The Seller's Guide to LinkedIn

Built from 200+ experiments. For SDRs and AEs who want to use LinkedIn productively.

Let's cut to the chase: most LinkedIn guides are BS for sellers. They tell you how to write better content or how to build a personal brand, but the truth is you've got quota to hit and you wanna figure out how to use LinkedIn to hit it.

Who's got the time to write a bunch of content and pray for results? We didn't. So we built this guide instead.

What you'll find inside:

  • How to build a knock-out profile so every prospect accepts your connection request
  • How to actually run outbound on LinkedIn without ever having to send an InMail
  • How to personalize connection requests so you break through the noise
  • How to use search to find new prospects and conversations
  • How to write content that nurtures your prospects without ever needing to build a personal brand
  • How to use Sales Navigator to structure your accounts, leads, and daily workflows
  • How to spend 30 minutes a day or less on LinkedIn and still get the most out of the network
  • How to leverage the PROACTIVE framework in social selling

It's all yours. Lifetime access. When we make updates, you get 'em. (And yes, we're making updates as we speak)

It's time to use LinkedIn for more than just research or doomscrolling. Unlock the proven method to booking meetings & building pipeline inside The Seller's Guide to LinkedIn.

A Short Preview of Our Philosophy

People think social selling has to just be content and engagement. The truth is it's much bigger. LinkedIn is a 24/7 networking platform and it requires every seller to use all the tools in their toolbelt.

The perfect social selling strategy keeps indirect and direct in perfect balance. Relying too much on direct methods turns off buyers and makes LinkedIn "just another sales channel." Relying too much on indirect methods makes you a content marketer. Nobody has time for that.

Unlike phone or email, the time to get a deal into pipeline is longer on social. That's because the crucial work of building credibility – on behalf of your company – is done before the deal enters your CRM. The trade-off? Deals close much quicker since buyers already know who you are, what you do, and how you can actually help.

And lastly: in the digital world, buyers buy from their peers. Our job is to equip you with the skills and strategies to reach prospects where they're at without them being turned off by a pitch. That's what this guide is built to do: help you become the ultimate social seller without ever needing a personal brand.

I wish my sales teams had this and I can only recommend you buy it today.

What You Need to Know

From Morgan & Nick

We bought every social selling guide on the market. We tested everything everyone recommended. And most of it was crap.

If you were a content marketer and you had a big budget or a lot of time, maybe it could work for you after 6 months. But not for a seller with the pressure of quota.

But too many LinkedIn guides for sellers was just "pitch, pitch, pitch." In all of our tests, this turned off a lot of buyers and didn't really help anyone.  

We realized that sales needed a different playbook. A playbook that actually helped them connect to prospects and buyers. A strategic guide to help them invest in the right tactics and worry less about the non-essential stuff.

This guide started in Google Docs. It was 42 pages long. It was the distilled essence of everything we knew about how to actually book meetings and build pipeline on LinkedIn.

Since then:

  • It's now hosted on Notion, instead of in Google Docs.
  • We've added videos, experiments, and plays we've tested in the field by ourselves and with the SDRs we train & teach
  • We've estimated the current version of the guide is well over 200 pages worth of content
  • We added in special modules for becoming an evangelist (only if you want to), breaking into enterprise (only if you have to), and using data for easy-breezy prospecting (you probably should).

And we continue to add to it. It's built for SDRs and AEs who want a different take on LinkedIn then the classic "connect + content" playbook that gets thrown around. Buy it today.
