How to turn linkedin into a lead gen machine

In this 2‑hour live webinar, Joe Apfelbaum walks participants through turning LinkedIn into a high‑volume lead‑generation engine using the Evy AI platform. He begins by emphasizing the importance of a personalized social card with QR code as the first point of capture, shows how to create, share, and track it, and demonstrates importing LinkedIn connection archives into Evy AI. The Connections Analyzer then segments thousands of contacts by role, company, activity, and recency. Joe uses the AI research agent to auto‑enrich profiles from 500+ web sources, generating rich personal and professional data (emails, phone numbers, birthdays, social links, company details). He creates custom outreach sequences—emails, LinkedIn messages, Instagram DMs, Facebook messages—using AI‑generated copy that references the enriched data. To‑dos and follow‑up tasks are attached to each contact, with reminders and priority tags. He shows integrations with HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Google Contacts, and Make.com for syncing contacts and automating workflows. The Labs suite (Bulk Link Opener, URL Cleaner, Newsletter Subscriber Saver) is used to harvest subscriber lists and clean URLs. Throughout, Joe demonstrates sorting and filtering connections (e.g., founders added in a specific month), tagging known vs. unknown contacts, and mass‑messaging second‑degree connections while protecting core relationships. He also promotes the Bundle Plus subscription, which adds pro research capacity, a 5,000‑fastest‑growing‑companies list, trend finder, and other premium tools. The session ends with a Q&A, live demos of the AI‑generated content, and a call to action to join the 10‑day Facebook challenge and the LinkedIn Influencer Summit.
Chapters
your card with people. If you want to generate leads using a platform like LinkedIn, then getting a social card is a really important component. Getting a place where people could put their information and can save you into their profile is really important. So I'm going to share a link to my social card. And by the way, I save my social card as an asset so I can use it over and over. So I'm going to copy my asset from the assets section inside Evy AI. Essentially, it's like a template. And then I'm going to go ahead and save that, send that asset in the chat of Zoom. So the first step is if you want to generate a lead, you have to get people to enter their information. For example, John, he came as a result of entering his information into Into the social card. He got the social card and he entered his information into the social card, and then I was able to further enrich that information. Okay, so if you don't have a social card and you need one, you can just go to Evvy AI, sign up, and get your social card and get it set up. And if you already have a social card, then share it inside our community. We have a community of almost 2,000 people. And many of the people have shared their social card in the community. You see that? You can check out everybody's social card right here. I'm going to go ahead and just kind of show you some of the people's social cards. This is James's social card. This is Barbara Harrington's social card. This is Penny's social card. This is Elaine's social card right here. You see? Each person can customize their social card to have their image. To have their favorite color, to make it look exactly the way that they wanna make it. And when somebody saves you into their phone, when you call them, so if Mindy calls me and Mindy's saved in my phone, it's usually gonna get through to me versus if Mindy's not saved in my phone and Mindy calls me, it's just gonna be a number. I'm not gonna know who it is. It might be spam. I don't know. So it's important to get your social card and get people to save your phone number into their contacts. And this way, when you call them, they see who's calling and they're much more likely to pick it up. So I highly recommend getting a social card. With Evvy AI, you can see how many people viewed your social card, how many times people scan the QR code, and how many people share their details with you. Because once they scan it, not only can they save the card to their phone, But they can also share their details with you. So if you scan it, you'll see how that looks. So go ahead and try to scan this with your phone if you want to. And this way you'll see the way my card looks, or you can click on the link in the chat either way. But if you scan the QR code, we get notified that you scan the QR code and then the scan number goes up here, which is nice. I also screenshotted my card with my QR code. On my phone so that I have it as an image stored on my phone that I could always use when I'm at events. So I'll tell you guys a quick story. Yesterday I went to an event. And by the way, if you want to see who scanned the card, if you click on filters on the top right corner and you click on came in from, you can click on social card and be able to see all the people that shared, that clicked on the social card and share their information. So this guy Adam came in. He works for a property management company in New York City. Turns out he has the same birthday as me. Isn't that crazy? I met him at an event last night. So as soon as I saw him, I said, hey, scan my card. After we built rapport, he scanned my card, saved his information. Then I clicked a button, the Evvy AI research agent, and it started researching him all over the internet. And it gave me a bunch of fun facts about him. And I said, hey Adam, I saw that you closed 100 deals in the first 3 years in the New York City market. That's impressive. How'd you do that? He starts talking. 