will linkedin paid make you money?

three numbers, then your LTV : CAC, then our price. if the math works, you pick a time. if it does not, you keep the math and the free library, and we say so now rather than at week 6.

$12,000. 12 weeks. under half the plan at week 6, unused weeks back.

CR8 · the quarter
$12,000
fixed · 12 weeks · two stops, with refunds
$6,000
our fee if we stop at week 6
$10,000
B2Linked, committed over three months · 3-month contract · setup fee

the first 6 weeks are the real decision. by then you have put in about $10,000: $8,000 to us and about $2,000 in ads. if we are under half the plan, we stop and refund the 2 unused weeks.

$12,000 for the 12 weeks, in three invoices of $4,000. ads go on top: at least $4,000 across the 12 weeks, sized to your list, paid straight to LinkedIn from your own ad account, none of it before week 3. no performance fee. no share of your ad spend.

it carries on, 12 weeks at a time, at the same fee. either of us stops it with one email by day 70, two weeks before the quarter ends. on day 49 you get one page: the numbers so far, the bad ones too, what is new next quarter, the ad spend, and the stop date. if our page is late, the next quarter does not start. the fee stays the same for your first 4 quarters.

four gates. fail one and we say no.

we only take clients where all four of these are true. we publish the four lines that make us say no, before you pay anything.

  1. 01

    a new client is worth $10K+ over its life.

  2. 02

    your buyers are on linkedin, and reachable.

  3. 03

    at least $4,000 of ad spend across the 12 weeks, sized to your list, on your own account.

  4. 04

    a real sales process: a named person on your side who works the leads and answers anyone who puts a hand up the same day.

fail one and you hear it on the first call. you keep the map and the math. we don't take your money.

before kickoff, three things in writing: the person on your side who works the hand-raises, one proof asset they can send a warm lead, and what a lead is, in your words. then we write the plan with you: how many engaged companies by week 6, and what bad, workable and good look like by week 12. the quarter is judged on that page, not on clicks.

what we stand behind.

warm decision-makers. people who fit your buyer profile, who engaged with you, in your CRM the same day with a reason to write to them. your sales team takes it from there. we do not promise closed deals in the first quarter. your sales cycle runs in months.

what you keep, whatever happens.

the company list, with the public clue on every row. the matched audiences and the ads, on your own ad account. the records of everyone who engaged. the machine doc: one page on how the whole thing runs. all of it is yours from day one, and stays yours after any stop.

what the 12 weeks look like.

  1. 1
    week 1

    a profile of who actually buys, and your list: 500 to 1,000 companies in one segment, each with the public clue that put it there. plus the scorecard in your words, and the machine doc started.

  2. 2
    week 2

    the size check, and your first way out. we count how many of your companies LinkedIn can find. under the number we agreed, we widen once. still under, we stop: you keep the list, weeks 3 and 4 are refunded, and you have paid $2,000.

    linkedin ads logolinkedin ads
  3. 3
    week 3

    ads live, on your own account, at that list only, with a willing human face, not a logo. the same week, we message the accounts ranked first on your list from your own LinkedIn: a connection request with no note, then one message that names the clue that put them there. your own outreach to them pauses, so nobody hears from you twice. if we launch late, each late week is added free, up to 2.

  4. 3 to 12
    weeks 3 to 12

    whoever puts a hand up goes to the named person on your side, the same day, with the reason to write to them. for every engaged person we draft the follow-up, and your person sends it. every Monday, the number in writing, even when it is zero.

  5. 6
    week 6

    the list is refreshed, and your second way out. if the engaged companies on your list are under half the plan, either of us can stop. nothing further is invoiced, weeks 7 and 8 are refunded, and you have paid $6,000.

  6. 49
    day 49

    one page on the next quarter: the numbers so far, the bad ones too, what is new, the ad spend, and the stop date. the stop date is in your Monday reports from week 8 to week 10.

  7. 12
    week 12

    a write up you keep, and the machine doc updated. on the call we plan the next quarter with you. we do not decide it there. each new quarter brings a rebuilt list, retrained on what your sales team took, a new round of ads, and one new thing, named on the day-49 page.

    notion logonotion

week one here is a buyer profile and a hot list. an agency's week one is a kickoff deck.

your job: a 90-minute workshop, about an hour of setup in week one, your LinkedIn connected for the messages, then about an hour a week. your sales person answers the people who put a hand up and sends the follow-ups we draft. we do the rest.

questions founders actually ask.

because it is drawn from what is already public about you, before you pay anything. it is how we prove we can see your market before asking for a dollar. we build it, or you take it and use it yourself.
