Growing up with a Mom that only had one lung taught me a lot about what real adversity was.

Although we didn’t have much, our Mom showed us love and taught us how to be kind & empathetic.

I’ve had 4 pivotal moments in my life:

1. Getting stung by 53 Bees in 4th grade.

2. Being beaten and falsely arrested by police at 12.

3. Surviving a high speed accident and getting 52 staples on both legs at 19.

4. Making the decision to leave a 15 year career to be a full time entrepreneur.

The last one happened today, the day I’m writing this new bio.

I’ve experienced some adversity in my life like most of us, but I still don’t feel that I’ve faced adversity yet, knowing what my Mom went through in her short 54 years on this planet.

Less than two years ago when I started creating content on LinkedIn, everything changed. 

I started to realize that I can make a difference in people’s lives by helping them see things they don’t see in themselves.

Truly making a positive impact and having people walk away different then when they met you is so humbling and a true honor.

Once I realized why I was born, I knew I had to go all in on my mission of helping people Blaze their own trail in business & life.

That’s why I started the Blaze Your Own Trail Podcast 4 years ago as well.

At Blaze Your Own Trail Consulting, LLC I help entrepreneurs Blaze their own trail through strategic Consulting Services, 1:1 & Group Coaching & Digital Courses.

Troy Hipolito

Founder - LinkedIn Accelerator Program | B2Bs, Owners, Coaches, & Entrepreneurs

💁🏻The Not-So-Boring LinkedIn Guy 🤷🏽‍♀️| LinkedIn Influencer | App Developer | Business Coach | LinkedIn Outreach & Event Management | Content Creation | Build Relationships w/High-Value Clients on Multiple Channels

Have you ever looked at LinkedIn & said “What the heck are people doing here? How can I make LinkedIn a major part of my strategy?”

Do I create a DM strategy, build email lists, or create a LIVE show or monthly event, how about content and posts?

You are not the only one. Previously, I’ve asked that, myself.

Let me tell you a little story... 

I am of mixed race. My mother is from Switzerland & my father is Filipino. My previous title was "Top Swissappino Game Designer in the World"

And I have been a CAD draftsman, proudly served in the US Army, creative programmer, UI/UX designer, PM, entrepreneur, & single father

Had an award-winning agency for gamification. I was lucky enough to develop & support interesting applications for both Fortune 500 companies & startups. From Harry Potter fan-based virtual world, & Xbox mobile app to Coca-Cola branded sites & applications

We were doing well & it all crashed. For the most part, the large companies stopped using agencies & brought projects in-house

We had to figure out something quickly

I reached out to a few colleagues that were doing well. They told me about building long-term relationships through LinkedIn & creating a daily process

Yeah, I was not that great in relationships. I was a terrible dater 😂. But over the years I began to understand🤔 So I took the relationship advice & systems experience and then combined them into a blended customized experience

Used what I learned & started THE TROY AGENCY💥

🤷🏽‍♀️  WHAT I CAN HELP YOU WITH

MY STORY:  A military veteran & single father. Love family & good people. I also enjoy connecting the dots, running proper introductions, & solving business problems for people like you.

I have an award-winning IT company (www.isointeractive.com) that helps hundreds of clients to make projects successful & special. Includes Gamification, Mobile Apps, Games, Virtual Words, Web Programing/systems. These are for large Fortune companies like Coca-Cola, Xbox, Target, Wrigley's, Harry Potter Fans, & smaller startups. 

However, most of our work came from helping other agencies. Then many of those larger clients stop using agencies altogether & started pulling talent in-house. This devastated the agency model.

So we had to learn how to date. Properly date for business - with LinkedIn. This is where our journey took us. It worked so well we started "The Troy Agency" & created...

Interview: Dr Pat - Driving Business in the Health Industry with Strategy

On the next Troy Show: Troy Hipolito will be interviewing Dr. Pat Boulogne. An entrepreneur, doctor, and increasing the growth and productivity of small, health-related businesses. 

And the tools like SKOOP and the methods she uses to drive an additional 50% to 200% of growth and success.

Interview: Dr Pat - Driving Business in the Health Industry with Strategy

I've learned a powerful lesson in business: you often get exactly what you pay for. 

And when an "expert" seems too good to be true, priced way too low, it's time to dig a little deeper. 

Check their offer, look at their actual clients, were they recomneded and definitely scrutinize their LinkedIn profile. 🤔

Last year, I made a tough but necessary decision to let go of some clients who were paying around $1K/month. 

Why? 

Because they had $10K/month problems. 

Trying to solve those complex issues with limited resources just wasn't sustainable or fair to anyone. It meant I couldn't deliver the real value they needed. 🤷🏽‍♂️

So, I've revamped my programs and built multiple tiers of value. 

★ Free: Posts, Online Events, Guides, and Initial Consultation
★ Low Cost: My SKOOP SaaS - our LinkedIn Video Sales and Relationship Tool
★ Flagship Offerings: Our Multichannel 90-day PLUS Client Acquisition Program

Now, I charge a rate that allows me to actually do the work effectively and sustainably. My clients receive comprehensive programs, solid strategies, hands-on training, and crucial multichannel opportunities. This setup empowers them to build genuine relationships and drive the volume required for true success. ✅

It's about shifting from a transactional mindset to a partnership. Investing in the right expertise means investing in solutions that truly move the needle. Don't be afraid to walk away from deals that don't align with what you need to succeed and what you can realistically deliver. It’s better to have fewer, high-impact clients than many that drain your resources and compromise your results. ✨


But the video is kinda funny though, huh? 😆


#BusinessStrategy #ClientAcquisition #ValueProposition

3 steps Dr. Pat uses to increase her coaching business (with personalized video).

An interview on how Dr. Pat. increases her clients' medical practice by 63% using basic strategies and SKOOP for LinkedIn and email video communications. 

👋 We had an absolute blast yesterday on "The Troy Show" with the amazing Dr. Pat Boulogne. Seriously, her insights were 🔥 and I knew I had to share them with you all. 

FYI: Link to the replay in the comments 💬


👩🏻‍⚕️ Dr. Pat is – a consultant, executive coach, wellness strategist, and mindset mastery expert who's been helping high-achievers, elite athletes, and busy professionals optimize their health, boost performance, and drive productivity without the burnout. With over 30 years in the game, she's seen it all and knows how to help you sustain peak performance. ✨

During our chat, Dr. Pat broke down 3 killer strategies she uses to grow her coaching business, and honestly, they're so simple yet incredibly effective. She shared how she's helped clients increase their medical practices by a whopping 63% using basic strategies and SKOOP for her LinkedIn video communications! 🤯


Here’s a peek at how she’s crushing it:

▶️ Personalized Video Outreach on LinkedIn with Skoop - Instant Video: 
Dr. Pat uses SKOOP to send short, authentic video messages to connect with professionals. Instead of long, generic text, she crafts a "sandwich" method: a few lines of text, a quick video talking to them (mentioning their name!), and then a title with their name on it. This hyper-personalization builds real relationships and moves conversations forward. It’s no wonder 80-95% of people prefer this over long text messages! ✅

▶️ Leveraging Email Blasts with Video: 
Combining SKOOP with email platforms like SendFox means Dr. Pat can easily embed engaging videos into her newsletters and announcements. This injects that personal, human element that static images just can't match. 

▶️ Strategic Networking and Community Building with SKOOP: 
Skoop - Instant Video has been instrumental for Dr. Pat in connecting with like-minded professionals and high-performers who are serious about growth and well-being. It’s all about building authentic relationships within a community that values intentional living and peak performance. This visibility and connection have been huge for expanding her reach and attracting clients who are a perfect fit for her expertise. ⭐

She's all about making every interaction count and bridging the gap between what you want to say and how you can say it most compellingly. It's about building relationships and driving business forward in a way that truly stands out.

3 steps to increase business using SKOOP

My introductions to you …

👋 Troy Hipolito here, stepping out of my usual flow to share a bit of my journey with you all. 😉

✈️ My journey on this platform wasn't just a casual exploration; it started with a genuine need. Back in the day, my IT gamification company was doing well, obtaining projects from larger agencies who, in turn, got them from Fortune 500 giants. 

Then, they started funneling those projects internally, and suddenly, the work we loved was out of reach. That’s when LinkedIn became our lifeline to find new opportunities.

I quickly realized I wasn't exactly a natural "dater" – in life and in business! I had to learn to take my time, truly get to know people, and focus on delivering what they valued, not just what I thought they needed. This slow-dating approach, focusing on genuine connection and value, became the bedrock of our business.


✨ Our Strategic Client Acquisition Blueprint:

★ The 90-Day Client Acquisition Program: 
We've built and refined this program to be incredibly effective. It’s not about a quick fix; it’s about creating sustainable success.