2 minutes later, I said, wow, 4.5 days on the market in your transactions. That's super fast. And I said, by the way, how did you learn French? And then we're just talking about his university basketball thing. Where he enjoys traveling to. And he's like, dude, I wanna do business with you. I was like, no problem. I'm gonna call you tomorrow. And so I set a to-do list for him to call me tomorrow. So here's a little to-do thing. You can go to your to-dos and you can have all the different things you need to do with each contact. You guys understand? So what I love to do is to give myself to-dos for each person. And then follow up with those people based on the to-do. So for example, today I need to connect Morty with this guy named Joel, you see? And so I wrote this little thing with the agent and then I said, put it into the to-do for Friday. So on Friday, I'm going to do this thing. If you want to be able to get clients, you need to be organized. You need to get their information. You need to put them into a system, research them, and build real relationships with them. If you don't do that, you're not going to even know who you're connected to. So one of the things I tell everyone to do is download your connections and import them into Evy AI. Do you see under connections, there's a section called import on the top here? Have you guys done this yet, or do you need to do it? In the chat, let me know if you've done this, if you've imported your zip file yet. Or you need to do it. If you need to do it, on the left side over here of Evy AI, there's a section called Learning Hub. In the Learning Hub, there's a section called Quick Links. Under Quick Links, you can click on Download Your Connections, and then you can download your archive. Your archive is your zip file from LinkedIn. Okay? Everyone needs a new archive from LinkedIn every month. When was the last time that you downloaded your LinkedIn connections? If you haven't done it recently, I highly recommend you go to this section, link number 4, and you ask LinkedIn for the connections. Now click on the first circle on the top. Do it every single month, and you will be able to see the people that are changing jobs. Why? If I go into the section called Labs in Evvii AI, so Mindy, we need triggers for when to contact people. So if I click on the Connections Analyzer and I add my zip file here, so I'm going to go ahead and add my zip file to this that I just downloaded, and I press Analyze My Connections, I'll be able to see all of my connections analyzed. Which means it'll compare it to the last time I uploaded my connections. So for example, I have 28,968, 1,000 with an email, 25,000 different companies. And I go through and it says where they work, who they are, most common job titles, which is founder, CEO, president, whatever. I could then look them up by their domain name inside Evvii AI. Or I can browse every single person and filter them. So for example, if I want to see, show me all the females, I click on females and it shows me all the females. You see, if I want to be able to see data on my posts, I can see all the data on my posts. I posted 12,150 times, 15 per week in the last 12 months alone. My longest streak in weeks was 576 weeks in a row that I posted. And here's my growth. over time, how many times I posted, where I posted, the hour of the day, the week, everything. Every year with the things I spoke about each year, broken down year by year. And then all of my hooks, all of my hashtags, analyzed everything. But the beauty is not— go ahead.
We have a question by Gary. He said, is there a way to download second connections?
Yes, there is a way to download second connections, but there's too many for you to download. So it would be hard to download every single second connection. There's millions and millions and millions, but there is a way. If there's a specific segment that you want, I can teach you how to download that segment. But if you see over here, how to engage, it shows all my, all my comments. And then here it shows me the difference between this time and last time. So I could see all the new connections. I can see who's no longer connected to me and I can break down, I can compare myself over time if I have 2 zip files. So I can go here and pick a zip file from the past. And I could see the difference between one zip file and another zip file. Okay. Between one connections thing and another connections thing. All right. I'm going to go back to LinkedIn because I want you guys to learn something very important. If you have a bunch of people that are waiting to connect with you on LinkedIn, for example, Susie Hall, I want you to go to their profile and take a look at their profile and see if there's an opportunity for you to do business with them. How do you do that? Well, the first thing you want to do is you want to accept the connection request if you see that they're a normal person. You see, like this person's an EO member, you see. So I'm going to go ahead and accept her connection request. I just accepted her connection request. Then I'm going to organize it into a list. So I have a list called EO. You see, I have a lot of lists over here, but I have EO. I'm going to tag her as an EO member. And now if I go to my network, you're going to see Susie Hall is here. But now I don't have any of Susie Hall's contact information, right? No email, no phone number, nothing. No connection details. I don't know anything about her. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to click on contact info and I'm like, oh my goodness, she has her birthday. She has her email. She has her address. She has her website. She has everything here. Mm-hmm. So why not enrich it from visible screen? Do you see it says enrich from visible screen? Can you guys see that? I'm going to click enrich from visible screen. It's going to read her email, her birthday, her website, all her information. And then if I want, I can press save. And if I press save, it'll save all the information properly here. You see, now the location is not here, so it's kind of hidden. It just says United States, but I can figure out the person's location by going down to their experience and seeing where they've been working. You see Boise, Idaho, Boise, Idaho, Boise, Idaho. So she's probably in Boise, Idaho. So I'm going to say Boise, Idaho. Okay. Now I'm going to press save. Oh, and her position is CEO. Okay. I'm going to press save. So she's the founder and CEO, 35 years, global entrepreneur, blah, blah, blah. You see that? Now I want to research her a little bit more. So there's a research agent that I'm going to use called Evy AI. It'll research around 500 websites in just a few seconds. Do you see that? I have her phone number, her email address, her Instagram, her Facebook, her LinkedIn, her target market, her book that she wrote that she's a bestseller on Amazon. You see, you guys see that? She's part— the past president of EO in the Idaho chapter. You see that? She has 20 LEED-certified projects. Write her an email thanking her for connecting with me on LinkedIn. Tell her I'm in the EO Eastbridge chapter and ask her if she has any questions about LinkedIn or