research people on LinkedIn using artificial intelligence. My name is Joe Apfelbaum. I've trained over 1,000 companies on how to leverage LinkedIn over the past decade. And digi— I'm a digital marketing expert. I have an agency for 20 years. We were featured on the Inc. 500 as one of the fastest growing companies in America. I'm the author of 5 books, including my most recent one called High Energy Networking. And soon I'm gonna be publishing one called High Energy Prompting. Hopefully Jen will get me that one to be able to publish. Because we already edited the whole thing. It's all ready to go. We just have to publish it. So Jen, can you help me publish it sometime soon? Hey, sure. Founder of an AI assistant for LinkedIn. I'm gonna be showing you how I use a technology that I developed with, together with my business partner Tammy, to help users maximize LinkedIn, save time, craft comments, create content using AI. And when I'm not speaking on stages all over the world, including Japan, Atlanta, Arizona, Montreal, Mexico. When I'm not speaking on stages worldwide, I spend time with my 5 children rollerblading and rapping in Hillside, New Jersey. Now I'm curious to know, what problems do you have on LinkedIn? Do you not have a strategy on LinkedIn? Or maybe you tried LinkedIn and you have no results. So if you, if you don't have a strategy, write strategy in the chat if you think you're missing a strategy when it comes to using LinkedIn and you could Maybe you're a little overwhelmed 'cause you're lacking a strategy. Write strategy in the chat. If you've tried LinkedIn in the past, maybe hired some gurus, paid people, and then didn't get results, write no results in the chat. Maybe you tried it, you paid for something, you paid for a program. Someone told me they recently paid for a program called Copilot. They paid $3,600 for Copilot and they got a bunch of connections, but no business. So if you haven't gotten results from LinkedIn in the past yet, Write no results in the chat. Maybe you know how to use LinkedIn, but you're not sure how to message strangers without being annoying. How do you message people? We have a process called the greeting, feeding, and meeting process. I'll talk a little bit about that today. That's part of researching people. So if you don't like being annoying with strangers, write annoying in the chat. If you don't want to be annoying, write annoying in the chat. If you're not sure what to post on LinkedIn, to get exposure. A lot of people don't know what to post. I'm going to be talking about content pillars today as well. So when you're researching, you could do content pillars. Write pillars in the chat if you're interested in learning about content pillars and how they work. And if your comment, if your content is not getting dozens of comments and likes each day, and you're not getting engagement, but you're posting on LinkedIn and you're not getting engagement, write engagement in the chat. I will show you how I get engagement. I will show you what to do to get engagement on LinkedIn, to get dozens of likes and comments from people that are in the position to refer business to you or do business with you. And these are the problems that people have. These are the problems that people typically have. And by the way, it's not because you're not smart. You're very smart. But if you take a look at all possible knowledge in the world, there's 4 different categories. There's what you know, there's what you don't know, but you know that you don't know that. And then there's what you don't know that you actually know, because a lot of us are smarter than we even know. And then there's the things that we don't even know we don't know, right? Those are the 4 categories of available content in the world. Some things I'm gonna teach you today, you already know. You're gonna be like, I know that. I want you to ask yourself, how well am I actually implementing that? I know it already, but maybe I'm not implementing it. Some things in the world, you know that you don't know and you'd like to learn more about. Like for example, maybe how to get clients on LinkedIn. You know that you don't know how to do that and you wanna learn more about that. Some things you don't even know that you know. Maybe you didn't even know that you can do that. You didn't even know that you knew that. And we're gonna talk about some of those things today, like how to use AI. And then there are things that you absolutely didn't even know were even possible. You didn't even know there was a thing. You know, like before I started doing webinars and seminars, I'm gonna stop sharing my screen for a second. Before I started doing seminars and webinars, I didn't even know that seminars were a thing. I didn't know business owners came to like learning events. I just thought that people were busy working in their business and I didn't even know it was a thing 'cause I didn't go to seminars. So like, how do I expect people to come to seminars, right? And then Google reached out to me and they said, would you like to train business owners on how Google works? And I was like, yeah, of course I would. Is that a thing? And they're like, yeah, become a certified Google trainer. We'll train you on how to be a Google trainer, and you're already an expert on SEO, SEM, all that stuff. And you just— we'll send you the businesses and they'll pay you for you to train them. And I'm like, I'm in. I'm so in. By the way, what's your expertise? In the chat, tell me now, what is your expertise? I'm curious to know what your expertise is. Let me know in the chat what your expertise is. Are you a consultant? Are you a coach? Are you a leader? Are you a rabbi? Are you a priest? Like, what are you? Like, what's your specialty? What's your thing that you know? Geriatric care manager. Love that. Laurie said nutritional health and energy coach. Yeah. You can have all the wealth in the world, but if you don't have health, what's all that worth, right? You don't take any money with you. You can't even enjoy it. A coach. Jay's a coach. Awesome. I love coaches. Coaches are the best. They change people's lives. Everyone needs a good coach. Michael, Michael said he's an IT leader and architect. We all need those leaders today. Andre