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%.
 
Interested in building this out for your Agency? DM me "grow" and I'll show you the gaps stopping you from turning LinkedIn into  7 figure channel.

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.

How to get it: 

1/ Connect with me 2/ Comment below and I'll DM you everything

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

P.SS The perplexity lead magnet will be coming over today/ tomorrow... keep those eyes peeled!

Veggi 365

Veggi365, a startup that I had the privilege of Founding, was a venture close to my heart. Our mission was simple: "to revolutionize the way people access fresh Veggies & Fruits."

We offered two unique concepts that set us apart in the market:

👉Speedy Delivery: In an era where fast-paced lives demanded quick solutions, our first concept focused on delivering fresh vegetables and fruits to our customers' doorsteps within an impressive timeframe of 1-1.5 hours. We understood the importance of convenience and strived to make daily life a little bit easier.

👉The Veggi Cart Experience: We took a unique approach to online shopping for fresh produce. Customers could not only order individual items but also have an entire cart of fresh veggies and fruits brought to their doorstep and giving them the experience of choosing items from their hands. What set this concept apart was the ability for neighbors to see our branded Veggi365 cart, generating interest and expanding our customer base. This novel shopping experience allowed customers to handpick their product, just as if they were at a traditional market.

While Veggi 365 closed its doors in November 2022, our journey was filled with valuable lessons and memorable experiences. We were dedicated to bringing top-quality produce to your doorstep, and we sincerely appreciate your support throughout our Veggi365 adventure. Thank you for being a part of our story. 🌽🍅🥦 #StartUpJourney

Founder And Ceo at HEATBLAST DIGITAL MARKETING AGENCY | Thrive Business Online With Digital Marketing

I’m a passionate digital marketer and entrepreneur who genuinely loves the craft of marketing. For me, marketing isn't just a profession's been a calling since my school days, where I first began helping local businesses like bakeries and food stores get more visibility. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a thriving career and, eventually, a business.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working across various verticals, industries, and platforms-always with a hands-on, growth-driven approach. One of my most impactful experiences was with HeyShape, where I joined as a Growth Marketing Consultant when they were generating $100K/month in revenue. Through focused brand positioning, strategic growth planning, and social-first storytelling, I helped them scale to nearly $1M/month in revenue - a journey I’m incredibly proud of.

I also founded Veggi365, a startup built to revolutionize how people shop for fruits and vegetables. We offered two standout features:

Speedy Delivery: Delivering fresh produce to doorsteps in under 90 minutes.

The Veggi Cart Experience: A live, mobile vegetable market where customers could handpick items from their doorsteps - creating a buzz in neighborhoods and building community-driven brand awareness.

Although Veggi365 eventually concluded its journey, it left behind a valuable legacy and taught me powerful lessons in startup building, brand innovation, and customer delight.

Today, I run Toplo Technology and lead Heatblast Digital Marketing Agency, where I work with brands I believe in - guiding them to define their purpose, grow their online presence, and connect with the right audience in meaningful, scalable ways.

Whether it’s personal branding, growth strategy, or performance-driven marketing, I approach every client project with a deep desire to deliver results and long-term impact.

Let’s connect if you’re looking to build not just a business-but a brand.