AI or anything related to that, that I'm happy to inform her. And tell her I'm really proud of all her accomplishments. That she's a distinguished author and influential leader and her coach's daughter, all that stuff. Just mention that in the email and write me a nice email for her that she would probably open and reply to. Do you guys see the way the agent has drafted me an email that is super custom to her because of the research that I just did? What are the chances That she's going to respond to my email versus me just sending her a generic email. Super custom. I'm a member of the EO Eastbridge chapter. So I've been following your kind of work for leaders to grow their business and blah, blah, blah. Now the beauty is that I have all this other information that I can tell it to add to. It might be a little creepy to add everything, Improve the email and add this information. Okay, let's just see what it does. It breaks it down. That's a lot of ground covered. I'd love to hear what what's on your mind. Do you have questions about LinkedIn, AI, or anything related to them? I'm happy to share what I've learned, whether it's building your presence. Da da da. Just reply to this email if you're ever curious about anything. Now write her a welcome DM that is similar, just welcoming her to my network and telling her I was so glad to be connected to her on LinkedIn. Look at that. I can take this information, go to LinkedIn, and now send her a beautiful custom welcome message. How nice is that? Can you guys see the level of customization that I have here versus what most people do? Now what I want to do is I want to add her phone number into Evie AI. So what I can just do is I can hover over the phone number right over here. You see her phone number is right here. This is actually our Cornerstone office. I don't really care so much about that. I'm going to go to Facebook just to see. Oh, look at that. She is on Facebook with all these other domains here as well. I'm going to click on about, distinguished author, blah, blah, blah. Check out her reels, check out her photos. You guys see all this information that I have here about this person? Really powerful. Now over here on the right, I can also click on Facebook here and it'll do a search for her personal profile. You see, and you can show that she's already a friend of mine. You see, and it looks like she's single as well. So I'm going to click on about, I'm going to click on personal details and look how much more information I have. I can see her daughters, her son, her mother, her gender. You see that her location that she hides on LinkedIn, but she doesn't hide it on Facebook. So I'm going to go ahead and save all that information as a note. So that I have it. Now I'm going to say I know her and I need to ask her if she needs intros or not. You see, I marked her down as I know her. Can you guys see that? I'm going to click on message to see if we've messaged. And I'm going to say really impressive profile. Thanks for connecting with me on LinkedIn. You see that? Looking forward to getting to know you. I'm going to delete all that. Okay. So I just sent her a message on Facebook and I sent her a message on LinkedIn. If I want to save her Facebook personal profile, all I got to do is copy her link, go to resources here, and then I can add her Facebook profile as a resource here. You guys see this and press save. And it just adds her Facebook profile here as a resource. You could add resources, which basically has information about each person inside Evvy AI. To-dos. I can say, find out her cell phone number, see if she's on WhatsApp. She's an EO member that just connected with me on LinkedIn and see if there's an opportunity for me to work with her team. Also look into her book on Amazon. Okay. So it's gonna remind me to do this in 3 days. I don't have to do it right now. I'm in the middle of a webinar. But in three days, I'm going to get an email saying, "Hey, find out her cell phone number. See what she's up to on WhatsApp." Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. You guys get it? Because chances are she's in the same WhatsApp group as me. I just have to look into it. I don't want to do it right now. So boom! It's going to remind me to do it. By the way, if you're finding this helpful, write helpful in the chat. Do we have integration with HubSpot? Yes, we do. So you see it says HubSpot here. I press sync with HubSpot. Now Susie's in my HubSpot, right? Helpful. This is helpful. If I want to send her to GoHighLevel, I push sync with GoHighLevel. If I want to send her to my Google Contacts, I press send to my Google Contacts. You see that? If I want to put her on a spreadsheet, I press send to make.com. Make.com puts it on a spreadsheet for me. Okay? So you can connect with, you can connect Evie AI to a webhook via make.com. So this is a very powerful thing that you can do. If you're connecting with people, you want to go a little bit deeper. You want to get to know them on Instagram. You want to get to know them on Facebook. You want to really connect with them. And by the way, when somebody on Instagram only has 300 followers, but they have thousands and thousands on LinkedIn and they're not responding to you on LinkedIn, if you message them on Instagram, they're much more likely to respond because they have very little noise on Instagram versus the amount of noise that they have on other platforms. Hey, congratulations on being past president of EO in the Idaho chapter. It was really impressive looking at your LinkedIn profile and grateful that you sent me a connection request. Okay. So I sent her a message on Facebook. I sent her a message on LinkedIn. I have an email ready to go out. I sent her a message on, on Instagram. I'm following her on Instagram now. I have many different touchpoints to connect with this person. And that's what I want to impress upon all of you today. I want to impress upon all of you that you have the opportunity to go deeper with people. Write deeper in the chat if you, if you know what I'm talking about. You have the opportunity to leverage relationships and unlock growth like you've never done before, but you haven't been doing it. You have not been doing it. So, going deeper, it's really important. Here, watch this video. Yesterday was a pretty incredible— oh, what happened to the video? I'm going to go back to Evie AI, try to find that video for you guys. It's an impressive video. Watch this.