said risk management consultant. Michael said tax advantage planning. Diana said financial consultant and coach. Growth leader, printing company. Okay, love that, Julian. Thank you, Julian. So guys, check this out. Check this out. LinkedIn has over a billion members right now. They have 1.3 billion people. It's growing at a rate of 3 new members every second. LinkedIn CEO made an announcement last year. They want to get to 3 billion members. They're aggressively growing. And I'm watching this happen. With 1.3 billion people worldwide, 80% of B2B social leads come from LinkedIn. LinkedIn is 277 times, uh, percent more effective than Facebook and Twitter at generating leads, but only 3% of people are posting. Microsoft paid $26.2 billion for LinkedIn as one of the biggest acquisitions ever made. And there's half a million people that are logging into LinkedIn regularly. There's 200 countries around the world. And LinkedIn is one of the most powerful platforms for AEO. Do you guys know what AEO is? It's not a song that you sing, E-I-E-I-O. That's a different song. AEO stands for Engine Answer engine optimization. Because LinkedIn has over 3 billion backlinks, it signals authority to Google and Google indexes LinkedIn very quickly. Let's see if I, I'm just going to Google myself, right? I'm going to say Joe Apfelbaum. Joe Apfelbaum, does LinkedIn have a soul? I'm just going to Google it. Does LinkedIn have a soul? Let's see what it says here. I'm going to click on this over here and just see what comes up. First thing on Google. Okay, look at this. Wow, beautiful. That's a beautiful post. I rank all over Google, all over Google. And today I posted a poll right over here. This is the poll I posted. I want all you guys to take a moment and inspect this poll because polls are transformational for business surveys. Are the ways you get information from people. I'm gonna stop sharing my screen for a second. I'm gonna go ahead and share it right there. Go ahead and click on that link right there and let's all vote on that poll. The options on the poll are, option number 1 is, are you a real person with a soul? Yes, I have a human soul. 2, I don't believe in souls. 3, I'm a bot with an AI soul. And then also go ahead and like that post. Maybe give it a light bulb and then leave a comment so all of us can find you on LinkedIn and connect with you. When you leave a comment on LinkedIn, it's a very powerful way for other people to find you, connect with you, and build a relationship with you. The question I asked is, do you believe in souls? And what does soul mean to you on LinkedIn? That's what I asked there. So let's all go ahead and leave a comment. Let's go ahead and vote. It only takes a second to vote. I also want you to learn how to interact with a poll. I see only 2 of you voted so far, and I can actually see who voted as well. I see Michael voted, Andy voted, Justin voted. I see exactly who voted, so I see those that have not voted as well. And I could also see who likes on the post. So guys, all leave a light bulb. Everyone go ahead and drop a light bulb on the post so we can all find all the light bulbs. I like it. And connect with all the light bulbs, and then drop a comment on the post. It's a powerful, powerful concept. This is a very powerful concept about the whole concept of bringing spirituality into something as mundane as LinkedIn. Something that spirituality is not necessarily related to religion. It's more related to things that you can't necessarily measure, but you can feel. Something with the spirit. Rather something scientific. You guys get what I'm saying? I am spiritual. I am a spiritual being. I'm more than just my body. I'm more than just my business. I love adding value to people deeply, adding deep value to people's lives. And if you're not on LinkedIn, I highly recommend creating a free LinkedIn account and getting on LinkedIn. Now, I only see that 5 of you voted on the poll. Oh, now 6, 7 of you voted on the poll. That's great. But we have many dozens of people here. I'm always curious to know why somebody wouldn't want to vote on that poll. Only I can see the votes, by the way. It's private. I could understand if somebody wouldn't want to like the post or comment on the post. I get that. But not voting on a poll, not participating in that, is a missed opportunity for you to learn how a poll works. So just take a moment and go ahead and vote on that poll so we can get to know that you exist. Give us a light bulb on the post so that we see you when we find you. I see 5 light bulbs so far. I see Michael, Diane, Julian, Andy. Thank you guys. And then drop a comment. I see all the most recent comments. I see Jay said, I'm a human and I do have a soul. Bella said, soul equals true essence. Julian said, hello everybody. Michael says, I do believe in souls and it's very spiritual. You see that that happened in the past minute. I can actually see that. Again, 4 of you, only 10% of you or so voted, commented, liked it. I want you guys to really engage with that post. And the reason I'm telling you to do that is because I want people to do that for you as well. And if you want people to do that for you, you have to be willing to do that for other people. You say, oh, I want engagement, but then you have the opportunity to engage on a post And you don't engage. You don't, you don't like, you don't comment. I want to show you, you might have some type of, of like technical inability to comment. You're like, I don't know how, I don't have a LinkedIn account. So make a LinkedIn account. It takes exactly 3 seconds to make a LinkedIn account. You go there, you press sign up, you put your email and you're in. You have a LinkedIn account. Now you can like and comment. It's really that easy. And if you have other things like, oh, I don't want my employer to see it. Well, your employer can't see what poll you engaged with in terms of like voting on a poll. Nobody can see that except for the author of the poll. So I want you guys to engage, connect, build relationships, get to know each other, and, and be serious about networking and relationship building. You know, when you comment on someone's post, you're doing them a favor. Did you know that? You know why you're doing— if I comment on Diana's post or on John's post, I'm actually doing you a favor if I comment on your post because I'm getting more exposure to your post. You guys get what I'm saying? I'm giving you, I'm giving you exposure. I'm getting your post out there. Now you might say, I don't want my post to get out there. You're actually not doing me a favor 'cause I'm not interested. Well, then you're probably on the wrong platform. 