How to get clients with Linkedin FAST using VAs

In this live, interactive webinar Joe Apfelbaum demonstrates a complete, AI‑enhanced LinkedIn prospecting system that leverages virtual assistants (VAs) to generate leads, nurture relationships, and close sales at scale. He begins by stressing the importance of personal development—confidence, accent, and daily conversation practice—as the foundation for effective outreach. He then walks the audience through his daily LinkedIn routine: posting, engaging, messaging, and connecting, all powered by Evy AI’s templates, idea generators, and comment‑automation shortcuts. Using real‑time screen shares, Joe shows how to: (1) generate post ideas and full drafts with AI; (2) auto‑reply to comments with AI‑written responses; (3) research prospects via an AI research tool that pulls social profiles, company data, and contact info; (4) qualify leads by checking profile activity, paid LinkedIn status, and CRM presence; (5) book meetings instantly through Calendly links, capturing email and phone details; (6) push qualified contacts into a CRM and initiate automated calls or voicemails. He emphasizes that VAs must execute each step—commenting, following up, adding prospects to lists, and sending personalized connection requests—so the founder can focus on high‑value conversations. Throughout, Joe showcases community‑building tactics (posting parties, influencer summit, Skool community), and promotes paid programs (Elite Program, bundleplus subscription, 99hacks.club) that bundle strategy, accountability, and unlimited AI usage. The session blends mindset coaching, live tool demos, and sales pitches, illustrating a repeatable, scalable LinkedIn acquisition engine.
Chapters
You literally have to be the magic. You're already a ball of energy, aren't you? You're a ball of energy that's here for a short period of time in this world. And your goal is to be on a mission to be on right now. And if you're able to be on right now and you're able to have 5 conversations every single day with people, it'll completely change the game for you. But if you're afraid of having conversations with people, you gotta do personal development. You got to train. You got to become more confident. If you don't like your accent, change your accent. If you don't like what you sound like, change what you sound like, but get yourself out there and start having conversations. Now it's conversations in the DM is not a conversation. Just DMing somebody alone is not enough. What you need to actually do is you need to get on LinkedIn and start building real relationships. Let me show you something funky. I'm going to share my screen right now. I'm going to show you something funky. I'm gonna show you something funky. Check this out. This is me. This is my recent activity on LinkedIn. Okay? I'm gonna go ahead and share with you in the chat my recent activity. And I'm gonna click like over here. I'm gonna like on my own post. And then if I wanna leave a comment on my own post, I'm gonna go ahead and use a template using Evvy AI. You guys see I have little templates here on the side? Now I have an influencer summit that I'm doing next week. 1,000 people are coming to the summit. So I'm going to go ahead and share as a comment information about my LinkedIn influencer summit. Also at 4:00 PM today, I'm doing an event with Elisa. So I'm going to share my event with Elisa here. Now, do you see the way I shared resources under my LinkedIn Live here just now? Can you guys see I shared resources under it?
Yeah.
So I'm constantly sharing on LinkedIn. I shared yesterday, I said, a rabbi called me up and accused me of doing a chargeback. 67 people liked it, 1,700 people saw it, and 33 comments. If I wanna reply to these people in the comments, I can use AI to help me to reply to every single person. You see, on Shuma, I click reply, and then my AI will read her comment and write a response to her comment faster than I can write a response. Do you see that? How crazy is it that, that I wrote this amazing response to her? Wow, I can respond to Gina as well. All I have to do is push a keyboard shortcut and my AI gets to work and starts writing a comment. Once the comment is written, I can then decide if I want to publish it. You see that? And I'm writing a custom response to every single person, acknowledging those people and building relationships with them one at a time because every person that took the time to comment on my post is a real person. And so I want to acknowledge them and build a real relationship with them. Your VAs need to do this. They need to be commenting on the comments of all the people that have commented on your post, because otherwise you're just ignoring people and that's not a nice thing to do. And when I do this, these people get notified that I reply to the comment And they see it and they're like, wow, this guy really cares about me. And I'm going to want to comment again and again and again and again and again. Do you see what I'm saying? So I'm rewarding these people by, by, by replying to them, but I don't have to actually write the response. I can have AI write the response and it makes my life Easier. But could you imagine if I had to actually write every single response, how long it would take me to write all this?
Yeah.
It would take forever. Yeah. But with Evy AI, you get unlimited comments for less than 50 cents. For less than 50 cents, you can get unlimited comments. So why not use a platform like this? By the way, are you already a client of Evy AI, or would you like to become a client and get access to this solution? Just write, I'm a client, or write, I would like to become a client. So Rick said, I'm a happy client. Rick, can you share what you love most about Evie AI? Bajil said, I'm a client. Thank you, Bajil.
Wow, Joe. So you have 5 children. I have 6. So it'd be like saying, which one of my kids do I love the most, right? I love so much about Evie AI. Uh, it, it 10x's, 20x's my productivity. I'm able to stay top I actually love commenting more than I do posting now because you've made it so easy. Instead of staring at a blank screen with a cursor blinking, it gives me ideas. Now, I often will change and edit what it puts out. Sometimes I use what it puts out, but just the fact that I'm not stumped, I don't have that writer's block. It's like it builds momentum and, and it actually has improved my writing. Yeah, it's a great tool. My regular commenting as well, Joe.
Wow.
That's amazing. That's amazing. And I always say that commenting on LinkedIn is almost like the lifeblood of LinkedIn. It's like acknowledging people. So if you want to acknowledge people on LinkedIn, one of the best things you can do is leave comments on their posts if you want to acknowledge people. But another thing that you can do is you can also write posts yourself. Yourself on LinkedIn. And the way that you write a post on LinkedIn is you first think about what topics you want to write. Now you might say to yourself, I don't even know what to write about on LinkedIn. And so for that, you use our idea generator. So in this case, I might not have lots of ideas, but I can go in here and I can talk about the concept of authenticity in business. Now I press generate ideas and it's going to give me 4 topics related to authenticity. Being genuine in business builds truly faster. When companies stay true to their values, they attract loyalty. Transparency and honesty, authenticity is a buzzword. It's the core of lasting relationships. I like this. You see that? So I'm going to press generate post and it's going to read this topic idea and then it's going to go ahead and generate a thing just like that. Boom. It's just going to do it. You see, just like that. Do you see how fast I was able to do that? Come up with this post. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy the post and then I'm going to take, I'm going to go to linkedin.com and I'm going to paste the post in here. Do you see how fast I was able to do that? And let me quickly read it. Do you ever feel like something is missing in online interactions despite all of the tools and the platforms? It often comes down to one simple and powerful ingredient, Authenticity. I'm going to write for real. This isn't just a concept. It's a very foundation of how we build lasting relationships, both with clients and our team members. People don't connect with perfect polished facades. They connect with genuine human beings. Think about it. When you show up as your true self, imperfections and all, you invite trust and loyalty. It creates a space for deeper connections and understanding. My own journey from being hesitant to even sharing my photo online to embracing my full self taught me this valuable lesson firsthand. It transforms how you engage. Our aim at Evie AI— I'm going to tag my company— isn't just— isn't to make you someone you're not. It's to free you up from mundane tasks so you can focus on being genuinely present and connecting deeply. Imagine drafting comments or posts with ease, allowing your authentic voice to shine even faster. This principle extends beyond business. It enriches every part of your life. It's about being, not just doing. What does your authenticity mean to you building your connections? I truly love to hear your perspective. Please share your thoughts below in the comments. And if this idea sparks you— if this idea speaks to you, a like, Helps share it with more people. Authenticity, real connections, build trust. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to find an image that I really, really like from here. And then I'm going to use that image because I created all these images. Now, if I don't like any of these images, I can easily create a new one. I could just take any of these images that I already created. Like for example, maybe this image over here. You see this? I'm going to click on it, and then I'm going to click regenerate image. You see? And then it's going to take the original face of me. It's going to say professional headshot, da da da da da, and it should read the following: Do you build authentic relationships, or are you transactional? Transactional. Okay. I'm going to make the word authentic caps. Do you build authentic or are you transactional?
Okay.
Green and red button-down shirt. I'm just going to say green button-down shirt. I don't need it to be green and red. Wearing a casual green button-down shirt in a warm yet professional color background, soft focus, winter scene, golden hour, majestic genuine smile with a Tudor style house. I'm just going to do Tudor-style brick house, brick and wood house with a castle-like structure, blah, blah, blah. Okay. And I'm going to press create. And this is going to go ahead and create that photo for me.