Yesterday was a pretty incredible day. I did like 5 separate sessions in front of many dozens of people teaching them different things from how to get a job using LinkedIn to how to use LinkedIn and Substack to 99 different hacks to leverage LinkedIn for people that are pretty advanced to how to use the connections dashboard to segment all your connections and turn them into meaningful data to help you be able to leverage your relationships. Most people are not leveraging their relationships properly, and it's because they don't properly have a list of people that are segmented properly with an action plan for each person. So just incredible. Plus I had an amazing meeting with the developers of Evie AI to have a conversation about how we can build something that people would want to share, something that would really impact them.
And we came up with something just incredible. So excited about what we're going to launch. Isn't that cool, guys? I was able to share that with you. I'm going to put this link in the chat so you guys can look at that video later. And you can like and comment on that post. That is a post that we have. Now, if I want to comment on this post myself, it's very easy for me to comment on the post because I have Evie AI. Evie AI writes a custom comment on each post. Yvonne says, is there a training on using LinkedIn and Substack? We definitely are planning on having Substack trainings. So if you guys haven't seen my Substack, I have a pretty active Substack. I'm not crazy on Substack yet, but we're gonna be doing something called the LinkedIn Influencer Summit. And we're gonna have a LinkedIn trainer that has tens of thousands of people on Substack. She's gonna be doing a training on the LinkedIn Influencer Summit about LinkedIn and Substack. So that's coming up, um, in February. Uh, but we can definitely do additional trainings on how to use LinkedIn and Substack. Evvy AI writes content for Substack. So this article, was dictated by me, but written inside Evy AI. The images were created by Evy AI based off real images. These are actually real images right here, but based off the real images, Evy AI went and created additional images for me. And as you can see, this is a very comprehensive article specifically for commercial painters, you know, painting contractors. And yeah, really, really powerful Substack articles. So if you guys haven't checked out Substack, then it is a powerful place for you guys to be posting. Um, yeah, so that's the idea. But again, going deeper with people is going to be the key. Most people never go deeper. So how do you go deeper with someone? The way that you go deeper with them is first you have a list of connections. So for example, these are my connections right here. You see, I have 34,000 people in my connections inside Evvii AI. So I clicked on connections and I have my list of connections. Susie Hall is my latest connection. You see that? I saved her into Evvii AI. Now, if I want to be able to sort my connections, do you see on the top there's a button that says sort? Have you guys ever seen that before? Put a Y if you've seen the sort button before, put an N if you've never seen the sort feature. Because I'll walk you through this feature because this feature will help you out a ton, a ton. Put a Y or an N in the chat. Looks like Janina saw it. Paul has not. Yvonne has not. I want a couple more people to give me a Y or an N if you guys don't mind. With love. I just need to know if you guys have seen it before. I wonder how much time I should spend on it. Habiba said Y. Okay, only 4 of you responded. We have dozens of you here, so give me a couple more responses. Okay, so I'm going to click on sort over here. Now, when you're sorting your connections, when you're sorting your connections, you want AI to help you be able to reach out to people. So you need to make sure that you're sorting the people out that are most important to you in your business. So for example, I have 34,000 people I have to sort. It's going to take me a while to sort these 34,000. It's probably going to take me a few weeks to do. But if I do this diligently from my cell phone while I'm waiting in line, it'll happen pretty quick. So I'll show you how I'm going to sort out, for example, people that are founders. So I searched for the title founder. There's 6,091 founders, but I want founders that I connected with in January, To February of 2026. Okay, there's only 22, so that's pretty fast. She came with me on the cruise. She's a lawyer. Her name is Deanne. I actually need to follow up with her, so I'm going to press follow up. And then I'm going to say I know her and she is open for intros. John, he's a client of Evie AI. I gotta follow up with him as well. I'm gonna press follow up. And then I'm gonna say I know him and he's open for intros. Isa, I met her in San Diego when my ship got stuck in San Diego, my plane got canceled. And so I went to the Speakeasy Mastermind. I don't need to follow up with her, but I do know her. And I would have to ask her if she wants an intro. David, The founder and CEO of Elcard. He's a client of mine. I gotta follow up with him 'cause he hasn't been doing anything. I gotta follow up with him and I need to ask him if he's open to intros. Brendan Bates, the name is not familiar. So this is what I do. If the name is not familiar, I'll right-click on the thing and I'll do open in split view. And I'll take a look at the name and say, do I really know this person well? I think I met him at a networking event. I'm not really sure. Okay. I don't know, but I'm going to ask him, hopefully you're doing fantastic. How have you been since the last time we spoke? Okay. I'm going to send him a message now. I'm also going to look at his contact info. I see his cell phone number is here. I'll probably call