Technical Customer Support

L1NDA - The Next Gen Work Platform

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. Since I was on the forefront of launching a new tech-product into the market in January 2019, I've also gained experience in the fields of acquiring, onboarding, and activation of new customers. 

During this period I’ve noticed that I naturally transitioned from delivering reactive support into proactively operating on the needs of the customers. I did this in close collaboration with (key)-account management, product development, engineering and marketing.

Customer Success Specialist

Guidion

As Team Manager of the servicedesk, I was responsible for managing and directing my team of approx. 25/30 on-call workers. Besides this I was heavily involved in optimising our processes and workflows in order to get better results. 

Starting this job without any significant experience, I've gained really valuable skills in the fields of leadership, empathy and coaching. 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.

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.

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?”

Over the past few years, I’ve developed a unique approach for non-technical folks to stand out in data.

Before all this…

I spent a decade navigating career changes and climbing the corporate ladder. I bootstrapped my way into the data field without going back to school. I've seen firsthand what works and what doesn't when changing careers, especially into data field.

💥 Matt Mikes mentorship was key to my successful pivot into data science. His insightful strategies enriched my portfolio and LinkedIn presence, directly leading to my new position..” - Justin D., Data Scientist

We’ll work together to reshape your career narrative and build professional confidence. You’ll know exactly what steps to take—both big and small—toward making your data career dreams a reality. 

I don’t promise shortcuts, but I do promise clarity and strategy that works.

I’ve logged thousands of hours helping people pivot, through content, 1:1, and group coaching. I’ve refined hundreds of resumes and profiles to highlight what works. I’ve guided over 100 people into roles they once thought unattainable.

I’ve put in the work so you can succeed with confidence.

To be real…

I’m bringing my years of expertise and practical knowledge of the data field to each session. Your success isn’t just my goal—it’s my mission.

Appreciate you reading. You rock!

Black Rock Coffee Bar's onboarding for Home Office employees includes 3 days of barista training.

That means every remote employee in the back-end of the company gets to walk in the shoes of those in the front-end.

It's an incredible concept.

Not only was it a ton of fun, but it also connected me with those I support and those who will be reading some of my reports on a daily and weekly basis.

I've never seen another company do this, but I'm 100% sold on the idea. Company leaders should take note.

I was a barista about 12 years ago, so I had a blast getting behind the bar again. I was the oldest person working there by 10-14 years 😂 but everyone was very hospitable, supportive, and a pleasure to work with.

BRCB has a special and unique culture and I've already felt like I fit right in.

It's been a full circle experience for me. I loved being a barista in college and considered working in the coffee biz my whole life. Now, I get to work for a coffee company again, but on a different side of the business.

My job was listed as "in office" in the posting.

But when I read the job description, it said "hybrid."

I was open to hybrid depending on the arrangement, so I applied. Plus it was a company I genuinely wanted to work for.

When I interviewed, I found out that "hybrid" to them meant coming into the office 1-2x a MONTH.

I was totally ok with that! 

Pretty ideal to me actually.

(Plus going into the office meant working out of the roastery. Sign me up!)

Basically, mostly remote but have to be local.

So I guess the lesson here is don't write-off an opportunity just because it says in-office or hybrid. If it looks like a good role, apply and understand what those terms mean to them. Every company is different.

PS - what's your company's arrangement? Is it something unique like this?

Data analytics in a nutshell.

Junior analyst: "Why isn't this code working?"

Senior analyst: "Why is this code working?"

You'll always be confused, but for different reasons.

One thing in life is certain. 

If someone says “quick data pull,” you’re about to rebuild the entire data model.

If there's one thing I've learned about LinkedIn after 3+ years of writing here, it's this.

Do not over think your posts.

Seriously. That post that's taking you 2 hours to write will not perform as well as the post that will take you 15 minutes to write.

There are trends, but there are no real rules. As soon as you learn all of the "best practices," there will be someone who is defying all of them and still crushing it.

This is more true now than ever.

No one actually knows what "works" anymore.

Your personality, and the quality of what you say is more important than how you say it. 

Focus on action, getting more information, and making a connection with your audience. This will be more valuable than the wording of your next post.

PS - I still struggle with overthinking all the time. But just try to let go. It'll serve you well.

My PL-300 prep video just hit 100K views!

And it's a top search result in YT for the topic.

I made this video 16 months ago, so I love seeing it continue it's momentum, even now.

This is a huge reason why I love YT. Evergreen content.

If you're planning to take the Microsoft PL-300 soon for Power BI or hoping to take it in the near future, check out the vid!

Being a good employee isn't what gets you promoted.

It's being trustworthy.

Ultimately, the decision to give someone more responsibility comes down to, "Can we trust this person to do/lead/manage xyz?"

I've been promoted at various points in my career and have been involved in promoting others. Being a person who is on top of their workload, taking initiative, and leading, have always been core contributors.

So yes, be good at your work. Be technically savvy.

But also make an impact. Take ownership.

Show you can be trusted with more.

Because these will be the greatest markers of success.

I've tried many SQL courses over the years. There's a lot of them.

But from what I've seen, the best ones have this:

1. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 - learning SQL requires getting your reps in. A good course will give you lots of practice
   
2. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 - there are SO many courses that pad learning time to increase the length of the course. You want to learn the good stuff without unnecessary fluff.
   
3. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 - I've seen courses ruined by the simple fact that I can't stand the instructor. Sounds silly but it makes a difference.

Some of my favorite courses are ones I came across years ago. I still recommend these. But there are newer resources that I 100% recommend as well.

In my latest vid, I break down 5 of my top resources.

This week, I streamed Miro's Canvas 25 event.

I actually love seeing how AI is reshaping collaboration and project planning. It's such a great use case for AI.

The hardest part with project planning for me is always putting those ideas "on paper" and creating structure around them. And tbh, not too many platforms nail this.

Miro has always been great at this, but AI is making it even easier, which I love to see.

Here are some of my key takeaways:

1. Sidekicks

These are AI agents that live on the canvas. Think of it like a teammate who can ideate and project plan with you. But it also helps you take those ideas and materialize them on the canvas.

2. Flows

This allows you to execute every step of the plan directly on the canvas with team collaboration. That means teams don't need to leave the canvas into their own silo's to complete their share of the work.

3. AI Connections

Miro can now directly integrate with tools like Claude Code, Github Copilot, Cursor, VS Code (and many more) so that it has instant context on what your org is doing. 

Collaboration is a key part of what I do as an analyst and developer, so I love tools like these. It'll be interesting to see how these changes continue evolving planning and project collaboration.

Highly recommend checking out the keynotes. You can watch them on Miro’s YT channel here:

A lot of data courses are time wasters.

But the good ones will help you learn and grow faster.

Last week Miro unveiled their new AI capability Sidekicks at their #Canvas25 event.

If you missed it, Sidekicks are AI agents that live directly in the canvas. 

Think of them like teammates who already understands your workflow.

You can create your own Sidekicks, equip them with brand guidelines, project briefs, or methodologies, and they’ll help you brainstorm, structure ideas, or even guide the next steps of a project.

What I love about this concept is that it moves AI from being a passive assistant to an active collaborator.

It's a part of your process. Not just answering prompts.

As someone who’s always building digital products and systems for my business, I plan to use Sidekicks to:

- Plan course and product roadmaps
- Keep all my project aligned to the same framework
- Summarize meeting notes and surface action items

Miro has always been great for collaboration.

But this feels like the start of true AI-augmented project planning.

Right now, you can actually join Miro’s waitlist to get early access to AI features like Sidekicks:
