Hey guys, excited to join you on this adventure. Here's a bit about me: • Former mechanical engineer. • Last year, I decided to go full-time, building a boutique email marketing agency. • Been writing on LinkedIn for about 7 months. • Currently living in Bangkok. • Love being outdoors in nature, going on adventures, and cafe surfing. I love to write, my email game is strong, but I've realised there's more to it when it comes to growing a LinkedIn audience and attracting high-value clients from the platform. So I'm here to learn... I'm here to connect with like-minded people. And I'm here to help You, in any way I can. Thanks for reading. Arran.

Now, I’ve built a network of 2,832+ friends And worked on over 100 LinkedIn profiles. But here’s the wild thing I noticed… 93.01%+ of people are making this one mistake. Especially in the Featured Section. Most of you are pinning your top-performing post just because it got likes and comments. But guess what? ✅ Likes ≠ Leads ✅ Comments ≠ Conversions Your Featured Section is not your highlight reel. It's your conversion zone. So if you're not using it to drive people to: Your lead magnet Your newsletter A free resource A case study Or a discovery call link... You're leaving real money on the table. I say this with love: That viral post isn’t building your business. Start thinking strategically. Use the Featured Section like a landing page. Because profile views are free traffic and you’re wasting it. So here’s my quick tip: Before pinning anything, ask: Can this help someone take the next step with me? If not, time to change it.

Hello Growth Innovators, TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) version: 1. I mentor people that want to start or grow a career in Tech & 2. Optimizes businesses starting with their process and then by automating those processes with Salesforce-style CRMs It is a pleasure to be here. I wrote my first line of code when I was 7 on a computer my dad built 🙂 and although an entrepreneur at heart, I guess I found technology as the path to optimize anything. That is how I landed in tech, I had a few various businesses along the way in various industries, but starting 2010 I stumbled upon training and mentoring people that want to join the tech industry, specifically Salesforce. And that is what I have been doing ever since: - I trained hundreds of people on how to become Salesforce experts - 80 of those people banded together to form our own implementation agency - Almost finished writing my book on the same topic (How to become a Salesforce expert) - and overall I help the people I train about positive thinking, leadership, inspiring others, and just helping people overall - love travelling and live between San Francisco, Montreal, Zurich and sometimes Eastern Europe Now, 2025 is the year when I finally finish my book that I started last year (98% done), properly continue/restart with the podcast, and go all in into LinkedIn and Substack for Personal Brand authority as the CRM Guy! 😆 Excited to be here! What is your biggest challenge with LinkedIn (just curious)? For me, it’s lack of time and so the need to systematize!

Hey everyone 👋 I haven’t been active here for a while because of work, but I wanted to share something new I tried for the first time. Yesterday, I launched my first-ever lead magnet on LinkedIn — a playbook on LLMSEO (how to make content visible across AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini). Here’s what happened so far in 14 hours: 600+ impressions 90+ video views (average 10s watch time) 7 comments (3 people directly asked for the playbook) Small but steady profile reach outside my immediate network This might not sound like “viral” traction, but for me, it’s a big step (In fact, to many people here, this doesn't sound like traction at all). I did this solo (no automation, no team, no pods) — just my content + video walkthrough + pinned comment CTA. 👉 I’d love to know from this community: 1. How would you improve my CTA (right now it’s gated by asking people to comment)? 2. Any tips on how to drive more engagement-to-lead conversions from a first post like this?