him up. So this is a person that I want to follow up with. I'm going to press follow up, but I'm going to say I don't know him. You see it says over here, no. I'm gonna press, I don't know him. Donald, Donald Coulson, I definitely don't know. I'm gonna press no. Kalen Reddicup, I gotta follow up with him and I know him and I need to ask him if he's open for intros. Jen Perez, the Spicy CEO, I know her and I think I need to ask her if she wants intros. Michelle Hummel, I need to follow up with and she's definitely— know her and she's definitely open for intros. Tyler Matson. I got to follow up with him and I know him and he's open for intros. Raj from Botcot. I don't know. I press, I don't know. Elmira. Uh, she's, her name sounds familiar, but I don't think I know her. I don't know her. I don't know her. I don't know. I don't know. Do you see that? I'm kind of just tagging these people as I don't know. And this person I know very well, and I need to follow up with her as well, but I know her and she's open for intros. And I'm done. I just did my 22 founders for January of 2026. Do you guys understand what I just did? I gave myself a bunch of work to do, but this work is very, very powerful work. Why? Because that's where the money is. That's literally where your money is. Your money is sitting there. Waiting for you. But the problem is you didn't do this work. You haven't sorted your 22 people from January or from last year or from the year before. That's the power of real networking. As Paul said, that's real networking, going deeper, not just hoping for the best or spraying and praying and doing things randomly. But this is forever sorted. This is not a list that's sorted for 5 minutes, the agent can see who I know and who I don't know now. This agent can literally see who I know and who I don't know. So if I say all the people that are founders that I don't know, that I connected with in January of 2026, can you shoot them a message inviting them to the webinar that I'm doing? I don't even know them. Invite them. What do I care? Email them. Do you get what I'm saying? And then the agent can go hit those people up and be a little more aggressive trying to connect with the people that I don't even know. But with the people that I know, like Abby and Janina and Gary and Joel, I'm going to be a little more sensitive and I'm going to be the one that's kind of, you know, being more thoughtful with those people. But with the people that I don't even know, I can kind of test that, test things out. You know what I mean? I could take risks. I could have the AI go unleash the, unleash the power of the AI, see what happens, but don't touch my people. You know what I mean? Like my people don't touch. So I can go to connections. I can click on filters on the top right corner and I can say, show me people that That I don't know or that I know. I'm gonna say, show me people that I know. I'm gonna press apply. And now I can filter out for all these people. You guys just saw these people like Michelle Hummel. I can filter it out and I can set up a call with her and be like, oh my God, Michelle, what's going on? We haven't spoken in forever. What are you up to? If I picked up the phone and called Michelle right now, she'd be thrilled to hear from me. Thrilled. And the same thing with the 20, like 10 other people that I sorted. So I can go and edit this a little bit more if I want, or I can open it up. I can go ahead and open it up. I can click on contact info and I can open the card. And then I can click on contact information and enrich from visible screen. It'll capture her birthday, her address, her phone number, All of her websites. You see everything all organized inside Evie AI, and then I could push it into my GoHighLevel. I can add her to a list. You see, I'm going to add her to the AI Bot Summit because that's where I met her. AI Bot Summit 2026, and I can add additional information. She's in In Florida, Orlando, Florida. You see, I just added her as Orlando, Florida. I can add her website from here to a company domain, press search. Now, if I want to see if anybody works at her company here inside Evvy AI, I can click on this little thing here and it'll show me all her employees. You see? She has a real agency. You guys see? And I could research any of these employees using any of these tools, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, whatever. It's all right in front of me. So I just pick up the phone and call people. And you don't realize how powerful it is when you have this data. If I research Michelle with one click of a button, And I look at her on 500 websites in 5 seconds and I know everything about her. Wow. Wow. She established over 30 chapters of Social Media Enthusiasts nationwide. Her journey began as a blog called 365 Ways to Become a Millionaire. She published a book series, A Social Media Magnet. She's a 2-time winner of the Alignable Cincinnati Best Business person of the year. Holy crap! She moved to Florida, so I know that. That's like insider information. But I gotta touch base with her. I gotta ask her what's cooking, good looking. I'm gonna click on Instagram. I'm gonna click follow. I'm not even following her. I'm following her on her other account, Michelle Marketing. You see? I am following her here. So I can message her asking her how she's doing. What's up? How you doing? Hope business is doing well for you. Let's reconnect. How you doing? Hope business is going well for you. Let's reconnect. You see that? I sent her an Instagram message right there. If I didn't have the AI research done for me like that, I would have never been able to go and do this. I would have to go Googling and Googling and Googling. Who needs to Google? What are you doing? Just click a button. Why waste your time? Just click a button and build a