'Cause LinkedIn's all about networking and relationship building and getting exposure. So if you wanna be in the witness protection program, you should sign up for the witnessprotectionprogram.com where everybody's anonymous. I don't know if that even exists, but that's a pretty good— that's a pretty interesting platform to have an everyone's anonymous platform. Okay, so this is what the poll looks like right now. You see that? 43 votes. 41 people said they have a soul. Then I see all the comments. I can choose recent comments, most recent comments, or I can choose most relevant comments. You see? Most recent or more relevant. So if I see Diane, she just commented here, I can go to her profile by clicking on her name and I could look her up. And I could look up her profile. I see she's in Vancouver, which by the way, I went to go see Taylor Swift in Vancouver. I don't know if you knew that she went to Vancouver for her last show in her world tour, her Eras Tour. And I learned about her by looking here, but I don't know much information about Diane just by looking over here. You see, I don't even know her last name. Most people put their last name on LinkedIn because they want people to find them. And I see that you're in financial services, which is epic. Amazing. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to deploy an agent that will help me research you online. And I can do this for anyone on LinkedIn because I have agents that can go off and research people. So how am I going to deploy this agent? The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to say that you came to a webinar. I'm gonna say webinar attendee, FEI webinar, and I press save. So that saves your information over here, but there's very little information that I know about you. So what I'm gonna do is I'm going to have Grok research you and I'm going to have, it looks like Perplexity wasn't able to find more, much information about you. Grok's doing a little bit deeper research on you. If I know what company you work with, I can kind of help the AI by giving it the name of the company you work for, just like that. I can go in here, I can edit this right over here, this profile, and I could say, you know what, this is the company name. You see? Press save. And I can redeploy this agent over here. Now that I have a little bit more about you, I can redeploy the agent and say, okay, I'm not really accessible now, but this is what she does. She works for this company. This is who she likes to work with. Newcomers to Canada, individuals, a household dealing with consumer debt or needing debt reduction, working professionals, and small business owners. This is what she does. This is her contact information. These are some conversation starters that I could use to speak to her. You see that? It's nice. But let's see what Grok found. Grok says, I'm unable to find much information. I looked at 200 different websites about her and she's basically a ghost. Wow. Interesting. You're really hiding here. If you're in financial services, my recommendation is not to hide, but instead to let everybody know who you are so that people can refer business to you. You know what I mean? You're not in the witness protection program. You're on LinkedIn. So let's, uh, I would take it to the next level and let people know who you are, how they could find you, how they can call you, how they can buy from you. You know what I mean? Otherwise you're kind of like hiding. And hiding is okay. If you're a spy, but if you're in business development, we need to take things to the next level. Like for example, Jay. Jay does pitching promos, right? Jay's information also, it's hard to find Jay's, like how to contact Jay right here. Let's say I want to buy some promos from him. I don't really know how to buy them right now. I don't know. There's no call to action here. I'm going to do webinar here as well. I'm going to save them into the same list here. And I'm going to try to research Jay. Online using the same technology, AKA the doctor. I'm going to search the doctor. Is there a doctor in the house? I think we have a doctor in the house. Let's see. Okay. Positions himself as a brand growth strategist that helps businesses identify their message, elevate their reputation, and convert clarity into increased sales. Oh, I love that. So I go in here and I learn more about him, learn about his achievements, his themes. Things to talk to him about, potential business opportunities, how I could do business with him, done-for-you brand funnel audits. Ooh, I love that. That's great. I just looked at 15 websites in about 3 seconds. So now what I'm going to do is I'm going to save his information as a note inside Evvy AI so I can train the AI further. And then I'm going to look at Grok and see what the other AI, because I have 7 different AI agents. Now I have phone numbers, email addresses. We're going through and we're having multiple agents go out there and just research everything about this person. Do you guys see what I'm doing? Yeah. This was the promise of this class that I would teach you how I do this. So I click a button, I got phone numbers, I got a calendar link, it looks like business address, notable achievements, conversation starters. We looked at 272 websites in about 40 seconds. So I go here and then I add this as a note, and then I tell my artificial intelligence to generate insights off that note. So I clicked on Gimme an introduction for him. Gimme his summary. Tell me who his target market is, connection tips, content style, achievements. Gimme some conversation starters for when I call him and I wanna build a relationship with him, I know what to say. Or when I DM him, I know what to say. Do you get it? I'm not just looking at LinkedIn alone, which is nice, but if I click on LinkedIn, I don't get much information. You see, I don't