And Joe, you could have used your microphone, couldn't you, to describe the picture?
Yep. There's a microphone right over here I could have done. Now I'm going to press copy on the photo. Then I'm going to paste in the photo here. Do you build authentic relationships or are you transactional? Love that. And there's a house that is a brick that looks like a castle. Actually looks like my house that I'm in right now. I'm going to press post. And now I just posted this post on LinkedIn. Was it hard for me to do this or was it easy? Let me know in the chat if this was hard or it was easy. I'm going to press copy link to post. I'm gonna go to evviai.com/urlcleaner. I'm gonna clean the URL. Now I have a clean version of the URL and I'm gonna share it with you guys and stop sharing my screen so you guys can actually see the post. And when you see the post, you might be inclined to like on it, to comment on it, and to—
Share it.
Share it by hitting the repost button if you're up to it. But do you guys understand the power of me posting something like that and maybe 1,000 people will see it? Do you guys understand the power of that? Now, back to the question that I had before with Bajeel about what is a lead? What is a prospect? A lead is somebody Who reached out to me that is interested in my services. They might not be a qualified lead. They might not be a prospect to me. They might be a 12-year-old that doesn't even have a business. You know what I mean? They might be somebody that doesn't know how to use a computer, someone that doesn't want to network. They might not even need my services. Do you know how many times people reach out to me and they say, hey Joe, can I sign up to your services? And they're not even qualified or even interested after when I call them. Has it ever happened to you where somebody reached out to you and said, hey Joe, I'd love to do business with you, or hey Bajil, I'd love to do business with you, and then when you start doing business with them, they say no, they're not interested anymore? Has that ever happened to you?
Were you—
experienced that? That happens to me all the time. People first say they're interested and then they say they're not. You get what I'm saying? So I want you guys to think about the following. Who is your most ideal client? Let me know in the chat. Who is literally your most ideal client right now? Let me know in the chat. Who do you want to work with? Who is your prospect? Who is someone who's a prospective client? But Jill, that's another problem that people have is that they don't know who their ideal client is and they just want clients. So if they tell your VA, they say, hey, go get me clients. And they don't tell the VA exactly who a prospect is. What's the VA going to do? They're just going to connect randomly with people and then get nowhere. And then everybody's upset or even worse, they connect with people and they get them on the phone with the guy. And then they're like, not even relevant. They're not a lead. They're not a qualified lead. They're not even a prospect. Do you get what I'm saying? So Rick, he wants to work with business coaches. Rick, the other Rick, he wants to work with medium-sized business owners and HR lenders. Peter wants online coaches. Abby wants business owners and coaches. Luke wants service-based businesses that are struggling to find consistent leads. Those are all very, very powerful things, very powerful ways of being and things that you can do. So my question to you is, do you have a strategy for getting your target market on the phone? If you don't have a strategy, I'm going to show you right now a very simple strategy to get your target market on the phone. Very simple strategy. But I first want to know, Are you even connected with your target market? And often people don't even know how to check. So I'm going to show you how to check. I'm going to show you how to use Evy AI. But here are the 4 things you need to do every day if you're on LinkedIn. Number 1 is you need to be posting. Number 2 is you need to be engaging. Number 3 is you need to be messaging. Posting, engaging, and messaging. Number 4 is you need to be connecting. So posting, engaging, messaging, and connecting. And you need to do it both in your VA account and in your client's account. Don't just do it for your clients. Build your own brand, dude. Build your own brand, dudette. Because Agnes is like, what? I'm not a dude. First of all, you never know. Second of all, I said dudette. Which is a form of a dude. It's just cooler. It's cooler than just a dude. It's a dudette. You guys with me on this? Build your own brand. Everyone should have a brand. Everyone should have connections. Everyone should have at least 1,000 connections. I want everyone to have at least 1,000 connections. Why? 'Cause if you have 1,000 connections, you'll never wonder, where your next conversation will come from. If you have 1,000 connections, you'll never wonder where your next connection, next conversation will come from. So I want you to do the following. I want you to think about how am I going to get conversations? What am I going to do to build those relationships? I'm going to show you how many leads I have right now. I'm going to show you how many leads I have right now. So if I'm on LinkedIn right now and somebody views my profile, and I see that they're a prospective client, what am I going to do? Let's say, for example, Linda. I don't really know Linda very well. She has 165 connections. You see that? I take a look at Linda. I don't know much about Linda. So I'm going to profile. I'm going to say profile visitor. I'm going to save her into a list called profile visitor. Do you guys see what I'm doing on the side? I saved her into a list. She's a profile visitor. Now the fact that she has a gold icon here means that she's paying for LinkedIn. I always say, Bajil, people that pay pay attention. Have you heard me say that before?
