Wanted to Share My Top 5 LinkedIn Goals & Resolutions for 2025: Business Term Edition 1) Slash Spam by 55%: 55% year over year reduction of the literal avalanche of unsolicited private messages I receive that reek of desperation and fear of missing the required CRM "touches" for the month. If your message starts with “Just circling back on this…” and we’ve never spoken, its NOT getting read and going directly in the trash. Please stop targeting me with your obvious template SPAM messages! 2) Hit 7,500 Followers by Q4: This would be a precise 34.7% increase in my current followers by Q4 2025. Big believer that everything should have a deadline so why not for this also. Without deadlines and goals we only have chaos! 3) Reduce the OBVIOUS ChatGPT use I see in other people's posts by 40%: Shooting for at least a 40% incremental improvement of actual writing in posting. If your posts or comments on LinkedIn are FILLED with odd dashes with no spaces "like-this", we KNOW ChatGPT wrote it. At a bare minimum don't just blindly copy/paste. Try to adjust the AI generated text to sound a LITTLE like you. Again, we know... 4) Key Performance Indicators: Hold the self proclaimed LinkedIn “Sales Gurus” accountable: There are many people posting as "sales experts" on LinkedIn. Long detailed posts giving direct sales, selling, and account management advice. Some are honestly amazing with the information they share and honest assistance they offer people they engage with. I believe they actually sold in their professional career and were responsible for a book of business. But that does not apply to all of them... If you’re going to claim you are a legit sales "expert", please back it up with a relatable, real world stories or examples that you actually encountered when you were actually selling (did you actually ever sell anything??) Stories that are relatable (and verifiable) beat fictional opinion or hypotheticals every time when people are looking to you for advice or guidance. 5) A shift towards "change management" posts: In 2024, my feed saw a noticeable increase in doom and gloom posts. Not sure why so many people seemed stuck on the worst around them rather than figuring out how they could actively make things better. Lots and lots of complaining with very little solutions offered or explored. (FYI this applies to me also) That's it and thanks for reading! What’s on your LinkedIn resolution list for the new year? #LinkedInResolutions #LeadWithPositiveIntent

Our LinkedIn inboxes are bursting. Connection requests, follow-ups, sales pitches—it’s all a blur. And your prospects? They’re dealing with the same thing. This is your chance to stand out and make 2025 the year you cut through the noise to start real, meaningful conversations. Here’s how to make it happen: 1?? Slow Down and Be Human Tech is fabulous. But, really,?automation and templates have no place in your one-to-one outreach. People know when they’re just another line in your spreadsheet. Instead, ask yourself: Why this person? What makes them interesting? Write like you’d talk to someone you actually want to hear from. 2?? Make It About Them, Not You Count the times you use “I” or “me” in your draft. If it’s more than “you” or “your,” rewrite it. Lead with their interests, not yours. Show them you’ve thought about their world, their work, or their challenges. 3?? Include Details Only a Human Would Know Skip the generic flattery. “I admire your work” doesn’t cut it. Show you’ve done your homework by referencing something specific. Something a search engine can’t find (yet). 4?? Keep It Short and Easy to Read There’s no hard-and-fast rule about sentence counts, but shorter is better. Think three to four sentences max. Most people are skimming messages on their phones, so make it scannable. 5?? Have a Reason for Reaching Out Lead with a reason that matters to them – not to you. For example: “20 CMOs I’ve spoken to recently said [specific challenge] is their top concern right now. I’m curious if this resonates with what you’re seeing.” It’s thoughtful, relevant, and positions you as someone who’s paying attention—not just pitching. It feels like the start of a great conversation. Here’s your challenge for the week: Write your next outreach message using these tips. Start small—pick one person you’ve been meaning to connect with and give it a try today. You might be surprised at how much better responses feel when they’re real. Let’s make this the year of conversations that matter. What’s your go-to strategy for getting responses? Share in the comments—I’d love to know!

3 Secret-Hacks to Find Warm Prospects on LinkedIn Finding warm leads isn’t about following the crowd—it’s about thinking differently. We’ve all heard the typical advice: — Target active LinkedIn users — Stick to your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP) Sure, these are foundational, but they don’t always indicate genuine interest. If you want to stand out and truly connect with warm prospects, try these lesser-known hacks: 1?? Target Service Providers Use LinkedIn’s “Services” tab to discover potential leads offering relevant services. — How to do it: Head to the search bar > Click “Services” > Enter keywords for the services you want. 2?? Explore Dissatisfied Course Reviewers Find professionals who rated relevant courses poorly and match your ICP. — How to do it: Search for niche-specific courses, filter by 1-3 star reviews, and connect. 3?? Reach Out to Hiring Companies Decision-makers at companies hiring in your field are often in active growth mode. — How to do it: Use LinkedIn Jobs to filter for companies hiring within your niche and engage with their leaders. My LinkedIn Lead Generation Motto: Work smarter, not harder. By thinking outside the box, you’ll not only find warm prospects—you’ll build authentic relationships. P.S. How many new connections do you make per week? Let me know in the comments!

