Client Profile
Our client is a certified executive career coach, resume writer (CPRW, CDCS), and LinkedIn strategist with over 25 years of business experience. He specializes in helping C-level and rising leaders across IT, healthcare, and finance secure influential roles. Most of his clients had historically come through referrals and repeat business.
The Challenge
While highly respected in his industry, the client lacked a predictable and scalable lead generation system.
He was initially skeptical about using LinkedIn for outreach, especially in a high-trust service space like executive coaching.
Our Solution
We designed a fully manual, personalized LinkedIn outreach system tailored to his niche and voice. Her’s how we built it
Audited and optimized his LinkedIn profile to speak directly to his ideal audience
Developed A/B-tested messaging sequences to maximize response rates
Identified and tested multiple market segments to find the most responsive, high-converting group
Focused on relationship-based, non-automated outreach — no bots, no spam
Maintained regular feedback loops to track booked calls and conversions, adjusting targeting as needed
Results (8 months)
1.669
new targeted connections
156
qualified, executive-level leads
A repeatable client acquisition system that operates independently of referrals
ROI of over 300%, based on monthly investment and tracked revenue
Ongoing collaboration since November 2024
Why It Worked
This system succeeded because it was built for trust-based, saturated markets like executive career coaching — where authenticity matters more than reach.
Unlike mass automation tools or generic scripts, our approach uses manual audience curation and handcrafted messaging to connect with high-quality prospects in a way that feels natural and relevant.
Combined with strategic positioning, continuous testing, and a commitment to quality over quantity, this created a highly personalized funnel that stands out in today's noisy LinkedIn environment.