Yeah.
People that pay pay attention. And so I also noticed she has a verified account. She's located in the United States. I can see where in the United States. Um, actually I can't see where in the United States because she just wrote United States. So I'm going to do a little research on her. I'm going to use AI research. Bajeel, do you have access to the AI research tool within Evy AI?
I don't. I haven't used it. If I do have access to it, Joe.
Okay. So maybe later we'll share your screen and show you how to do it. But I just click on this button. I saved her profile, clicked on one of these agents. I clicked on the Perplexity one and it tells me everything about her. You see? It shows me her Instagram. It shows me what she does. She's mentioned as a certified in La Quinta and featured podcast. You see it pulled up where she's located in La Quinta. You see? If you plan outreach, the most reliable initial channels are LinkedIn and Instagram for direct messages. Tells me how to reach out. You see, it tells me how to build a relationship with her. It tells me what to speak to her about. Insane. I have an insane amount of information on this person. So now I'm going to copy her name and check if she's inside my CRM, because maybe she is a lead. So I'm going to go ahead and search for her name in my CRM. I see that she's not in my CRM. You see, I searched my contacts. She's not in my CRM. I'm also going to search here just to kind of see. Um, let's see if Linda's here. I have a lot of Lindas here, but I don't have a Linda Palente or Palini. You see, she's not here. Okay. She's not in my CRM. That's okay. So now I checked my CRM. I looked her up on LinkedIn. I'm going to try to find her contact information. Using a tool. Okay, phone number not available here. There's no phone number available for this person. I'm going to click on contact info here, and I see she doesn't have her contact info here as well. I'm going to look to see if she has recommendations, because if she doesn't, she might even be a fake account. You see, she has no recommendations. You see that? She's paying for LinkedIn, but she might be a fake account.
Okay.
So now I'm gonna click on message and I'm gonna say, how does someone sign up for your services? I'm gonna press send. You see that? How does someone sign up for your services? 'Cause I have no idea how to even reach her. She's making it impossible. She doesn't write where she's from. She doesn't put her phone number, her email address. I did find quite a bit of information with her doing AI research. But I want to get in touch with her because she looked at my profile. Oh, it says book an appointment. It looks like there's a Calendly. Did you guys just realize what I just noticed?
Hmm.
So I'm going to go ahead and book her up for 8:00 PM tonight. I'm going to press next. I'm going to book myself a meeting. Thanks for visiting my profile. Let's chat. About your LinkedIn goals so I can support you. Looks like you can use my support.
She's actually a client, so it's possible she saw one of our emails and is checking you out.
Amazing. So she's a client of yours. That's great. But do you see the way I scheduled a meeting with her just now by looking at the calendar link?
Yep.
So now I have a calendar link meeting booked with her. So if I want, what happens? Do you guys know what happens when I book a meeting with someone using a calendar link? Who can guess what happens? Can anyone guess?
She gets notified, Joe.
She gets notified. But what piece of information was I looking for that I didn't have before that I have now?
Her contact information, email, and maybe even phone number.
Correct. So check this out. Look what I just got. I just got an email from her, from Calendly, with her information. You see? And this tells me that I have a meeting with her and I got an email with all the details and all the information that I need in order to build a relationship with this person. I got an email from her. That's crazy. Just from booking a Calendly link, I get an email from her. I love that. That's a powerful way to build a relationship with someone. So now I'm gonna take her Gmail. Now that I have her Gmail account, I'm gonna copy her Gmail and I'm gonna put it into Evy AI under email. Do you guys see that? I just sent her into Evy AI. Can you guys see the way I copied it in here?
Mm-hmm.
Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do a Google search for her Gmail and see what comes up. And look at this, I found her website. Before, her website was not available. Now I found her website. Now I'm going to add her website as a resource here so that I can access it later. I'm going to press save. You guys see that? I just saved her website. Now that I have her website and I click on contact, sometimes her phone number shows up here. It's not, but if her phone number did show up, guess what I would do? I would pick up the phone and call her, but I don't need to call her. You know why?
Why?
Because I already have a meeting booked with her for tonight. I have a meeting booked with someone that looked at my profile.
Wow.
How easy was that? Pretty cool, right? Now I have a booked meeting, but let's say I didn't have booked meetings and I had leads instead, and I wanted to call my leads. What would I do? So guys, take a look at this. I have a technology that syncs with Evi AI. So if I wanted to push her into here, I would just push this little button over here and she would land into one of these places here. I have 500 people I can call right now. So I'm going to say use here. And what I'm going to do now is I'm going to share my audio and I'm going to make some phone calls. Now, these are all people that requested information from me. Is it possible that these people are not ideal clients?
Yes.
They're leads. But Jill, you wanted leads. Here's leads. I have so many leads. Let's just see what these leads look like. Just to give you an idea of the difference between getting a lead from LinkedIn or just having leads that request information from you, I have 4,757 leads. So I'm calling 3 at a time every 30 seconds. You see that? And if it goes to voicemail, I'm automatically dropping voicemails right now. I'm using this technology to call these people and it'll guarantee that I'll get people on the phone. Hey, Connor. Connor?
Yes.
I was notified that you were interested in learning how to leverage LinkedIn a couple of hours ago. You requested some information. Were you looking for clients or were you looking for a job? Which one?
Um, I'm actually a little busy right now.
Can I give you a call back? Of course you can call me back. Are you available at 7? I could just send you a calendar invite for 7. I know you're busy now.
Uh, yeah, that works.
I'll send you a calendar invite right now for 7. We'll see you then. Thank you, Connor.
All right. Thank you.
Thank you. Goodbye. Did I just book a meeting, ladies and gentlemen? So this is how I'm going to book it in the calendar. I'm going to press appointments. I'm going to press add. You see that? And then what I'm going to do is I'm going to switch it to today. I'm going to do custom. I'm going to do today. What's today? The 12th. And then I'm going to do today at 7. I'm going to select 7:00 PM, press OK, press confirm. Do you guys see at 7:00 PM I'm booking him? And then I'm going to press book appointment. So I just sent him a text message. I sent him an email. You see that? And I'm going to ask him to fill out a questionnaire as well. So here you go. Hi Connor, here's the questionnaire. Looking forward to your meeting at 7 o'clock. I'm going to go ahead and send him a text message now with this information. And then I'm going to move him in the opportunity stage as someone that's scheduled. Do you see that? Scheduled for demo. And he might spend $1,968 with me today. Was that hard to do or was that easy to do? I'm going to press resume. I'm going to keep going. Let me know in the chat if you want me to keep going. But I'm just giving you ideas for what you guys could be doing if you had the right technologies and the right systems and processes. Now I can easily look him up on LinkedIn. Remember what I did? I right-clicked here, clicked on Evvy AI, and then clicked LinkedIn, and it's gonna pull up his LinkedIn, his Facebook, his Google, his Instagram. And this works anywhere on the internet, literally anywhere on the internet. I can book conversation after conversation after conversation with people. Now I can also book it from LinkedIn. I can go to LinkedIn. I can look up this guy, Albert Vince Tupang. He's not an ideal client for me. You know why? Because he doesn't have a— oh, it looks like he works for Abigail. Okay, moving on. But let me find people that are ideal for me. I'm gonna go here and I'm gonna try to find people that are actually ideal for me. I'm gonna like on my own comment. I see Rick. I see Sabina. There's gonna be a bunch of people here. Hello?
Okay.
Let me see who else I have here. Let's see who else viewed my profile. I love looking at who viewed my profile. That's a very, very powerful thing to do. Do you guys ever do that? Do you ever look at who viewed your profile? This guy Luke Parr just viewed my profile. Do you guys know Luke Parr from England?
Yeah, I think I recognize the name.
I'm going to refresh the page.
Refresh the page.
Hi, John.
Hello.
