In this live, unscripted YouTube session, Joe Apfelbaum demonstrates how he converts a single LinkedIn poll response into a pipeline of sales opportunities. He shows the end‑to‑end workflow: creating a poll, capturing the voter in his CRM via Evy/Evvy AI, and immediately reaching out by phone, text, and LinkedIn DM. During the call, he offers the poll participant, David, a gift of 500 pre‑qualified sales leads, and provides personalized career advice for a sales‑management role, including target company revenue, compensation expectations, and networking tips. Joe also promotes the AI Bot Summit conference and references his brother’s marketing role at Morgan & Morgan. Interspersed throughout the demo is a high‑energy chant by a secondary speaker that markets LinkedIn polls as a “rain‑making” tool. The session blends tutorial, coaching, and promotion, illustrating a repeatable lead‑generation system that leverages LinkedIn polls, AI‑driven CRM automation, and real‑time outreach.

Hi David, I'm just calling to wish you happy holidays and thank you for requesting the 500 free leads. I wanted to know more about the type of lead that you need so I can get you those 500 free leads. If you can get back to me, that would be wonderful. Thank you very much, David. I look forward to chatting with you and happy holidays. Now I'm going to send him a text message that says, would you be interested? Are you available to chat?
Okay.
And I'm going to press send. And now I'm also going to send him a DM. So how do I send him a DM? So I go into LinkedIn like this organically, and then I'm going to click on the content tab within Evy AI. I'm going to click on message here and I'm going to say, would you be open to a quick call? And I'm going to press send. Would you be open to a quick call? Okay, so I just sent him a message saying, would you be open to a quick call? He's in Florida, so the timing is probably perfect right now. I see that the last time he posted something was 2 weeks ago. It looks like he's open for work, which is amazing. I'm gonna go ahead and leave a comment on his post using Evvy AI. Evvy AI is— I'm gonna say yes. Evvy AI is a powerful tool. I'm gonna go here. Um, I called you, but it went to VM. Okay, and let's just see if he is able to talk now. And sure, he said sure, he wants to talk now. All right, so let me call him again. I'm going to press done. I'm going to call him again, and let's see if he picks up this time.
You have reached 516-779-3948.
Okay, it goes straight to voicemail. Straight to VM. Want to try to call me? All right, let's see if it works. Uh, he might end up calling me on my cell phone, so what I'm gonna do is I am going to try him from my cell. He wrote sure, he's gonna try to call me now. I'm gonna connect my Bluetooth on my cell phone to the— oh, look at that, he's calling me right now. I'm gonna press answer. Hello, hello, hello, this is Joe Apfelbaum.
How are you?
Hello, hello, hello, Mojo.
Okay, I was on LinkedIn Live just chilling, showing people how to use polls to get on conversations with people, and your name came up right away. I was gonna do a whole tutorial on how to use polls, so I said, you know what, let me just call you while I'm on LinkedIn Live and show people how 2 human beings can have a conversation and also give you some exposure so that anybody that watches this— there's probably gonna be very few people watching this 'cause it's the holidays, but anyone that watches this can like learn about you and, and you can get that exposure, you know what I mean? 'Cause you're looking for a job, it looks like, am I right? From your LinkedIn profile.
Correct.
Okay.
Correct.
What type of job are you looking for right now?
Uh, sales, sales management.
Okay, you're looking for sales and sales management, which is, by the way, every company needs that right now, David. Every company needs a sales guy and a sales manager to grow. Do you believe that sales is the lifeblood of a company?
Absolutely, of course.
So what I—
Nobody— if nobody buys the product, uh, you know, you don't have a business.
Exactly. If nobody buys a product, you don't have a business, and your sales will be limited by the amount of people you have selling. in your company and the types of CRMs that you use because you know how to use CRM platforms, you know lead sales automation tools, you know how to develop the insight into the needs, preferences, budgets of each client, and you help people be able to create financial structures that help them get those hunters and those closers and those negotiators to be able to get more clients. Am I right?
That is correct.
Amazing.
And I'm also a hunter at heart.