real relationship with a person. This is how you do what you need to do. Somebody said, does it make a difference? Does it make sense to do additional verification with RocketReach? RocketReach doesn't do verification. They just have a database like ZoomInfo that's probably outdated. You want fresh information from the internet, not information from whatever, from like random databases. Sure, you could use those. And we have an entire database of information inside Evy AI. So you could look up, if I go into Evy AI on the left side, I can click on prospects and I could put any domain. You see that? I click on the domain and I could do fb.com. And I press search. And all of a sudden it shows me everybody that works on Facebook. You see? If I want to search with the agent, I can open up the agent on the side here. Do you see there's a little agent on the side now? And I can say, find me the top 10 painting contractor companies in New Jersey and give me their websites, URLs, domains in a numbered list. Okay. So it's going to show me the top 10 painting contractor companies in New Jersey and their websites. Okay. Now what I want to do is I want to be able to look at every single person here. So I'm going to copy this domain, njpaint.com. So I'm going to go to njpaint.com and it's going to show me all the employees that work at NJ Paint. I don't know why it's not showing me anybody that works there. Leading source for, oh, It's just a lead gen site. It's not a company. Okay, good. That's why. I'm going to go here, push this in here. Alpine Paint, the 82 employees that work at Alpine Paint. Do you see that? It shows me it's a painting and sandblasting contractor company that's family owned for 50 years. They're award winner of the PCA Best Industrial Project of 2025. So if I want, I can contact the CEO of the company or the supervisor. or whoever I want inside the company. They're all here. You guys see that? That saves you a lot of time when you're looking into a company. And I'm going to say, show me 48 at a time. And it'll show me 48 people at a time to find all the right people. Now I don't have to necessarily save this, these people here into my list, unless I find someone that I think would be really the ideal person inside the company that I really want to work with. So I could look this, and by the way, you can see all the locations that they're at. You see where they're based, Paterson, New Jersey. Here's a foreman. I'm looking, I'm looking for the right title of the right person that I want. I want the owner. You guys see that? So chances are this guy's in Palm Beach and then there's Cape Town, South Africa. So this is a big company. So I'm going to go ahead and do research on this guy. Andrew Piccarelli, the owner of Alpine Painting and Sandblasting. And you see family heritage founded in 1975, residential. They're a $12 million powerhouse. You see company has received multiple awards in safety and blah, blah, blah. So I can easily call this guy, build a relationship with him. I see he's on Twitter. He's the LAX dad. He's a gymnast dad. You see, I could look up the company on LinkedIn. I can follow the company if I want. I can look at their employees here on LinkedIn as well. This is me doing what I need to do in order to take my life and my business to the next level. So if I want to build a relationship with these people, What do I need to do? Get their information. Use the right technology. Build yourself a list of prospects that you can actually do business with and use platforms like Evy AI that will help you be able to do things fast. Help you out to build real relationships, not waste your time. It's so easy to waste your time, but I say dig into your existing network first. For all of you that are here, look through your existing network first. Make a list of people in your existing network. For example, the people that had lunch with me at the 833 Network, these are people I need to follow up with. You see, I have a lot of follow-up to do. I don't ever need to go and do more. Can I get my subscribers from my newsletter? If you go to our tools, have you ever seen our tools, Mindy? These tools here, Evie US tools. So if you're a Bundle Plus subscriber, you get a lot of extra tools. So if you click on LinkedIn Savers, we have a section here called Newsletter Subscriber Saver. Do you see? So I'm going to click on Newsletter Subscriber Saver and it's going to say, go to your newsletter and copy and paste your subscriber list right here. So Mindy, I'm gonna go into the newsletter right now. I'm gonna click on my profile and I'm gonna scroll down to the section called newsletters. You see? And then I'm gonna open up my recent newsletter and I'm gonna click on my subscribers. So I have 6,692 subscribers here. You see? So now I'm gonna scroll down through the subscribers. Not everybody has tens of thousands or 6,000, you know, 66,000, you might have whatever. You might have 500 or 300 or 700 or 1,000 or whatever. What you want to do is you want to load all the subscribers so you can actually see them. Do you see what I'm doing, Mindy? Scrolling down. It's under Labs, Janina. If you go to evviai.com, you log in, you click on Labs on the left side. And then you're going to see on the right side, it'll say the Bulk Link Opener. That's one of the tools. You could open up the Bulk Link Opener, and then you could say view all tools. And it'll show you all the different tools. Okay. Tell me if you can see the Bulk Link Opener or the URL Cleaner inside tools. Do you see it on the top right corner? It says URL Cleaner inside the labs. When you click on labs, do you see it says Connections Analyzer?
I see the Post URL Cleaner.
Yeah, so click on the Post URL Cleaner, open it, and then on the top, on the top, does it say See All Other Tools?
It says All Tools.
