and how to fix it so you can start generating more pipeline from your LI.
 
Inside, you'll find:
 
- The 20% of actions that drive 80% of results
- The 3 biggest time-wasters draining your pipeline
- A simple worksheet to rebuild your LinkedIn in <30 minutes a day
 
Just comment the word "TIME" and I’ll send it your way.

Everyone’s chasing more leads. But the service businesses making $50k+ profit a month aren’t playing that game at all. Watch this:
