CEO @ Grow Solo I help the C-suite turn industry expertise into predictable pipeline

There are two ways agency founders try to turn LinkedIn into a reliable source of clients.



One is by guessing. Posting when there is time. Relying on referrals and hoping the next month is a good one.



The other is by building a system that creates steady conversations, even when client work gets busy.



Our clients choose the second.



→ Joya Dass (Founder, Women’s Leadership Lab)



The problem:



- She spent hours in the DMs to book a few calls.

- Content happened on weekends.

- When delivery picked up, sales stopped.



Some months were strong. Others were quiet.



Even in good months, there was stress about where the next client would come from.



What we did:



We built a simple LinkedIn content system she could run in house. No ghostwriter or agency retainer dependency.



We shifted her content from generic how to posts to insight driven thinking.



That changed the conversations. People in her network showed up aligned and ready to buy.



We added a content led outbound system powered by a setter we hited and trained. The system kept working while she focused on delivery.



Results:



- Revenue grew from $150k to $300k.

- Sales became predictable.

- The pressure eased.



→ Jonathan Crowder (Founder, Founders Ally)



The problem:



- No time for content.

- Unpredictable sales calls.

- Leads with no budget.

- No sales background. A 10 percent close rate.



What we did:



We removed Jonathan as the bottleneck. 



We built a content system using AI supported by his real thinking. It sounded like him, not software.



Trust was built before the call. Outbound went from 10% to 40% response rates.



We focused prospecting on real buying moments, like recent funding to catch buyers at the right time.



We simplified his sales process. Clear outcomes. Clear cost of inaction was communicated to his buyers.



Results:



- Meetings went from 3-5 a month to 10-15 sales qualifed leads a month.

- A visible pipeline. Increase to a 25 percent close rate.

- $300k in pipeline in 60 days.

- $30k in new revenue closed.



→ Brian Dukes (COO, Exit Wise)



The problem



- Ovelry dependent on referrals.

- No LinkedIn playbook.

- No time to write.



What we did



- We clarified positioning.

- Simplified the offer.

- Built a content engine.



Then we added outbound from the founder profile.



Everything was owned and run internally.



Results:



- Consistent posting machine.

- 500 to 6500 ICP followers.

- $740,000 in LinkedIn-driven revenue over two years.



We have helped 100+ founder led agencies replace unpredictable growth with systems they understand and control.



If this feels familiar send me a DM with "Grow", we should talk.

Founder

We help executives to build and monetize their brand on linkedin by scaling your content and turning it into leads, authority and thought leadership.

How?

Engagement + DM flows = Qualified meetings. 

Done with you. Done for you.

I close 50% of my discovery calls with 5-figure clients. Here's the exact founder profile funnel that does it:
 
Most agency founders are stuck in "random acts of growth".
 
They post and hear crickets.
They buy expensive tools.
They hire an agency and blow there marketing budget.

Nothing works.
 
So pipeline stays unpredictable.

Referrals dry up.
 
And LinkedIn gets written off as something that "doesn't work for our industry."
 
It's not the channel. It's the absence of a system.
 
The founders winning right now have stopped chasing tactics and built a Founder-Led Demand System.
 
One engine where content, trust, and outbound compound together.
 
Here's exactly how mine works.
 
TOP OF FUNNEL
 
Tools: LinkedIn, Perplexity, Claude
 
My founder brand on LinkedIn is the engine.
 
Every month it pulls the right people in. Follows, likes, connections, profile views from founders who match my ICP exactly.

By the time they reach out, they already know me. They already trust me.
 
That means every call I take is with someone already in consideration. I'm not selling to strangers.
 
But that only happens when your positioning is locked in and your content is engineered to take someone from skeptical to ready to buy.
 
Most founders post randomly and wonder why nothing converts.
 
MIDDLE OF FUNNEL
 
Tools: YouTube
 
LinkedIn gets them in the door. YouTube closes the trust gap.
 
I've never gone viral. My videos are lucky to get 500 views.
 
But every single client I've signed in the last 6 months said YouTube was one of the main reasons they hired me.
 
Why? Facetime. There's nothing that builds trust faster than watching someone think out loud on camera for 20 minutes.
 
Every video is built around a buying objection I hear on calls. I post once a week and drive LinkedIn traffic to it. Our setter uses videos in the DMs before calls, between discovery and close, and when leads go cold.
 
It's the best sales tool for trust building I have.
 
BOTTOM OF FUNNEL
 
Tools: Valley AI
 
This is where most agencies leave money on the table. They generate interest and have no system to convert it.
 
We run warm outbound to every ICP founder who engages with content. Likes, comments, profile views, lead magnet requests. All of it.
 
A human is in the loop at every stage. We qualify hard before anything hits the calendar.

That's why close rate is 50%.

Stop sending DMs that get ignored. I booked 1,000+ sales calls from LinkedIn and made $1.3M doing. Steal the exact script ↓

Comment and I'll send it to you.

I used to spend hours crafting the "perfect" DM. Tweaking. Rewriting. Getting ghosted anyway and following up like a desperate ex.

Now I use a 5-message sequence I've tested for 3 years straight. Instead of 18 rejections out of 20, we are booking 20-40 calls a month.

Every conversation feels like it came from them.

Here's what's inside:

- DM 1: Open with context, not a pitch
- DM 2: Follow up without sounding desperate
- DM 3: Uncover their pain in natural conversation
- DM 4: Transition to a call without it feeling forced
- DM 5: Make it stupid easy to book the meeting
- The complete walkthrough...  all 5 messages in action
- 5 mistakes that kill your DM conversion rate
- How to customise the script for your ICP

BONUS: DM Personalisation Framework that gets 80% response rates.
It took me 2 years and 1,000+ DMs to build. Takes you 60 seconds to steal.

Stop using LinkedIn DMs like a cold email channel. 

Start using them like a trust-building machine.

P.S. We must be connected... otherwise LinkedIn blocks the message.

I've been using the same prompt for UI/UX design for 6 months.

Saved me 40+ hours of back-and-forth.

No more:
→ Make it pop
→ Something's off, but I can't explain
→ Can you try a different vibe?

The problem with most design prompts:

They're too vague.

Design a modern SaaS landing page.
AI tools give you generic layouts.
You give feedback.
It guesses again.

10 iterations later, you're frustrated.

Here's what changed everything:

I built one master prompt that includes:
→ Target audience psychology
→ Conversion goals
→ Brand personality
→ Design constraints
→ Technical specs
→ Expected output format

What it does differently:

Instead of getting random design ideas, you get:
✓ Structured layouts with reasoning
✓ Copy suggestions based on audience
✓ Color psychology recommendations
✓ CTA placement with conversion logic
✓ Mobile-first considerations
✓ Accessibility built in

The best part?

You customize it once for your brand.
Then reuse it for:
→ Landing pages
→ Pricing pages
→ Feature sections
→ Email designs
→ Ad creatives

ChatGPT and Claude Prompts for UI/UX designers

I watched 47 agency websites lose visitors in real-time last month.

Want to know the worst part?

They had no idea it was happening.

So I built a 5-minute audit we run before every VictorFlow project.

Here's what kills conversions (in order):

1. Speed Test (First 3 seconds)
• Your site loads in 8 seconds? 40% already gone
• Open GTmetrix right now
• Anything over 3 seconds = bleeding money
• Speed isn't nice-to-have, it's make-or-break

2. The "So What?" Test (Next 5 seconds)
• Open your homepage
• Set a timer for 5 seconds
• Can visitors tell what you do AND why they care?
• If not, you're invisible to them

3. Mobile Check (60% of your traffic)
• Pull out your phone right now
• Load your site
• Looks broken? That's 60% of revenue gone
• Most people will never see your desktop version

4. Trust Factor (Homepage only)
• Social proof on page 3? Doesn't count
• Testimonials, client logos, real numbers
• Homepage or it doesn't exist
• First impression = only impression

5. Form Friction (Every field counts)
• Count your contact form fields
• Every extra field = 10% fewer submissions
• Keep it under 4 fields max
• Name, email, message. That's it.

6. Case Study Reality (Show numbers)
• "We helped them grow" = means nothing
• "Increased revenue by $47K in 90 days" = believable
• Vague promises vs specific proof
• Always pick specific

Here's my challenge to you:

Open your website right now on your phone.
Be honest - would YOU fill out that contact form?

Drop "AUDIT" below and I'll personally review your site (first 5 only - I'm doing these manually)

Let's find what's costing you clients.

#WebDesign

Why do 9 out of 10 agency websites look amazing but convert like garbage?
I've audited over 200 sites in the past year.

We burned $25K on a website redesign.

Our leads dropped 40%.

That phone call still haunts me.

A client called, voice tight with stress:
"We just launched the new site. Leads are down. Way down."

They'd spent months on this.

- Picked the perfect colors.
- Argued over fonts.
- Made it look like a million bucks.

And it tanked their business.

Here's What Actually Happened

The agency made it pretty.
But they broke what was working:

Before the redesign:
1. Clear headline that spoke to pain points
2. CTA above the fold
3. Simple path to booking a call

After the redesign:
❌ Vague "creative" messaging
❌ CTA buried three scrolls down
❌ Fancy animations that hid the actual offer

They designed for awards.
Not for conversions.

The Hard Truth Nobody Tells You

You don't need a redesign.
You need a conversion audit.

Before you spend a single dollar, answer these:

✓ What's our current conversion rate?
✓ Where exactly do visitors bounce?
✓ What made our best clients say yes?
✓ Are we solving problems or showing off?

At VictorFlow, we've taken unoptimized $5K websites and turned them into client magnets.

No redesign.
Just strategic tweaks:

→ Rewrite the hero section to speak to actual pain
→ Move CTAs where eyes actually look
→ Add trust signals that matter
→ Remove friction from the buying process

The Question That Changes Everything

Before you call that agency...
Before you sign that redesign contract...

Ask yourself:
"Am I fixing how it looks, or how it converts?"

Because pretty websites win design awards.
Strategic websites win clients.

The biggest myth about Webflow vs custom code?

It depends on your target audience.

That’s not the real deciding factor.

We see this debate all the time:
Webflow or custom-coded websites?

The choice isn’t about who your users are.
It’s about what the website needs to do.

Use Webflow when:

1️⃣ Speed matters (launch fast, iterate faster)
2️⃣ Marketing teams need control without dev dependency
3️⃣ SEO, performance, and CMS updates should be simple
4️⃣ You want clean, scalable front-end without heavy engineering
5️⃣ Conversion optimization is an ongoing process

Webflow shines when flexibility + speed + performance matter.

Use Custom Code when:

1️⃣ You’re building complex logic or workflows
2️⃣ The product relies heavily on real-time data or heavy computation
3️⃣ You need deep backend integrations
4️⃣ Security or compliance demands full control
5️⃣ The website behaves more like a product than a marketing site

Custom code shines when engineering complexity is the core value.

The real question you should ask:

- Do we need to move fast or build deep?
- Is this a marketing engine or a product engine?
- Who needs to manage it daily, marketers or developers?

Most high-performing teams don’t pick sides.
They use Webflow for speed and custom code where it truly matters.

It’s not about your target audience.

It’s about your goals.

The re

Is your SaaS website in the top 10% or bottom 90%?

I analyzed 60+ SaaS sites to find out.

The top performers make 3x more revenue.

Here's the data:

𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞-𝐭𝐨-𝐂𝐓𝐀:

• Top 10%: 3.2 seconds
• Bottom 90%: 12+ seconds

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝𝐬:

• Top 10%: 3 fields
• Bottom 90%: 7.5 fields

𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬:

• Top 10%: 8+ with real numbers
• Bottom 90%: 2 generic testimonials

𝐋𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝:

• Top 10%: Under 2.5 seconds
• Bottom 90%: 5-9 seconds

𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭:

• Top 10%: 90% have it
• Bottom 90%: 15% have it

But here's what ACTUALLY separates them:

The top 10% treat their website like a product.

→ They A/B test headlines.
→ They track heat maps.
→ They iterate monthly.

The bottom 90%?

• They launch and forget.
• Your competition isn't better at design.
• They're better at optimization.
