How To Build A Lead-Generating Brand on LinkedIn
If you’re running a B2B business, not building your brand on LinkedIn is financially irresponsible.
It makes you money.
It gets you more customers.
But how do you do it?
There’s 3 parts:
Post consistently
Talk more with existing connections
Connect more with new people

This is the same method I use every day, and will likely cross 10k followers in a few weeks:

More on each step below.
#1 Consistently Post What You Know
I did 75Hard a long time ago, and realized you can affect the biggest change in your life if you just do the basic things… over and over and over again.
The key here is to pick a number of posts you’re going to publish every week, and just do it.
Share what you know. News. What’s exciting to you. What you’re up to.
Yes, you will have moments when you cringe.
Yes, you will have posts that completely flop.
Yes, you will often have no ideas.
But you have to do it.
Over time, you get more comfortable.
Over time, you find your voice.
And you just don’t stop.
You WILL get business this way, but that’s not enough.

#2 Catch up with Existing Connections
I do not believe showing up in feeds as an expert is enough.
I do not believe just DMing people telling what you do is enough.
You need to have 1:1 conversations with those you know, so that you source more leads and referrals.
It’s not about selling to your network, it’s letting them know who you help and how. Some of them will become your leads, and some of them will send you business.
And it works:
Almost all my referrals have come from people I’ve had 1:1 conversations with in the last year
All 3 people that booked their spots in How to Run Successful LinkedIn Ads for B2B SaaS and Services are those I’ve talked to 1:1 (in-person or virtually) in the last 3 months
Here’s the step-by-strep guide to have more conversations with your network:
Go through your LinkedIn connections and list those (friends, connections, acquaintances) you’d want to have an informal conversation with
Reach out to 3-5 every week and ask for a catch-up
Use this type of language:
Hey X! Hope all is well. Would love to catch up with you and hear what’s going on
Long time X! Would love to catch up virtually sometime
An example:

If you don’t do this, you’re not deepening trust with those you’re connected with.
And lastly, you need to connect with more peeps 👇
#3 Connect with New People
The best new sources of connecting with new people are going to events and networking online.
At Events: Whenever I go to an event and have a conversation, I end it with: Hey (name), are you on LinkedIn? and add them.
And you can just send them a follow-up after:

Pre-Event: Whenever I’m going to an event and the guest list is public, I reach out to a few interesting people and connect with them.
If you want to do the same, just send them a connection request with a note that says: Hey (name), looking forward to meeting you at (event)!

Networking online: You can just connect with people you don’t know.
As long as you give a reason for connecting, people will connect:

I’ll likely ask them for a catch up after a few exchanged messages, and build more relationships.
Make A Plan, and Commit
You don’t have to be perfect in your planning or execution.
You just have to be directionally correct and execute consistently enough over the long-term- even if you f*** up (I do).
Here’s what you can consider:
Commit to X posts every week
Commit to asking X people for catch up meetings every week
Commit to connecting with X new people every week
And save this!