get a phone number here. But with AI, AI can scour the web. I don't even have this guy's website. Do you get it? But AI has everything built in. I have a phone number, I have a calendar link now. Do you see that? If I want to book a meeting with him, I could just go to this website right here. And now I could book a new meeting with him just like this. Yes, he looks like he doesn't have any time today, but tomorrow at 4:30 PM, I could just book a meeting just like this. You see? Boom. How did we meet? Webinar about Evvy AI. And then I just hit schedule. Now I don't know if I'm available at 4:30, so I might have to reschedule that, but I'm just showing you the point. The point is I have a calendar link for the guy. You see that? And I booked a meeting with him for tomorrow at 4:30. That is crazy that I can do that. Write crazy in the chat that I literally just did that. Write crazy in the chat. Imagine you're able to book, you saw me book a meeting just now. You could book unlimited amounts of meetings using LinkedIn by knowing how to do AI research. AI research is extremely, extremely, extremely powerful because it scours the web and looks at hundreds of websites for you and it will help you be able to be more successful when you know who you're talking to. Do you get what I'm saying? Knowing who you're talking to is the key to being able to build rapport and build relationships with people. But if you don't know who you're talking to, then you're talking to everybody. You're talking to a stranger. You're not resonating with people. You need to resonate deeply with each person because that's what the soul wants. The soul wants authentic relationships. By the way, would you rather have an authentic relationship Or a transactional relationship? Which one would you rather have? Authenticity or transactional? I'm curious to know which one you'd rather have. Let me look. Authentic. People want authenticity. People want relationships. Right? Don't people want that? What do people want? People want authenticity. Authentic. So if you— where do you get the most referrals from? Because if you want referrals, you need to learn how to build relationships. Where— who's in the position to refer business to you? I'm curious to know who is in the position to refer the. Okay, so Bella said word of mouth. Love that. So let me look up Bella real quick. I'm gonna look up Bella. Bella said word of mouth. I'm gonna go back to my recent post. I'm gonna go down to comments here, and then I'm gonna go to most recent comments, and I'm gonna see if Bella left a comment. Look, Bella left a comment. You see? So I'm going to open up Bella's profile, and this is Bella. Bella puts her phone number right here. Isn't this amazing how easy it is to call Bella? She helps elders and caregivers. Very simple. She puts her phone number, she puts her website myelder.com. So I'm going to open up Evie AI, and I'm just going to explore this website myelder.com. I'm going to click on network, find prospects, and I'm going to see what information I could learn about this company. It's a company that provides professional elder care advisory consulting services. Their primary goal is to help families navigate complex healthcare system. Overview of services. You see the way Evvii describes what this website does? I just put the website in here and it does that. You could do that for any company. Any company in the world, Evvii AI will give you information on them. And often it'll tell you every single person that works at that company and what that person does. You can tag every person, Evvii AI webinar, just like that. Boom, I tagged her. And now I'm going to do a little bit of research on her. Remember, deploying these agents is really easy. It's just a click of a button. If you want access to these agents, then write access in the chat because we have a special deal where we make these agents available for you guys unlimited on all 1.3 billion people on LinkedIn. We have a special deal going on. So just write access and we'll tell you more about how to access those agents. But first, I would love to do an audit on your profile. We have something called a footprint audit. Audit, a digital footprint audit that we can do. Do you guys know what a footprint audit is? If you go to footprintaudit.com, you'll be able to see it. I'm gonna save Bella's information. You see, I got her phone number, email address, all of her contact information right here. I'm gonna go ahead and save it as a note so that I have it for later. I don't wanna lose it. And then Grok did even more research on her, you see? Bella@Kirschner's.us, associated with Kirschner's and My Elder Advocate. I see her Instagram. This is so cool. This is so— 224 sources it looked at. I'm going to go ahead and add a note here. Imagine having unlimited AI research capabilities for your business and being able to enrich based on the notes that you find. That is just unbelievable. Unbelievable. So if I go to footprint, All you have to do is put in your LinkedIn URL and your email and click on Start My Free Audit. It'll ask you a handful of questions. Go ahead and try that now. It'll ask you a handful of questions. And then when you answer those questions, it'll give you a score and tell you how you're doing. That's what it's going to do. It'll tell you how you're doing on LinkedIn. So it's a very simple way for you to be able to determine how you're doing on LinkedIn. Now, most people don't realize this, that the simple part of understanding who your ideal clients are and understanding what you need to do on your profile to improve can really impact your business. Most people don't really understand the fact that you can do that nowadays for free. But if you want access to unlimited AI research, you do have to make a little bit of an investment in Taking certain actions and getting a community and getting support and getting training. That's something that often people don't realize that you have to make an investment in those things. Do you know what I mean? Like I spend thousands and thousands of dollars on communities and each community I spend $10,000, $12,000, $15,000 on communities. They each generate hundreds of thousands of dollars for me in my business. And then I leveraged LinkedIn to connect with those people, stay top of mind with those people, and build relationships with those people. Do you get it? Most people are not willing to even spend $2,000 on a community or $10,000 on a course or $5,000 on technology. They're not willing to make that investment. And so they're not going to end up getting the results that they want. The good news is today, I have something called the bundle, where I bundle in community, technology, training, accountability. So if you want to learn about the bundle, write bundle in the chat, go through the footprint audit, and I'll just talk about the bundle a little bit while you're doing that. It's a really easy audit to fill out. And I can see who's actually entered their information into the footprint audit and who didn't. I can actually see that my AI tells me who did and who didn't, who actually went ahead and put their information in there. Make sure you put in the correct information, because if you put in the wrong LinkedIn URL, it's not going to work. It'll work to a certain degree, but it won't work really well. So I'll tell you more about the bundle. Diana's interested in learning about the bundle. I'll tell you a little bit about it. The bundle is where we bundle in our strategy first. That's the first thing we bundle in. Our training on how to use LinkedIn. We bundle in our community. We have 1,700 people that engage with each other and support each other and help each other out. And they're all soulful people that actually want to make a difference for each other in each other's lives and be there, stand for each other. We also combine the ability for our technology to write all your content for you. Could you imagine if you had a piece of technology that would write your content for you so you don't have to write it yourself, and then you can authentically read it and add a little more soul to it? 'Cause if you don't read your content that AI writes for you and add soul to it, it's not gonna work. You need to actually add soul to your content by adding the 10%, the 20%, modifying it, making it a little bit better. So I'll give you an example of how that works. I'll share my screen real quick and show you how that works. So I go into LinkedIn and I want to write a post. So I click on start a post. You see, it says, share your thoughts. So what I can do is I can click in content and I can say, being part of the right community could be the difference between having connections, relationships, and feeling fulfilled in your business and feeling like you're all alone swimming upstream. I'm grateful that I'm a part of a community called Summit. And while I was in Arizona recently, I posted that I was visiting Phoenix to train a group of 350 financial advisors. And somebody named Travis from Summit reached out to me. And he told me that he wanted to get together with me and he would even offer to drive me to the airport. Not only did he pick me up, meet my friends, but he also took me out for drinks, connected with me deeply, and then drove me to the airport and took such great care of me. I am so grateful for being part of this incredible community. I had so much fun dancing, And connecting with 2,500 entrepreneurs for a weekend in Miami. And I'm so grateful for going to more summit events. It's all about the serendipity when you're authentic and build relationships on a soul level. Looking forward to more. So now I'm going to press generate here. And what this is going to do is consider my goal, my tone, my persona, And it'll consider my instructions, my style. And when I press insert, do you see this? Being part of the right community can transform your entire journey. I've seen firsthand when you show up authentically, magic happens. In Arizona, I was there to train 1,000 financial advisors and Travis, I'm going to tag him, Travis Jack. Travis Jack. Let's see. Uh, let's see who he is. Travis Jack. I'm gonna look up Travis Jack from Arizona. Let's see if I could find him. Travis Jack, Arizona CPA. Here he is, Travis P. Jack. So I'm gonna copy this here, paste it in here, tag him. You see how easy I was able to tag him there? From Summit reached out. His genuine gesture offering to drive me to the airport, meet my friends, and even take me out for drinks is a reminder that real connections goes beyond business. It's about showing your true self and building relationships on a soul level. Communities like Summit create a space for serendipity where you're authentic, where you, where you are authentic and attract the people that really resonate. I've danced with 2,500 entrepreneurs in Miami. Each moment reminded me that success is about blah blah blah. Quick tip: invest in relationships, attend events, and be vulnerable. What's one community that made a difference in your life? How do you nurture those? Let's keep going. Now I want to create an image of me and Travis. I'm gonna actually tag him as Summit at C. I'm gonna press save. I'm gonna click on images here, and I'm gonna go here, and I'm gonna replicate this particular image here. I'm gonna remove this woman here. And I'm going to add Travis's photo here. You see, I'm going to drag his photo into Evie AI, and then I'm going to say, um, connecting on a soul level. I connect on a soul level. I connect On a soul level. Okay, and I'm gonna press generate. And what's gonna happen is it's gonna generate an image with both of our faces in it. Nurture those soul connections. I just add a little more soul. I'm gonna copy this and just put it right into LinkedIn. Do you see that? I connect on a soul level. I connect on a soul level. You see that? And I'm gonna press post.