Yeah, click on All Tools and you'll see all these tools. Got it. That's the fast way to get there. Yeah. But do you guys, do you guys see the way that I'm loading all these people now? I'm not gonna load everybody here right now. I'm just gonna copy these just to show you a couple. It does take a while for LinkedIn to load all your subscribers, but once you have your subscribers, then you paste them in here and Evie AI makes a list of all your subscribers here, Mindy. You see, now I can send them to the bulk link opener and open them one at a time, or I can download them as a CSV file. I can copy the URLs. I can copy the table and put it into a sheet. I'm going to go to sheets.new. You see, I have all these people right here, and then I could identify the ones that I actually want to have a relationship with, and I could put them into Evvy AI. You see, this makes life much, much easier. So let's say for example, I'm like, okay, I want to see all the second-degree connections. You see that I'm, that I need to possibly connect with. So I could filter for just second-degree. And this shows me all the second-degree connections that possibly have the word CEO in their headlines. I'm going to hit cancel. Fra— I'll do fractional. You see, these 2 people are fractionals that have subscribed to me, but I haven't connected with. You see? So here's a fractional. So I can say newsletter subscriber, high energy prompting newsletter subscriber. You see that? I'm gonna press save. And now I saved her into Evie AI. Now I'm gonna research her a little bit. I'm gonna click on her contact info here, see if she shares anything. You see, she shares a website. I'm gonna click on her about section just to see if she shares anything here. She has quite a lot of information about her here. You see, I'm gonna add a note with all that information into Evie AI. So I have it as a note. I like adding notes into Evie AI about things I wanna read later. About my prospects. I take a look at other things. So sometimes I'll find her experience and her education, her licenses. You see, looks like she teaches AI. That's really nice. I save all that into Evvy AI. I can then say, go through and try to identify if there are emails anywhere there, because I don't want to have to read through the whole thing to see if her email's there. So it'll kind of sift through and say, okay, well, it found that she's a this, she works at this company, she's a fractional, she blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm like, okay, well, let's see what else we can find on her. Let's use the Abby AI agent. So far, we don't even have her last name. You guys see, she hides her last name. Oh, look at that. The agent picked up her last name. I love that. You see, that's her actual last name. Okay, well, now we have additional information about her. We're gonna look at her website. Go to contact information. See if she shares her phone number there. Sometimes people share phone numbers so I can call her. I could look her up on Pinterest, on Facebook. You see, I click on Facebook, see what she shares there in her about section. Do you see a phone number there, guys? You see a phone number here? That's her WhatsApp number. So now I'm going to tell Evie AI to take her WhatsApp number from Facebook. You guys see? I just got her phone number from Facebook and her email address. Boom. How long did that take me? She does not exist in ZoomInfo or RocketReach or anywhere else because she has a tiny business. But I have all her information right here, front and center in front of me. And I just— 2 clicks. That was the whole thing. I'm gonna add this as a note so I have it later. Now I sent her into my GoHighLevel. She's a newsletter subscriber. Why not send her stuff? You see, send her stuff, build a relationship with her, get to know her a little bit. I'm going to go here and just capture her actual name here. Tanya Dominguez. I, by mistake, replaced her company name with her, with it when I enriched it from Facebook. I'm going to press save. Okay. So now I actually have her name. I have her phone number. I have her WhatsApp, whatever. I'm going to say, I don't know her. You see, ask me, do you know this person? I said, no, I don't know her. Okay. This is really nice. This is how you make your money. This is how you make your money. If you want to see all the tools in our labs, click on labs. We have a watermark remover tool. You see this? And you click on more free tools. It'll show you all of our tools. We have a timer. You see, look how cute this timer is. We're going to put a 5-minute timer. Click on timer. Five-minute timer. This timer will go off soon, and when it does, it's gonna play a special song. You play whatever songs you want. You can make a Suno song and play it about the ten-day challenge. You guys know what I mean?
Ten days, one circle, everybody checking in. Little words of encouragement, big change beginning. Yeah, I'm on everybody's comments, leaving love on the page. One good word can turn a regular day into a change. Some folks. Folks, hit 100 likes, 100 comments too. Look at all that care coming back around to you. Dozens in the circle, every story gets a place. 50+ showing up, bringing heart and bringing faith. We don't need to do it solo, we can build it side by side. Every check-in says I see you. Keep your purpose in your sight. 10-day challenge, come on, let's begin. Step by step, we're putting good days in. If you want your life to reach another level, come and do it together. Make a pact with your potential. 10 days.
You guys like that song? Wasn't that a cute song? I did a whole LinkedIn Live with that song playing. Um, but what I'm doing is I'm going through this Facebook challenge and I'm commenting on each person's post over here. And by the way, some of the people that have done the Facebook challenge have gotten hundreds of likes and comments and built real relationships with each other. So I'm up to, I'm up to date with my challenge. Um, but if you guys haven't joined the Facebook challenge yet, the 10-day Facebook challenge, it's not too late to join. And it's really easy. Heavy AI will write your posts and your comments and help you get organized. So highly recommend you guys jump into the challenge and you get involved because it's a great way to get started on LinkedIn, on Facebook. We have different challenges.

