How Simplified Messaging Turned Amy Into a Client Magnet When it comes to attracting high-paying clients, it’s not about being good at what you do, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳. You could be the best in the world at your craft, but if your messaging doesn’t hit, your ideal clients won’t even know how you can help them. I’ve seen this happen time and time again, talented, capable entrepreneurs missing out on the right clients simply because their messaging doesn’t do them justice. Amy was a perfect example of this. She was an excellent coach, with the experience and skill set to back it up. But when it came to her messaging? Let’s just say it was scattered. Her potential clients didn’t really get what she was offering, let alone why they should invest in her services. Instead of drawing in the right crowd, she was met with hesitation, confusion, and ultimately, crickets. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘳-𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥. 🪶 We worked together to simplify her messaging, stripping away all the noise and honing in on clarity and consistency. 🪶 We narrowed her focus, made sure she communicated her value in a way that resonated, and aligned her messaging with the clients she wanted to attract. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘵? 360-𝘥𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Once her messaging was dialed in, Amy went from chasing clients to having them chase her. Her calendar filled up with people who not only understood her value but were willing to pay top dollar for it. And the best part is that these clients were aligned with her mission, her values, and her vision. If you’re finding that your messaging is scattered or unclear, you’re likely leaving money on the table. Let’s fix that. Send me a DM, and let’s talk about how we can simplify your messaging, position you as a must-have in your niche, and turn you into a client magnet.

Last month I turned down $12k of monthly revenue. Qualified clients. My ICP. But turned them down. Here's why ADJ Strategies is *not taking any more clients* until at least mid-Jan: I believe in being exceptional at one thing. Not good at many things. Not decent at several things. But truly exceptional at ONE thing. Right now that "one thing" is helping my current roster of Seed-Series B founders accelerate their GTM with authentic content. - No distractions. - No context switching.  - No new projects until Jan/Feb. I learned this lesson the hard way. Last year, I said yes to everything: - Every exciting opportunity - Every interesting project - Every qualified lead The result? Scattered focus. I knew I could do better. So I made a change. Now I go deep, not wide: - Smaller client roster - Deeper relationships  - Better results - Higher impact "But aren't you leaving money on the table?" Short term - yes. Long term - no. I am not building a business for the next 6 months. I am building a business for the next 50 years. And I believe the best way to do that is focus on delivering exceptional results for the founders who already trust me with their brands. That's why I'm not taking new clients right now. So yes, there's a waitlist (1-2 months). Yes, you can DM me to join it. Yes, it kills me to say no to amazing founders. But my priority right now? Making sure every single founder who trusts me gets 100% of my focus and expertise. Would rather be known as the guy who delivers exceptional results for a few than mediocre results for many. Sometimes the best way to grow is to slow down...

This is how I started getting qualified inbound leads on LinkedIn predictably: I added weekly offer posts to my content game since Q3 of last year. Before I started posting them, I’d get leads — But I had no idea when they’d come. With offer posts, I could trigger them. And I’d get 15-20 leads each month, But to convert them, I still had to nail down one thing: My Offers. Last year, I tried 20+ of them. Many didn’t convert. Some did. It wasn’t as easy as the purple book made us believe. There was much more to think about: - How I do build an offer so I can earn more while doing less? - How can I convince my ideal clients to pull out their credit cards for me without “nurturing” them for 6 months? - How do I craft offers that don’t just sound sexy but also make business sense to my clients? - How do I align my Offers to maximise customer lifetime value? - How can I do all of this as a one-man show without burning out? “The Offer Toolbox Model” covers all this. It’s a model I needed 2 years ago. You get: → The 5 elements of my Offer Toolbox Model that my clients and I use. → 5 reasons why the right offer is the most important element of your business. → The 5 offer killers you must avoid. → The 3 most common mistakes business owners make while building an offer. But I don’t stop there. I’ll review your offers and share feedback to make them better. All this for $97. Grab it here: https://lnkd.in/eRXTVGrH P.S.

Persistence pays off—not just in outreach but in results. Over the past 9 months, I’ve been working with one of my clients to scale her business and bring in high-ticket clients for her $30,000/year subscription program. Here’s what we accomplished together: Outreach Metrics: -Contacts Reached: 4,049 -Interested Leads: 158 -Meetings Booked: 28 -Deals Closed: 7 That’s $210,000 in revenue generated for her program from just 7 closed deals. And here’s the kicker: she’s investing just $600 per month in my services. Let’s break it down: 💼 Total Investment (9 months): $5,400 💰 Total Revenue Generated: $210,000 ROI: Over 3,800%! Why Does This Work? Because outreach is about consistency and strategy: -Following up with leads to spark real conversations. -Targeting the right audience with personalized messages. -Building a system that delivers results over time. If you’re wondering whether the cost of investing in outreach is worth it, the numbers speak for themselves. What would it mean for your business if just 7 new clients added six figures to your bottom line? But it’s not just about the numbers. This shows how powerful the right strategy can be when you invest in the right areas. With each new connection, each meeting booked, the business grows, and the ROI keeps stacking up. It’s not just a short-term gain—it’s about building a sustainable business model that can keep delivering long after the initial investment. It’s a real reminder that when you partner with the right people and put in the effort to build genuine connections, the returns can be massive. The key is being consistent and thoughtful about where you focus your energy. That’s where the history happens. If this sounds like something your business could benefit from, imagine the possibilities with a similar approach. Message me for strategy 💌 No filter.
