the signal loop, in three steps.

step 01
truth

we look at your closed deals and 10 to 15 of your real sales calls. who actually buys, not who you think buys.

step 02
signal

we build a list from live buying signals we can scrape weekly, run ads with your face on them to it, and watch who engages.

step 03
convert

the moment someone engages, fills a form, or replies, they hit a trigger queue and get a warm DM the same day. warmest human first.

closed-won re-seeds the list. the loop closes. if the loop doesn't close, it's just a campaign.

$8,000. eight weeks. one price.

b2linked, before anything runs
$10,000
3-month contract · retainer + setup

$8,000 fixed for the eight weeks. stop date built in. media is separate, on your own account.

the four gates are the guarantee.

we only take clients where all four of these are true. every agency in this market says yes and takes the retainer. we publish the four lines that make us say no.

  1. 01a new client is worth $10K+ up front and $20K+ over its life.
  2. 02your winnable market is at least 10,000 companies.
  3. 03you can put at least $2K a month into media, on your own account.
  4. 04you'll be the face, and someone answers a hand-raise in 5 minutes.

fail one and you hear it on the 30-minute call. you keep the math we ran. we don't take your money.

or: what the other options cost.

what the eight weeks look like.

week 1

a profile of who actually buys + your hot list. built from your closed deals and 10 to 15 of your own sales calls.

week 2

ads live. your face, not a logo.

week 3

real conversations.

weeks 4 to 6

booked meetings on your calendar.

week 8

a readout you keep, whether or not you keep us.

nobody else in this market gives you anything real in week one. they give you a kickoff deck.

questions founders actually ask.

b2linked charges $2,000 for theirs. ours takes 30 minutes because a VA + claude do the pulling and i do the reading. it's how we prove we can see your account before you pay anything.

the audit is the entire sales process. 30 minutes. no pitch attached.

09

book the 5-leak audit.

30 minutes. we run five named checks on your live LinkedIn ad account (bid strategy, audience expansion, form friction, insight tag + retargeting, and your offer) each against a real benchmark with a one-line verdict. no pitch attached.

this is the audit other agencies charge $2,000 for (b2linked's price, public). ours is free, takes 30 minutes, and every line has your account's name on it.

your job: 3 hours in week one, then 30 minutes a week. that's it.

if the math says no, we tell you no.