You're a hunter at heart. I love hunters. They're my favorite people. And the reason why they're my favorite people is because they're like me. We like people that are like us. And so when we find somebody that's like us, especially 'cause you're a father and a papa helping other entrepreneurs with savings, funding, and growth. So I want to give you 500 leads of people that you can just pick up the phone and call as a hunter or people that you can email. I want to give it to you as a gift just because you just clicked on that poll and you said you were interested. So my strategy is I create a poll, that's my strategy, and I tell people to vote on the poll. And if they're interested in voting on the poll, Then I can reach out to them and call them because, you know, you said, yes, I want 500 free leads. Some people wrote, nah, I have enough leads. Some people said, I don't even know who I'm targeting. I don't even, like, I would love leads, but I don't even know who I'm targeting. So the people that say, I don't know who I'm targeting, I basically help them with strategy. The people that have enough leads, I help them with their saving time and getting the right leads. And the people that say they want 500 free leads, I send them 500 free leads if they can tell me who they're targeting. You get what I'm saying?
Absolutely.
So who are you targeting?
Well, right now I'm targeting companies To, you know, to get a new position.
Correct. So who are those companies that you want to work with? You have a specific type of company that you want to work with right now?
I do, but it's pretty broad. It's pretty broad and it's pretty deep.
So you actually need a little more help with strategy, and I'm willing to give you that help. I'm willing to sit with you and help you with strategy because I want to place you at a job that will pay you what you're worth. You probably want between $100,000 and $150,000, that range. Am I right? Or you want more or less?
Well, that would be—
Plus incentives.
Probably as a base.
Right. Plus incentives.
Exactly. Correct. Plus, plus an upside.
Correct. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. So, so finding people that, that, um, that need to speak to you has a lot to do with the way that you show up. You already have thousands and thousands and thousands of followers on LinkedIn. I looked at your LinkedIn. It's very impressive what you've done, David. So it looks like you're very experienced.
Joe, we know each other, you know that, right?
Yeah, I know we know each other. I know we know each other, but it's impressive. It's impressive what you've done on LinkedIn. Like, what you've created on LinkedIn is a very impressive thing. It's not a small thing what you've done. You've, you've put together almost 5,000 followers. Do you know that that's a big deal?
Okay, I guess it is.
I mean, look at most people. The average person has 440 connections on LinkedIn. You have 4,920 followers. That is 10 times. You're doing 10 times better than the average person on LinkedIn. 10 times better.
Where are you located now?
I'm in New Jersey. I'm in New Jersey. But you're in Florida, right?
I'm down in Florida now, yeah.
I'm gonna be in Orlando probably the first week of January. Do you ever come to Orlando?
Almost never. I'm on the East Coast. Okay.
I'm going to a conference over there. I'm going to a conference called the AI Bot Summit. I'll send you a link to it if you decide you wanna— it's a great place to hang out. For people that are looking for salespeople, just by the way. So I'll send you the link to it so you can check it out. There's gonna be probably 170 business owners there, so it might be worth it for you to kind of go there and troll some people.
Yeah, it looks like I just got it.
Yeah, I just sent it to you. And then I'll also, for anyone watching this live, I'll put it as a comment on the live so people can get it later. But David, but David, the most important thing that you need to be doing in order for you to find a new opportunity, if I were in your position, I wanted to make 6 figures, as a base plus commission is have conversations with people that are in the position to pay you 6 figures. So I would say the company has to do a minimum of $2 million in annual revenue, maybe $5 million, maybe $10 million ideally, maybe $50 million, but they have to be in the position to be able to afford to pay you 6 figures. Someone that's making $200,000 a year can't pay you a $100,000 salary. Does that make sense?
No doubt, no doubt.
So I would—
I mean, I've already had interviews, by the way.
Amazing.
I've only been at this for a week.
It looks like a week, right?
Yeah. Yeah. A week and a half or something like that. Yeah.
Great. So as you're having interviews—
I already had some interviews. So, so I'm, I'm hopefully part of the way there, if not—
Oh, the whole way there almost.
Yeah. Correct.
Are you doing consulting along the way or are you just not interested in consulting? Like if somebody has a small business?
I am doing some consulting. Okay. I've kind of dropped the insurance business, at least for now.
Okay.
But I am— yeah, I'm still— most of my consulting is, is basically class action suits, bringing in businesses to collect money.
My brother runs marketing for Morgan& Morgan. Are you familiar with them?
Sure, sure, sure, sure. But different. Morgan& Morgan is, I think, accident.
