How to find CEOs on the INC5000 2024 list on LinkedIn - 145 LinkedIn Live 2024 with Joe Apfelbaum

Just posted this video here. I'm gonna give myself a little heart. My name is Joe Apfelbaum, CEO of Ajax Union, and I teach people how to use artificial intelligence and LinkedIn to get more results. And this video is gonna be about the Ink 5000, but let's listen in to this video quickly. I'm gonna turn on the audio. Let's go. A podcast about Evie AI.

So you wanna know about Evie AI? Clearly you're wondering like, is this thing legit?

Is it worth it?

Is it worth your time?

We're gonna figure that out today. Based on the mountain of material you've given us. Oh yeah. It seems like you're really serious about upping your LinkedIn game. Mm-hmm.

So let's unpack exactly what Evvy AI brings to the table. Evvy AI, it's kind of like having this like personal assistant.

Now just, just take a moment and realize that all those people in that video are avatars. That's number one. They're AI avatars. The voices are created for free. Google created it. Um, and the content, everything was created by AI. So that's just insane what you can do.

But their entire focus is your success on LinkedIn.

Laser focused.

Creating content, optimizing your profile, even a little bit of networking help. All with AI.

Let's talk about AVAI's connections dashboard.

Okay.

So that brings me to the connections dashboard. This is, this is just insane. I'm going to click on these 3 dots over here. I'm going to hit copy link to post. I'm going to click on messaging. And then I'm going to say, AI created that video. Okay. I'm going to go to Lexi. I'm going to copy this. I'm going to send it. Good morning. I'm not using it at all. Why are you not using it? I'm not using it at all. How can I help you? Okay, let's see what Moshe says. Hey, thank you so much for the kind wishes. Wishing you and your family the same. Just posted that. Okay, I'm going to paste it in here to a couple of, um, a couple of groups that I'm part of. I'm also gonna search the word group, and I'm going to go ahead and add it to a few more groups here that I am part of. As you can see, I'm adding it to these groups because these groups allow me to be in front of all the people that are part of those groups. So if you want, I can show you how to create your own messaging group. Happy Sukkot. Really powerful. I'm gonna go here. I'm gonna see what else we have going on over here. See if anybody else Is in any groups like that? 100 winners chat. I'm gonna say, can you believe that it's an AI-generated conversation? Okay. What time is what starting? Um, I'm not sure. I'll let you know in a few. Right now I'm in the middle of a video. I'm on a live. I'll let you know in a few. All right, here we go. I'm gonna just paste in this. So, okay, so what happens is when you send a DM to somebody, let's say you're sending somebody a DM, that direct message that you sent kind of like takes up their entire window, you know, a little tiny window opens up on the bottom here. I'll show you an example of that. LinkedIn's being sluggish right now. Let me click this. There you go. So I just click on, let's say for example, this Lexi thing. All you see is this. You don't see any text. So I want to add a little more text under the video. So I have to send a separate direct message in order for you to actually be able to see what's going on. Because anything above it, you don't really see unless you scroll up, and most people are not gonna scroll up. They're just gonna see like the bottom half of this video as a preview. But if you see a line of text, you'll scroll up. So it's the same thing with any of these things here, any of these group messages that people are part of. So if you click on a group message, then you can add a sentence. Do you need anything, Ari?

No.

What? Do you need me to drive you to show? What? Yeah, let me know when. Okay. All right. Um, I'm gonna click on each one of these. There's someone watching. How do you know? Is that one eye?

Yeah.

On YouTube. Somebody's watching on YouTube. Guys, if you're watching this live right now, go ahead and leave a comment. Let me know that you're watching. I'm gonna go ahead and paste this in just like that. And then I'm going to get into the Inc. 5000 list in just a moment. LinkedIn's loading really slow. Let me see if I could load this part of LinkedIn. Let's see. Oh, look at this. Abdullah Newman said hi. I'm going to reply to him. I'm going to say hi. Um, also give this video a like if you're watching this live. All right. So I'm just promoting the video before this video, which I launched about 15 minutes ago. I'm going to copy it, copy the link to the video. I'm also going to go into WhatsApp and I'm going to link to that video in WhatsApp. Now, if you don't have the Inc. 5000 list, you can go to inc.com/inc5000/2024. You can put in the industry that you want to target, in my case, advertising and marketing. And then you can see exactly how many companies are in advertising and marketing. You can see all these companies right here. All right, so these are all the companies in the advertising and marketing industry. They're all right here. You can target people based on their location, their city. You can target people based on their state, based on their growth. You see that? These are all the companies, and you can do research on every single one. My recommendation is to put it into some sort of spreadsheet and then use artificial intelligence to enrich this list. And the reason I recommend that is because I want to be able to make sure that I keep track of everything. And then I look up the CEOs. Using a tool called Reverse Contact. I looked them up on LinkedIn and get all their contact information. So let's go into a spreadsheet and kind of do that together real quick. So I'm gonna open up a spreadsheet. I actually already prepared it into a spreadsheet just like this. So this is the list of all the people. This is the entire list right over here. What I'm going to do here is get the names of the CEOs. You see that? First name, last name, LinkedIn URL, enriched by Evy AI Pro. You see that? Some of them are enriched, some of them are not enriched here. Let me go down here. And when they do get enriched, let me go to full list and see what I can add. Yeah, look at that. Listed in 2023. There's a lot of really good details here. Enriched, enriched, enriched. Let me see if I have the LinkedIn. Let me go to industry, your growth model. Let me go to the way top. First, last, enrich LinkedIn. Category, advertising and marketing. It looks like we do have category of winner. Category winner. Oh, that's not category. That's not an industry. Leadership rank. Okay. Let's, um, let's see if we have industry here. We have industry right here. Okay. So let's just click on this little button here. And then let's clear all and then do advertising and marketing, see if we have marketing here. Marketing and advertising, I press OK, and now I have these companies here. Now I can target them by employees, so we have 250 employees right here, and I could just click on their LinkedIn URL, and then I can send a message. So this is the Canella Media. You see that? And I can have Evie AI help me be able to collaboration opportunities, be able to write up a post. Hey, it fell off CEOs. I'll do it. Okay. I'd love to explore potential synergies. I'm going to press send, and now I sent Isabelle a connection request just like that. Hopefully you got value from this. My son needs me to take him somewhere, so I'm going to hop.