?? No One Talks About This, But It’s Why Your LinkedIn Lead Generation Isn’t Working ?? We all know LinkedIn is the place for professional networking and lead generation. But if you’re spending hours crafting posts, sending connection requests, and following up with zero results, let me ask you this: Are you treating LinkedIn like a billboard or like a conversation? :) Here’s the hard truth: ?? Posting generic content isn’t enough. ?? Sending 100 connection requests with a looong sales pitch doesn’t work. ?? And that automated “Hey, I noticed we share mutual connections…” message? Nope. Trust me. The real reason LinkedIn lead generation fails is this: You’re not building trust first. Here’s what to do instead: ?? Optimize Your Profile (Your First Impression) Your LinkedIn profile isn’t a CV—it’s your landing page. => Speak directly to your ideal client. => Clearly (and shortly) explain who you help and how you help them. => Use a clear CTA in your headline or About section (e.g., “Let’s talk if you’re struggling with X.”). ?? Engage Before You Pitch No one walks into a room of strangers and immediately start selling, right? Treat LinkedIn the same way. => Engage with their posts first—leave thoughtful comments. => Send a connection request that’s genuine and personalised. ?? Post Content That Solves Problems People aren’t scrolling LinkedIn for entertainment—they’re looking for value. => Share actionable tips that address their pain points. => Highlight client success stories (without being overly self-promotional). => Use storytelling to humanize your approach and stand out in a sea of bland posts. When you stop treating LinkedIn as a numbers game and start focusing on authentic, value-driven interactions, everything shifts. People don’t buy just because of a clever DM—they buy because you succeeded in building trust with them. (Image generated using AI tools)

INCOMING RANT Spammy sales messages. I've never seen a positive post about them. The whole, "let's connect" followed shortly by "buy my ??". Then a few more "Why haven't you bought my ?? yet". Firstly this was taught by LinkedIn 'gurus' as a DIY sales job, now it's become an industry! People now spam me, to ask me to let them spam others on my behalf! No. Just no. They promise a certain number of leads per week, but imagine the damage they're doing to you name (some even use your profile to do this). I for one hate unsolicited sales messages, so I won't buy from them. In fact, I usually disconnect with such people. So, I won't do this or let others do it on my behalf. I have many (now regular) clients from LinkedIn, who I wouldn't have had had I spammed them. They'd have disconnected with me in a heartbeat. So, for all those who don't get enough leads from LinkedIn, what can you do? How do you get work from here without spamming people? If you're serious, read this - https://lnkd.in/ek3UZBHv - that's how I get over 80% of new business from LinkedIn. No strings attached. Yes, it's a longer game, but it's honest, authentic, and sustainable. Unlike the tactics of the bloke who assured me he "doesn't spam people" after 4 unsolicited, spammy sales messages, one after the other. #LinkedIn #SpreadsheetSolutions #Marketing

90% of decision-makers ignore cold outreach on LinkedIn. Why? Because most of it feels like spam. If you're stuck in the "connect-pitch-repeat" cycle, you're burning bridges, not building them.? Here’s how to flip the game: 1?? Engage before connect Before you even think about hitting “Connect,” engage with your prospect’s posts. Drop thoughtful comments on their content. This puts you on their radar without looking like just another salesperson. 2?? No pitch hard Here’s a hack: when you message, don’t sell. Instead, ask about a specific challenge they’re facing. For example, "Hey [Name], saw you’re scaling your sales team. What’s been your biggest roadblock so far?" That turns cold outreach into a real conversation. 3?? Turn your profile into a resource hub Prospects shouldn’t see your profile and think, “Oh, another salesperson.” They should see value immediately. Add a featured section with case studies, client wins, or actionable tips relevant to your niche. 4?? Use video for intros?? Here’s an out-of-the-box hack: instead of the usual text-based intro, send a short personalized video. It’s memorable and shows effort. Trust me, people notice when you go the extra mile.

Don't bring your #coldemail sequence to #Linkedin. Here is what to do instead: 1?? inMail is not another delivery channel to go around spam filters. All you are getting is a huge network of burned contacts. 2?? Cold outbound (aka "Go-To-Market") is TRANSACTIONAL. You talk to people who DON'T know you. → The PERFECT MESSAGE is all that matters. Cold email, cold calling, SEO, paid traffic - all depends on engineering the perfect message. Go follow Jen Allen-Knuth to learn how to do that, right 3?? Social Selling (aka "Go-To-Network") is PERSONAL. You talk to people who KNOW you (or know who you are). → The PERFECT PERSON is all that matters. If you talk to the right person, in the right role, at the right company...you can start a conversation about ANYTHING. It will ALWAYS be a relevant conversation. Here is how you can execute this in Linkedin: ?? Tactical Networking. Start sending (non spammy, non salesy) connection requests to the right people. 25 requests on 365 days will add up to 9,125 connection requests (= ~5000 new contacts / year) ?? Tactical Commenting. Become a familiar face and name by commenting on big accounts and interesting topics. You name and face will start populating the timelines of your new contacts. ?? Lead Harvesting. Start monitoring all your profile visitors, connection acceptors, comment likes and people who engage with you. List and qualify them. Who is a "perfect person" to talk to? From here it's straightforward traditional sales skills. Start conversations. Work the room. Be helpful. Be genuine. Be interested. PS: Oh, and on long spammy inmails...I am only reading the last paragraph. Never even looked at that opener.