★ Customized Systems & Training: 
We don't just hand off a plan; we create tailored systems and provide thorough training. Our goal is to empower clients to own and drive their own success long-term.

★ Free Event Alert! I host free online events where we'll dive deeper into these strategies. The link to join is in the comments below – come connect with like-minded professionals!


👨🏻‍🍼 Beyond the business hustle, I’m a devoted single dad. Honestly, my family is my anchor, and the love and support they provide are what have kept me going. It’s a privilege to be able to support them in return.


🥃 A little bit about me outside of work: 
I have a fondness for dark liquors – blackberry whiskey lemonade, anyone?  I recently transplanted to Las Vegas from Atlanta, Georgia, and I'm eager to connect with the community and always on the lookout for exciting IT projects. 


👨🏼‍💻 And yes, you guessed it – Skoop - Instant Video is a big part of my world! 
At 53, I made it happen. We saw a gap in the market, particularly on LinkedIn, and developed software that converts businesses 6 times better than text and generates videos on the fly, driving sales conversions, and even includes an incredibly user-friendly CRM. 


💪🏼 I’m also committed to a daily (really other every day) fitness routine – 50 push-ups, sit-ups, and air squats, and sometimes a nice 40-minute walk. It’s a challenge I started not too long ago, and I’m sticking with it! 

I’m a self-proclaimed nerd at heart and genuinely love seeing people win.

So, whether you want to share your own journey, explore a collaboration, or just connect, please reach out. I’m always excited to meet new people and learn something new. Let’s make some amazing things happen together! 

Hopefully, I’ll see you at my next or even past LinkedIn LIVE events! 🚀

#BusinessDevelopment #ClientAcquisition #Entrepreneurship

Creating more engaging emails and posts. The breakdown is explained in the video, but the idea for this post came from a question in a previous comment.

Sometimes the best content comes from the most unexpected places – like a question from a follower! ✨ 

Recently, I posted something, and within an hour, a great question popped up that got me thinking. 

Nancy asked if Skoop could be used like Gmail for creating actual emails. And my answer? A resounding YES, but with a twist! 🤔

It got me thinking about how the core functionality of creating compelling messages is so similar, whether it's a LinkedIn post or an email. The structure, the flow, the goal of grabbing attention – it's all there. The main difference? The hook.


Here’s how that question led to a whole new piece of content:

★ The Spark: Nancy’s question about using Skoop with Gmail was spot on. It highlighted the versatility of the tool Skoop - Instant Video and the underlying principles of good communication.

★ The Demonstration: 
I decided the best way to explain was to show. So, I recorded a quick Skoop video demonstrating how the AI can reformat text within Gmail, just like it does for LinkedIn posts. While it works well, I noticed it’s not quite as seamless as the integration we’ve built directly into LinkedIn.

★ The Skoop Advantage: 
The real magic happens when Skoop absorbs your LinkedIn persona – your writing style, your profile information, even public internet data. It understands you*. This allows it to craft content that feels authentically yours, and it’s something we’re bringing even further into the Skoop application with our new design.

★ The Deeper Dive: 
This whole interaction made me realize how powerful it is to leverage your existing content and persona across different platforms. It’s not just about drafting an email; it’s about extending your brand’s voice and message consistently.

★ The Value Proposition: 
For those curious about getting started with Skoop, we have a wealth of resources. Check out the helper videos within the app for about 25 different tutorials, or head over to our YouTube channel at youtube.com/atScoopApp. We’ve got playlists dedicated to tutorials that cover all the ins and outs, showing you exactly how to maximize its potential. ✅

By listening to your audience and demonstrating the practical applications of your solutions, you can turn a simple question into valuable content that serves everyone. Keep those questions coming! 🚀

Watch now: Understanding Multichannel Marketing Systems and Strategies.

I recently had several meetings discussing how to establish authentic ways to drive business. 

A significant part of it is how you communicate across multiple channels where your prospects reside. 

So had an event with thousands of views, and it breaks down those concepts significantly. 

