why we post from founder's profiles, not the company page on linkedin: linkedin's own report: individual profiles get 8x the performance. our data: individual profiles get 40x-80x the performance because of the outbound leverage a company dms you, you don't care. a person dms you get 5-10x the response rate.

ever since i started sending "looking forward to chatting!" emails before sales calls, my show up rates went through the roof

LinkedIn now lets verified companies remove false employment claims and verified members vouch for colleagues’ work histories. Who is vouching for this unrealistic profile?

the amount of money sf companies spend on marketing activations is insane. i'm happy to run around with a sign for some photos and call it a day

the real value of marketing stunts is in the content you create after not the stunt itself
showed up to the biggest tech conference in San Francisco with a large sign and no ticket.

apparently, the founders going viral on LinkedIn think it's because their content is good and not because their company is the hot one right now.

if I was a b2b founder today, i'd be going all-in on linkedin organic to win my market. however, i wouldn't hand my profile to an agency without understanding what makes content convert. i'd use performance data as a tool, not a replacement. i'd also start building my executive brand before i needed pipeline, not after. under no circumstance would i let my LinkedIn sit empty while competitors took meetings from buyers scrolling their feed. the buyer's attention belongs to whoever shows up.

if tiktok had their own ai to create content, they're crushing mr beast. they know exactly what will get you hooked. the tiktok algo cannot be defeated.

90% of our team are former founders. They won't just do what you tell them. That's why we don't tell them what to do. If you hire people who've built companies, you can't manage them like employees. So instead of assignments, we give: - context - the why behind every decision - direct access to the founders - ownership of outcomes, not tasks - permission to disagree