Somebody said, "Hey Joe, thanks. I just created an account. Thank you." Mindy says newsletter tools. Gonna find that tool. Awesome. Gary said more research tools. Jim says, learn how impressive Evvy AI is. I'm on premium. What I can't do with what you shared today. The AI research takes up a lot of resources. So that's a pro version of Evvy AI. So if you want to do AI research very, very quickly, like I'm going to do research on her and I click this thing. Again, researching somebody on 500 websites in 5 seconds, that takes up a lot of resources every time you click on it. And so that's something that's for pro members only. We do have a special deal for people who want the Bundle Plus. So just write bundle in the chat. If you're new here and you want more information about the Bundle Plus, just write bundle where we bundle in our $10,000 training program with our $1,000 a month community and our blah, blah, blah. We bundle it all in for a low annual fee where you get a 20x return on investment. Janina says, I have a great demo of how to stay more systematically organized. I also felt re-challenged with how to stay organized with my new capacity for follow-up. Yeah. And look, for me, it's about the to-dos, you know, like I know what I need to do today. So if you give yourself a list of 5 or 10 things that you need to do that are going to make you money, then focus on that. Make yourself a list of to-dos for this week and, and we'll help you be able to accomplish that. For those of you that want to learn more about the bundle, write bundle in the chat and I'll send you all the details. We actually have a list of the 5,000 fastest growing companies in America. And this list that's included in the bundle gives you the names of all the CEOs, how many followers they have, their phone number and email address. So if you're targeting these types of companies that are $10 to $100 million in revenue, you could just click and see exactly who they are and all the contact information and everyone that works at the company. So you click a button, it'll show you all the employees of each company as well. So if you guys don't have the Inc. 5000 list and you want the list, then just write bundle in the chat because that's included in the bundle. That's the idea. If you want to write posts with Evy AI, we do have a text creator right over here where you can write great text. So you click on text, you give it what you want to write about. So for example, If you want to find trends for things that are happening in your industry, we do have a trend finder for Bundle Plus members. So you see over here, there's a trend finder. So you click over here, fractional CFOs, and I press trends and it's going to go through Google Trends and try to find things related to fractional CFOs. It's going to show you all the things that are trending right now related to that term and how it was trending in the past 12 months. And you can see it kind of went up in October and then it kind of went down. Now it's kind of going back up and it shows you all the possible terms related to that. You see, if you scroll down, it'll show you, show you, show you. And then you can explain the trend with the agent.
You can create a 4-week content cycle.
You can plan your year. You can click on 20 post ideas. I click on 20 post ideas and then the agent gives you 20 post ideas instantly. You see that? It's just gonna keep doing it. Okay, so it's gonna gimme idea number 1. So I'm gonna click on this and then I can click on the Evie AI text image post creator and I press go and it's gonna write me an idea. What does a fractional CFO actually cost? That question sounds really simple. It's not. A fractional CFO will cost anywhere between $2,000 and $5,000 per month, depending on the business. But here's a better question. What is the cost of not having financial clarity? A fractional CFO can help you understand your true cash. Da da da da da da da da da da da. You see that? And then I can create an image right here. I can say add an image. I can upload my own image, or I can generate one based on the post. And I could even include my photo and my logo in that image because Evie AI now can be trained to have your photo and your logo inside your profile settings here. On the way bottom, you can add your photo and your logo. Have you guys added your photo and your logo yet to your account, to where it says profile on your account? So it's going to say settings, your profile, and then your company's profile. So make sure you go and set it up. How long will the Zoom recording be available? Well, the good news is, is that we're on LinkedIn Live right now, Paul. So if you go to joelinkedin.com, And you go to my profile and scroll down, you'll see that we're live. So you can click in here and you can like and comment on that post right now. Go ahead, like and comment on the post. I'm going to reply to your comments right now with Evie AI. You see that? Somebody says it's evi.ai.com. Somebody asked a question about APIs and MCPs. If you go into evi.ai and you scroll up to the setting, you go to integrations under settings. You see it says API and MCP access. Now you can connect evi.ai via MCP to Claude. Or ChatGPT or any other AI. In just a few seconds, you can, you can add it. So I highly recommend that you guys add your, uh, get your API access to Heavy AI and add it to your, to whatever AI you're using, whatever agent you're using. If you're into AI and you want an API. For your AI. Okay. Hopefully that made sense to you guys. That all makes sense. It looks like Paul M just said Joe's a rockstar. Thank you, Paul M. I appreciate that. I'm going to go here and I'm going to reply to Paul's profile here. You see? Thanks, Paul. Let's see what Alan is saying. Alan, one of my clients, is calling. So let me pick up. Hi, Alan. Hey, Joe. How you doing? Good. I'm doing fantastic. Awesome. Good to be here. So I have a referral for you. You have a referral for me? Oh, that's amazing. I love referrals. Don't we all, right? Yeah. But so I have a referral link, whatever, but it looks like it's just like here, enter your email address to claim the deal, you know, and he's not like— No, just do an email intro between the two of us and I'll know that you introduced him and we're good. Tuesday at one. Yeah, we're actually on a webinar right now, so you're live on a webinar. Nobody can hear you; they can hear me though. But but I picked up the phone because if Alan Leclerc calls or Janina calls or Gary calls or Arlene calls, I'm gonna pick up the phone. You know what I mean? Even if I'm middle of a webinar, you know what I mean? Um. Yeah, definitely send an email invite. And we're about to do our GrokBot masterclass now. So yeah, send an email invite, um, to eviai.com/webinar, or just connect us so that I know who it is. You can connect us via email. All right. Talk to you soon. Thank you. God bless you. All right. Bye. Bye. All right. So guys, this concludes our class. We're about to teach GrokBot to those that have joined the masterclass. So those of you that have purchased the masterclass, thank you. You can stay here. Everybody else, we're ending the session. So I have to actually end the session and restart it so that the recording of this is separate. But I just want to say thank you for all of you for coming here. Rayleigh and Misha and Morty and Arlene, I'm just going to end this and you come back to High Energy Zoom because I have to end it in order for the recording to finish on my computer. Okay, so I'm just going to restart it and you'll come back in 2 seconds.