Now somebody says, Joe, why do I need extra licenses? This is what I like to do. If you have, let's say for example, a group of 5 people that are in the position or 4 people that are in the position to refer business to you, What you want to do is you want to bring them in very close to you. You want to get them trained on how to use LinkedIn so that they can refer business to you. Yes, you do. So why not get a couple of extra licenses included at no additional cost by getting the bundle, getting all those people trained in on how to refer business to you, and that will also help their business, and giving them unlimited content, giving them the ability to leave comments, getting them a community of 1,700 people that are soulful people that want to help each other. I will also throw in the list of our top 200 customers with all of their calendar links, and they all agree to meet with you. So now you have 200 new friends that are thrilled to meet with you with their calendar links and their cell phone numbers and their email address and their LinkedIn profiles and everything about them. Do you understand what this is? The value of this? This is a tremendous value that will help you be able to add $100,000 in profit in your business. I have 527 written recommendations on my LinkedIn profile from people that are getting results. And we're going to look at one right now in particular. So if you go to my profile on LinkedIn, click on my name just like that, and you scroll down to the section called recommendations— there's about, services, featured, activity— and you scroll down to the section called recommendations. Under projects, volunteering, skills, you'll notice the things that people said about me. You see that? These are my clients. So you can read them all. We're not going to read them all. We're just going to pick one from Bobby. Bobby's an authority strategist marketing guy. He's been doing marketing for decades. And he said, I'm a client of Joe Apfelbaum. Evvy AI has changed our business, period. We've had a record growth year since 2018, but we doubled our business revenue in 2025 using Evvii AI. And we're on pace to triple in 2026. This doesn't happen by accident. It happens when you show up every day, build trust, turn conversations into relationships. Joe's system gave us that rhythm. As he says, 5 conversations a day is the key. Do that. Don't just get attention, build authority. And the authority is what drives real growth. Joe's the master teacher networker. Every AI is not an expense. It's an investment in your future success. Wow. What a great— and by the way, this is one of 527 testimonials. And this one I got how many days ago? 5 days ago, 6 days ago, I got this one. So I want, I want to encourage you guys. This is the path I take you through step by step. It's right here. It's all in front of you. If you want, you could take a photo of this. This is the path I take you through step by step. First is the strategy. We help you develop a plan. That means a marketing plan, a business plan, a LinkedIn plan. Clarity is the key here. Once we're clear on how much revenue you need to generate, how much revenue each client needs to pay you, what your offer is, How many clients you need, what the average is, all the things that go into a plan. And by the way, all that happens within the first few seconds of signing up to Evvy AI. And we meet with you within a few seconds. You have your plan done. It doesn't take hours. It takes seconds because AI writes the plan. Then you just identify if it makes sense. Next is the people. We need to figure out who the people are. So we help you figure out who your target market is and who your centers of influence, your ICP and your COI. Done. We give you a list of engaged LinkedIn users to engage on your content. Now, all of a sudden your content goes from being a ghost town to having tons of people that want to comment on your content. And more importantly, you have the right people that you're connecting to every single day. Next is the promise. The promise is what are the pains, goals, dreams, and fears of your ideal clients? We break down the exact promise that you need, all the words that your clients need to hear you say for them to say, yes, I want in. Just like you guys saw, so many people said they want into this program right here, right? You saw how many people in the comments said, I want in, because I'm using the right language. This whole presentation was about using the right language. So we walk you, we do your plan, do your people. Do your promise. We go through all of your posts and identify your stories. We also go through hundreds of websites to research you. For Diana, it might be a little bit of a problem because she's in the Witness Protection Program. But maybe for her, we'll interview her and learn about her and figure out who she really is if she's willing to share. And then we'll optimize your profile. We'll develop your headlines, your about section. We'll create a new banner for you. We'll create a new photo for you, a beautiful one with AI that looks exactly like you. We'll create the right systems. We'll download all of your connections, put them into a system called a LinkedIn Connections Dashboard, and we'll give you a process called Recognize, Strategize, and Prioritize. And then we'll walk you through it step by step. How do you get engagement with the right content pillars? We'll come up with topic ideas for the next year. We'll help you put your people together so you know exactly how to get engagement, invite you to the posting parties, give you templates for what to say always, and give you an AI content generator that will generate comments for you in seconds. And by the way, the one that I use right now is this one. I'm gonna go to LinkedIn right now. And if I wanna leave a comment on a post, I go to Jeff Goldberg, who's one of my centers of influence. I like his post and I simply pull up Evy AI right on the side of LinkedIn. You see, I'm pulling up Evy AI. It opens up right on the side here. I'm gonna close it and reopen it just to kind of show you how easy it is. And when I click into this comment box, Evy AI knows that I wanna leave a comment. And when I click on these 3 dots, it writes the comment, throws it into Evy AI. You see that? I'm going to tag Jeff now so he knows that I'm serious. And I press comment. I just left a thoughtful comment on his post. Do you see how quickly I was able to leave a comment? A comment with soul. And I adore Jeff. He knows I adore him. I'm going to send him a message. I'm going to go here and I'm going to write the message, but I'm going to write it with my voice. Jeff, I just want to let you know that I adore you and I appreciate you. And I'm looking forward to reconnecting with you very soon. Send. Do you see the way I did that? I spoke into it. I spoke into this