Hi, John. I was notified that you requested some information about LinkedIn training. Were you looking for new clients or were you looking for a job? Which one?
Uh, not a job.
You're not a job. You're looking for clients. What is it that you do? What's your, uh, what's your thing? What's your big thing, John?
Oh my.
My name is Joe. My name is Joe Applebaum, CEO of Evie AI, and you are John Knickerbocker. You help financial professionals who want to get more value and benefit from their offering of estate estate planning. You're an estate planning guy, right?
Business development for a company that specializes in estate planning.
Amazing, amazing. I see. And you're you graduated from San Diego University, and I see that you're a macher. You know you know what time it is. It looks like on LinkedIn. But maybe, maybe, maybe you want to learn some other strategies that will help you get on the phone with more people. You're in San Diego. My sister lives in San Diego, by the way.
Okay, good. So you're on my profile page.
I'm on your LinkedIn page. I'm also using Evvy AI, my own company, to do AI research on you, which tells me that you— a lot of information. It tells me that you work with financial advisors and planners and wealth managers and insurance professionals. and business owners. It tells me that you— your key services include estate planning documents, living trusts, last wills, and testaments, power of attorney, all that stuff. It tells me that you simplify estate planning, that you increase advisor value, and that you provide repeatable systems. And it kind of even gives me like little conversation starters of what I should be talking to you about. So I'd be curious if you wanted to take a look and see a demo. I'm available tonight at 4:30 your time, um, for us to kind of get together and I could show you something. Are you around then?
No, not, not then. Um, why don't you send me an email? Do you have a calendar link?
Yeah, yeah, I could send you a calendar. Do you want me to send you a calendar link for you to, uh, book yourself in at your convenience? Would that be easier for you? Or do you want me to help you pick a time right now?
No, uh, I'm about to hop on a Zoom.
Oh, got it. Got it.
Sending me an email with some info would be better.
Okay. I just sent you a text message with the calendar link so that it comes directly to you. 'Cause sometimes my emails go to spam. Um, can you take a look to see if you received that text message, if you don't mind?
Sure.
I love that you want to meet with financial advisors. I just had a conversation with my friend Chris. He has 1,600 financial advisors and he wants me to train his financial advisors on how to use LinkedIn. So I'm actually really curious to learn more about how you increase advisor value, because I think you could really be a great value to a lot of our clients as well. We have 1,600 people in our software that are using Evie AI. So I'd be curious to learn more about you. So I'm looking, actually really looking forward to, to learning more about what you're doing there and how you guys are operating.
Good. Um, if you send a text to the 714 number, that's my direct office line. Um, you'll— you would need to send a text to my cell. Can you send me an email?
Yeah, I'll go ahead and send you an email to john@yourwebsite.com. I'll do that now.
@ameristate.com.
That's right. I'm gonna send you one right now. I'm gonna say, book a call with our team at your convenience. Okay?
Okay, good.
Excellent. By the way, what's your favorite pizza? What's your favorite pizza topping? I'm always curious to know.
Pineapple.
Pineapple. I'm going to put that in the message. I love pineapple, by the way. Pineapple is my fave too.
All right.
Excellent. Thank you so much. We'll talk soon.
Okay, Joe.
All right.
Bye.
Bye.
Okay. I'm going to stop calling now because you can see that I can keep going on and on and on. By the way, Bajil, do you see the value of the, of the research that I did?
Yeah, absolutely. That was incredible.
