Leads, Not Likes: The 3 Keys to a Nailed-on LinkedIn Strategy
Looking back a year ago, were you dreaming of randomly posting sh*t on LinkedIn, sending countless outbound emails and DMs, getting polite “no thanks” responses (if any), and engaging in endless comment threads with people who would never, ever hire you—all while wondering: “Why am I not getting anywhere?”
And by “anywhere,” I don’t mean going viral or hitting 100k followers. I mean building the kind of business you envisioned when you first started—clients who come to you, month after month, because they trust you to solve their biggest challenges.
Maybe you think, “If I just got another 1,000 followers, then things will change.” Maybe you’ve tried giving away your best insights for free, hoping the LinkedIn algorithm gods will bless you with inbound leads. But the bank account? Not feeling it.
Or maybe you’ve bought into the lie: “If I post, they will come.”
I hate to break it to you—it’s a waste of time.
At least, not until you change your approach radically.
In this coffee session, we’re diving into the 3 keys to a LinkedIn strategy that brings leads, not just likes. No fluff, no overcomplicated “content plans,” just a simple process that gets real clients reaching out to you. You’ll leave with one key action step you can take today to stop chasing engagement and start closing deals.
Presenter:
Sam knows what it’s like to feel stuck. For years, he did what he thought everyone wanted him to do. But discovering the world of continuous improvement ten years ago changed everything—personally and professionally.
What made the difference wasn’t just Lean principles—it was adopting the mindset of scientific thinking. The Toyota Kata practice, rooted in experimentation and deliberate steps forward, helped Sam move from operating out of fear and hesitation to taking confident, consistent action. That same approach helped him leave his corporate job as an operations analyst and launch his own coaching business almost 3 years ago.
And it’s at the heart of the why, the what and the how of everything he does with his clients. Today, Sam helps lean consultants escape the feast-and-famine cycle that so many struggle with. Through his Scaled Lean Consultant Lab, he equips them to land consistent five-figure contracts, solve meaningful client problems, and build a business that works on their terms. Because getting unstuck isn’t just about tools—it’s about transformation. And that’s the mark Sam is here to help others make