relationship on LinkedIn, built a connection with someone in real life, but also on LinkedIn with someone that has 10,000 followers, with someone that I want to deeply support, that I want to refer business to. Isn't that incredible? And you have unlimited access to speaking to Evvy AI, to having it write content for you and so on. It's all included in the technology that we give you. It's all 100% included. Pretty cool, right? So now my question to you is, what's stopping you from taking your business to the next level? What's holding you back from getting started today? By the way, what did you love most about this presentation? It would not replace LinkedIn Recruiter. It would complement LinkedIn Recruiter. So if you find someone on LinkedIn that you're trying to recruit, it will help you be able to use it more effectively. LinkedIn Recruiter does not leave comments. LinkedIn Recruiter does not do AI research. LinkedIn Recruiter does not have a community with 1,700 people that will comment on your content. LinkedIn Recruiter doesn't have strategy. It doesn't have training. It doesn't meet you twice a day, every day on Zoom for a year. It doesn't hold your hand. It doesn't help you make $100,000 in profit with the right accountability. What's the one thing that you got from this presentation? What did you learn? And by the way, I'm not looking for all of you to sign up today. I want one person here who's serious. One person who wants to really make $100K in profit, to put $100K in their pocket. What's one person that really can do this together with us? That's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for that one soul that wants to jump in. And if you want in and you want to be that one soul, just write, I want in, and I will come get you and I will help you and I will support you and I will hold your hand through the process. I am here on a mission to support 1,000 people to go deep and to create $100,000 in profit in their business. Only one at a time. I don't serve everybody at once. I serve one person at a time. So if you want the support, put a dollar sign in the chat. We're all happy to help you. Happy to make a difference for you. We want you to make an extra $100,000 in profit this year. So go ahead and let me know that you want. And when you get your messaging super, super clear, when you get your messaging super, super clear and you find a way to do it. Now, some people might think, well, I don't have money to invest right now. I don't have the money to invest. I want to drive an Uber, but I don't have money to buy a car to drive an Uber or to rent a car to buy an Uber. Well, then you don't really want to drive an Uber. If you wanted, you would figure out a way to make it happen because you live in a house, no? And you're paying rent, right? Or something. You figured it out. We all figure out how to get what we want. When I bought my first brownstone, I didn't have $570,000 to buy the brownstone, but I went to the bank and I got a loan. I didn't have the deposit either. So what did I do? I went to family and friends and I got a loan and I figured it out. You figure it out. You don't need more resources to be successful. You need to learn how to be more resourceful. You need to figure it out. If you can't figure out a way to pay for the software, then I'm not going to pay for it for you. But what I will do is if you can figure out a way to pay for the software, I will train you for a year. I will give you my $10,000 training package and not charge you for it. I will give you my $12,000 community and not charge you for it. I will give you $70,000 worth of bonuses and really hold your hand so I can guarantee that you'll make $100,000 in profit this year. But you need to come to me and say, I'm willing to buy the software in order for me to be able to jump in. Do you get it? If you can pay for the software, then I can help many more people. So that's what I'm looking for. I'm looking for people that are willing to pay and invest in the technology. And then the rest is gravy. We teach a lot of things. We teach you how to optimize your profile and we actually optimize it for you using AI. We teach you how to create the CCC strategy, how to go on LinkedIn Live and actually get engagements. We teach you how to Create ideal post format with a hook, main points, call to action, and hashtags. And we do everything in a, not in an overwhelming way, because there's a lot to learn on LinkedIn. There's a lot to learn, but we do it slowly. We do it slowly, methodically, one thing at a time. And we teach you how to get 5 conversations a day. What would happen to your business if you actually had 5 conversations a day, every day? By the way, networking is something you have to do continuously and forever. It's not something you got to do sometimes. So whatever you're going to learn here, you're going to apply for the rest of your life. So if you're in business for the next 10 years or the next 5 years or the next 7 years, or even just the next 3 years, learning this can help you impact and generate hundreds of thousands of dollars over your career. It's working for my clients. It's working for me. It's working for my employees. And I want it to work for you. But LinkedIn is time-consuming. And if you're inconsistently posting and you're doing generic outreach and you have no strategy, you're not going to succeed. That's why most people fail. They send connection requests without reviewing anything. They're replacing their personal stories and lived experiences with selling, selling, selling, 'cause they're desperate. So they're trying to sell. Nobody wants you to— nobody likes you to sell to them. People like to buy, but they hate when you try to sell them something. So I invite one person into this world to be authentic, and you might want to be that person. Instead of pitching, connect, build relationships, teach something of value. This is one of my clients here. She invited me to speak in front of hundreds of CEOs, and I was so grateful that she brought me in. Powerful stuff. So I'm going to give you guys a workflow, but before I give you the workflow, I want to know, what do you think is one action you can take from being here today? Maybe the one action is I need to set up a meeting