I was able to build rapport like, like this with the guy, like this, I'm able to build rapport. So imagine if your entire team had the power of Evvy AI and they got training every week. We have a program called the Elite Program where we'll sit with your people every single week. We'll give them all access to our tool, and then we'll train them every week for a year and we'll meet with them in a little group setting and make them LinkedIn rock stars. By the way, would you want to be a rock star? In the chat, write, I want to be a rock star. Because if you learn how to do this, it's not just about being savvy. It's about building real relationships. It's about not hesitating. It's about owning the conversation. It's about the guy's like, oh my God, you're on my profile. You're real. You're not just a telemarketer. You're not just trying to get a voicemail. You know what I mean? You're trying to be real. When you're real, when you're relentless, when you're a lion or a tiger or a bear— lions and tigers and bears, lions and tigers and bears— it changes the game. People want to talk to you. They want your sense of humor. They want your awkwardness. They want the weirdness. They want you. People literally want you. They want your energy. And most telemarketers And most people that are on LinkedIn are being fake. Start being real. Start being authentic. Stop waking and baking. Stop faking. Stop taking. Be a giver. Because the secret to living is giving. Be a giver. Think about what that person wants. You know, I told him about the 1,600 financial advisors. It's a true story. I met the guy on the cruise. His name is Chris. He changed his name to Revan. So I have a real conversation with a real person that can really help this guy. This guy's salivating. And by the way, I texted his office line and he didn't get it. But do you remember I said I texted you? Did you get it? He's like, no, I didn't get it. So it's important for you not to assume that people get your communication and then ask that question like, what's your favorite pizza topping? Because now I know something about the guy that 99.99999% of people don't know. So now what I'm going to do is, and instead of being a weirdo, I'm gonna show you guys, and I know some of you might have to go now because we're at the top of the hour, but I wanna show you something crazy. If I go back to his profile, I wanna send him a connection request. So I'm gonna use Evie AI. I'm gonna use Evie AI to write the connection request. I'm gonna say, John, it was really great talking to you today, and I'm so grateful that we both have the same favorite pizza topping, pineapple. Are you willing to connect with me on LinkedIn? And then I'm going to press connect over here, press add a note, and I'm going to insert that verbally said thing just like that. And I'm going to press send. And now John Knickerbocker, who yesterday reached out to me as a lead, now becomes a qualified prospect because he's a real person, because he's working for a real company. And by the way, do you think his company is a tiny little company? No. Do you think it's a tiny, tiny little business? You can see on LinkedIn, if you get the right training, you can see how many employees they have. You can see who the CEO is. And by the way, I'm not going to stop there. I'm going to connect with the CEO as well. And I'm going to say, I love that your employees— I'm actually going to speak it because I don't know how to type anymore. Greg, I love that your employees are on top of their game. Would you be open to connecting with me on LinkedIn so I can tell you about my lovely experience with John? Okay. And now I'm going to press send. And then if he accepts it, I might just send him this video. Do you guys get it? I might just build a deep relationship with the CEO. But how many people take that step? How many people actually take the step of looking at who works in the company and connecting with some other people directly? If your VAs are not doing this and are not showing your clients how they're doing this, if you send them a 5-minute video saying, hey, look at what I did, look at what I did for you, a 5-minute Loom and say, hey, look, I connected with this person. Then I looked at the company, saw how many employees they had. I connected with a second prospect. I'm reaching out to them. They're in the list in HeavyAI. And don't worry, I'm commenting on their posts. What? What? Yes. Your clients want this. They want this. Think about the possibilities. And that has value. So would I pay you $100 to book me a meeting with an unqualified lead? I'd be pissed. If I book— if you book me a meeting with a rando that's not interested in my service, I'd be pissed. But if I paid you $5 to connect me with someone on LinkedIn that could spend $100,000 with me, I'd be thrilled. I'd be thrilled. So what if you said your VA costs $5 to connect you with one new qualified prospect every day, someone that can do business with you or refer business to you? And I guarantee that every single day we'll connect you with at least one new qualified pro— we'll send out 20, but one will be qualified. And we'll try to get them on the phone to identify if they're a lead or not for you. Bajil, did you get value from this today?
Oh yeah, Joe. That was that was incredible. I just I'm just kind of still in awe actually. Almost literally speechless. Just the the way you put that together, the use of the technology, the calling, the the whole the whole process, and hence you know hopefully people. You can see why I wanted to have you on, share the potential of not just the tool, but the methodology. That's— and this is what I saw on the cruise and I was like, holy moly.
By the way, if you guys want the replay, write replay in the chat if you want this replay so you can watch this again. Some of you are going to watch this again. You might want to watch the second part, not the first part where we're just having a conversation. The second part is more important than the first part. The first part is really mindset stuff around like, you know, like your beliefs and all that, which was important to preface because if I just wowed you with the tools, you'd be dizzy.
Yeah.
But now, now you guys are aroused, not just dizzy, you're aroused. You're excited. You get what I'm saying? You're ready to take some action because you understand the power of what LinkedIn is when you attach it to other methodologies like prospecting, like marketing, like advertising, like branding.