Feel free to watch the replay. ↓

And we all know it is easy to get caught up in just racking up followers and likes on LinkedIn, right? We see all these numbers and think, "Okay, that's success!" But lately, I've been realizing that true wins on this platform aren't just about how many people see your stuff, but how deeply you connect with them. 🤔 It's about building actual relationships that can lead to genuine business opportunities. 🤝

Think about it: you can have a massive follower count, but if none of those people actually know, like, or trust you, what's it good for? 🤷🏻‍♂️ The real gold is in those meaningful conversations that spark over time. It's about showing up consistently, offering value, and being a real human being, not just another profile in the feed. ✨

Here's how I've been shifting my focus, and it's made a HUGE difference:

▶️ Shift from "Reach" to "Relationship": Instead of obsessing over how many eyeballs are on a post, I'm asking, "How many actual conversations did this spark?" Even a few genuine interactions are worth more than thousands of passive views. ✅

▶️ Personalize Your Outreach: Generic messages get ignored. Period. Sending a quick, personalized video or a thoughtful message that references something specific about them? That’s how you stand out. It shows you've actually taken the time. 🚀 (Remember the "sandwich method" we talked about? Text/video/text? Still a winner! 🥪)

▶️ Be Generous with Value: Share what you know, offer help, and be a resource. People will remember those who helped them without asking for anything in return. That's how you build goodwill. ⭐

▶️ Engage Authentically: When someone comments on your post, don't just "like" it. Respond thoughtfully. Ask follow-up questions. Show you're actually listening. It’s the small, consistent efforts that build strong bonds. 🤟🏼

This isn't about chasing vanity metrics anymore. It's about building a community, fostering trust, and creating a network of people who genuinely want to engage with you and what you do. That’s the secret sauce! 😉

3 rules to approach the weekend

The weekend often brings a moment of reflection, doesn't it? 

It's a natural time to pause and consider how we navigate our weeks and what truly matters. 


Here's what I find works:

★ First, during the week, aim to work both good and hard. If you can't manage both, prioritize working good. Because honestly, working hard without purpose or quality just doesn't add up to much. It's about effectiveness, not just effort. ✅

★ Second, take a moment to genuinely thank the universe for the time you have on this planet. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind, but a little gratitude can shift your entire outlook. It reminds you of the bigger picture and all the opportunities available.

★ Third, and this is crucial, when it's possible, create a clear separation between your work and your personal life. Cherish your loved ones. If you don't have loved ones currently, then love yourself fiercely! That good energy and those positive actions will naturally attract your future connections. It's amazing how that works. 🚀

This approach isn't about being lazy; it's about being intentional with our energy and our time. It's about building a life that's not just productive, but also deeply fulfilling.


Always always open for a conversation. You never know where it can lead. My booking link is right on my LinkedIn profile (hint, hint).  :-)


Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

#WeekendVibes #WorkLifeBalance #Gratitude

You have to be "Mentally Thick" as an entrepreneur. And you will take the occasional beating. 

It is not really what happens to you, it is how you handle it. 

You know, in sales, it's easy to get knocked down. 

I’ve been there. 

Seven deals lined up, all looking promising, then BAM – they all fall through, and the money just… vanishes. 

It’s a massive hit to your confidence, that’s for sure. 🤯 

You have to develop a certain thickness, a resilience, to push past that and remind yourself that maybe, just maybe, those weren't the right clients, or maybe you missed something in the process.

Don't dwell on the "what ifs" but focus on improvement. 

If you can refine your service or product based on those experiences, that’s where the real growth happens. It’s that constant drive to be better, to learn from every setback, that separates those who eventually succeed from those who give up. ✨

Here’s a breakdown of how I approach navigating those tough sales cycles, supporting current clients, and keeping the momentum going:

★ KEEPING YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME ✅
→   Acknowledge the Blow: It's okay to feel discouraged. Sales is tough, and rejection is part of the game. Don't beat yourself up.
→  The Mental Thickening: You need to cultivate a mindset that sees these setbacks as learning opportunities, not failures. Every deal that doesn't close is a data point.
→  Process Over Personality: Shift your focus from personal blame to analyzing the sales process itself. Where did things break down? What can be improved for next time? Also, using a proven method for sales systems on multiple channels really does help drive your brand and business (we do this for our own clients' success). 

★ LEARNING FROM THE FALLOUT 💥
→  Client Fit Analysis: Were these clients truly a good fit for your offering? Sometimes, a "no" is actually a "yes" to finding a better-aligned customer.
→  Process Refinement: Look at every step of your sales cycle. Was there a miscommunication? Was the value proposition not clear enough? Was the onboarding process too complex?
→  Continuous Improvement: Use the insights gained to tweak your approach, your materials, and your understanding of your ideal client. This iterative process is crucial for long-term success.