to talk more about my business. Just write meeting in the chat. If you need to set up a meeting, write meeting in the chat. What do you guys think? What are you thinking in your head? What's, what's your next action? Maybe your next action is I need to learn LinkedIn. I need to hire a coach. I need to get a trainer. By the way, if you hired a coach that charges you $250 an hour and you worked with them for 20 hours, that would be a couple thousand dollars, right? But what if you had unlimited access to support? What if you had daily meetings 500 times a year? What if you had access to a community of 1,700 people? What if you had your strategy done for you so you didn't have to worry about your strategy? What if you had a list of people that were waiting for you to reach out to them with their emails and cell phone numbers? Would you hesitate to call them and help them and support them? No. And I have another question for you guys. Are you a giver or are you a taker? In the chat, let me know. I'm curious to know who I'm talking to. Some people like taking. Some people like faking. Some people like waking and baking. What are you? I see Diana's a giver. I can tell. I see Jay's a giver. I can tell. I see Michael's a giver. I can tell. I'm a giver. There's a book called Give and Take by Adam Grant. He said some people are takers, some people are givers, and some people are matchers. It's important. It's important to take when people offer you something, but it's also important to be focused on making a difference for other people. So I want to leave you with that. I want to leave you with the workflow. Here's the work you need to be doing every day. And if you use Evy AI, you'd be working 10 times faster. Step number 1 is connect to 20 people a day. By the way, I have 99 hacks. I typically sell the course for $1,000, but today I'm offering it to everyone here for $99. It's 99 1-minute videos. So if you want the 99 hacks for $99, put 99 in the chat. 99. And I'm gonna give you those 99 videos for $99 if you guys are interested. And I'll also give you a free video if you write 99 in the chat. I'll give you a free video that you could watch. It's one of my 99 hacks. Maybe we'll even watch it together here. So put 99 in the chat. It's evviai.com/99hacks. I'll put the link to it in the chat so you guys can access it for those that want it. It looks like Diana wants the 99 hacks. I went ahead and put it in the chat for you. So number 1, send 20 personalized connection requests per day. Number 2 is post 3 to 5 value-driven posts each week. Number 3 is engage. Spend 15 minutes a day commenting on posts of prospects, peers, and influencers. Number 4 is send DMs. I like sending 10 DMs every single day. Start a conversation, share a resource, ask a smart question. And if you do this consistently across the 4 actions, even just 30 minutes a day, even just 15 minutes a day, compounds into significant visibility, authority, and inbound opportunities within 60 to 90 days. And if you scan this, you'll get into my profile. You'll be able to see my profile. Everybody has a QR code that they can see. And if you want to see a demonstration video of our technology, you can just send the word demo to 973-841-8868. And we have a pretty comprehensive demo that we walk you through all the details and all the plans. So you can write this down, 973-841-8868, send the word demo, and you'll get a link with a comprehensive demonstration of our technology and how you can start using it today to help you grow your business. Pretty cool, right? That we have this available. Now we've built agents that you guys can all use. But I told you guys we would take a look at the 99 Hacks. So let's start with that. Let's go ahead and open up this website. I'm going to open up a website right now with our 99 Hacks. So this is the 99 Hacks website. This is what it looks like. If you go there, I sent you the link in the chat. You'll be able to see this. And you'll see that it's available right now for $99. If you go to the community and try to buy it in the community, It's $1,000, but you'll be able to get it for free. Let's talk about the Calendly meeting hack. If you want to book more calls on LinkedIn, this one's a goldmine. Here's the move: search the word Calendly on LinkedIn, filter by first-degree connections, and boom! You'll see a list of people who already have a booking link on their profile. Want to go next level? Head to Google and type site:linkedin.com calendly.com sales trainer. You'll find pages of people with Calendly links right in their profiles. Click through, Find their booking page and instantly schedule a call. Want to get the rest of the 99 hacks? Click below to get access to all 99 LinkedIn hacks so you can get your next 100 clients without spending a fortune on ads. Did you guys understand that hack? It's very, very simple. If you go to google.com and you type in site:linkedin.com calendly, .com space the target market you're looking for. Let's say for example, outsourced CFO. Okay. And you press enter. Google will then show you all the people on the LinkedIn website that have the word calendly.com and outsourced CFO on their website, on their profile. And then you can go ahead and book meetings with all these outsourced CFOs. You see, they all have Calendlys. You see right here, the Calendly is right here. You might not even have to go to LinkedIn. You can just get the Calendly from right here. How cool is that? You see that? Calendly.com, calendly.com, calendly.com. How amazing is that? And so you could just book meetings with these people, just like I booked a meeting with Jay for tomorrow at 4:30, but you can book thousands of meetings on people's calendars just like that. Now the question is, you might say, well, these people don't want to, don't want me to book a meeting with them because I want to sell them something. So we'll stop trying to sell Nobody wants to buy anything from you. You're like, but how am I going to make money? Build a relationship. You get it? Don't try to sell things to people. Nobody wants to sell. Nobody wants to be sold to. People love to buy from people that they know, they like, and they trust. They don't want you to sell them anything. So I'm going to leave it at that. Thank you.