★ PUSHING FORWARD 🚀
→  Focus on the Next Opportunity: Once you’ve learned and adjusted, you have to move on. Dwelling on the past will only hold you back.
→  Belief in the Vision: Remember why you started. Your drive and belief in what you offer are what will carry you through the difficult patches.
→  Celebrate Small Wins: Acknowledge every small step forward. This builds momentum and reinforces that positive progress is being made.

Don't let a few rough patches derail your journey. 

Keep refining, keep pushing, and keep your eyes on the prize. 


What's one tough sales lesson that has made you stronger? 👇

#SalesStrategy #Resilience #BusinessGrowth

Shifting gears from “selling” to “buying” has been a major change for how I approach B2B relationships. 

It’s all about creating an environment where clients naturally want to connect with you. Think of it like this: instead of chasing them, you’re building a space they want to enter. ✨

My methodology focuses on this shift, with a few core pillars:

★ THE 3-TIER VALUE STRUCTURE©️:
This is about building trust before the big ask.

- Tier 1: Free Value:
Think high-quality content that solves immediate problems and positions you as a go-to expert.
- Tier 2: Low-Cost Value:
Offering lower-risk entry points, like a valuable tool or a discounted intro session.
- Tier 3: Premium Offering:
This becomes the natural next step once that trust and value are established.

★ FOCUS ON TRANSFORMATION, NOT FEATURES:
Stop talking about tasks and hours. Instead, paint a picture of the "before" and "after." What's the ultimate aspiration, the real business outcome they're dreaming of? That's what truly resonates. 🚀

★ HYPER-PERSONALIZED OUTREACH:
Volume and generic scripts are out. It's about using tools for personalized video or intentional messaging. When prospects feel genuinely "seen," the conversation shifts from pressure to possibility.

★ HUMANIZING THE PROFESSIONAL:
Share personal insights and fresh perspectives. Act as a trusted advisor, suggesting solutions that genuinely help, even if they aren't your own. It's about being a helpful consultant, not a pushy salesperson. ✅

★ MULTICHANNEL SYSTEMS (example guide in the comments below):
Coordinate across 5–8 marketing channels using a strategic roadmap. Consistency is key, showing up where your buyer actually spends their time.

It’s a journey of building genuine connections where people know, like, and trust you enough to feel comfortable coming to you.

📆 Let's talk if this is something that would support your business and efforts to build better relationships and increase paying clients by providing you with great results.

🗣️ A conversation is free.
 

What’s one way you’re currently building authentic connections in your business? 👇

Don't need to be perfect. You just need to start...

This goes for you, coaches, consultants, SaaS providers, service-based entrepreneurial businesses, and even dinosaurs (lol see the video). 

You know, it's easy to look at successful people and think they had it all figured out from day one. 

The truth is, most groundbreaking ideas start with very little. 

That spark of an idea, a bit of grit, and a whole lot of belief is often the only "equipment" needed. ✨

I remember back in the day when my gamification business was really taking off, hitting close to that million-dollar year mark. For many, that's the dream. But I knew there had to be an easier, more scalable way to build and connect. 

So, I dove headfirst into creating Skoop - Instant Video. Was it easy? Nope. LOL. 

I created multichannel sales and relationship systems to not only pay the bills but to give a structure to my own campaigns for consulting and for my software SKOOP 🚀

Clients use our systems and strategies and increase their vetted booked meetings, paying clients, and overall stability of their business. We call it "The 90-day PLUS Client Acquisition Program."

Think about it – how many innovations or businesses were initially met with skepticism? The ones that change the world aren't built with a complete toolkit from the start. They're built with willpower, experience, and an unwavering belief in the vision. 

The key is connecting the dots with the right people and having the resilience to keep moving forward.

★ You don't need everything. You just need the basics to start.
★ Your willpower, experience, and belief are the true scaling agents.
★ Learn to connect the dots, work with the right people, and move forward.

It takes that relentless push, that refusal to accept the status quo, to bridge the gap between a wild idea and a triumphant reality. So, be a little "insane" and dare to pursue something even when it seems illogical to others. 


But you know what makes it easier?...

Having help, partners, strategy, systems, and learning how to provide what is valuable to your audience and prospects. 

If you need a conversation about that, feel free to schedule a call (link on my LinkedIn profile). Always open to support if it is relevant to you. 


Have a fantastic week!
