The best B2B deals I've closed all came from the same place. Not cold email. Not ads. Not referrals. LinkedIn. And not in the way most people think. I didn't spam DMs. I didn't "engage" on 50 posts a day hoping someone would notice me. I built a system around one idea: If the right people see you consistently saying the right things, deals come to you. Here's what I mean. Most founders treat LinkedIn like a to-do list. Write a post. Hope it lands. Send some DMs. Repeat tomorrow. That's exhausting and it barely works. What actually works is building a machine behind your presence. Content that runs on a schedule without you writing every word. Comment monitoring that catches when someone raises their hand. Follow-up sequences that don't depend on you remembering. I set this up for myself first. Took about 90 days to see it compound. By month 3, inbound messages started showing up from people I never reached out to. They'd been watching my posts for weeks. The deals that came through were bigger than anything I'd closed from cold outreach. Because by the time they reached out, they already trusted me. LinkedIn is not a content platform. It's a trust-building machine that happens to look like a content platform. If you're selling B2B and you're not running a real system on LinkedIn, you're leaving the easiest money on the table. This is my experience. Curious if anyone else is seeing the same thing.

One thing I realized about AI automation: Most people overcomplicate it. The system I’m using isn’t complex it’s structured. It’s really just: 1. Identify leverage 2. Automate fulfillment 3. Build repeatability The consistency comes from structure, not hacks. Anyone else noticing that simplicity > complexity in this space?

Just joined the community excited to be here 🙌 I’ve been deep in AI automation the past few months and it completely shifted how I think about income generation. I learned a system from someone inside Skool, implemented it step-by-step, and the consistency surprised me more than the size of the results. Not here to sell anything — just here to learn, share, and connect with people actually building. Curious — what automation are you guys currently testing or scaling?

Excited to share that I sold my first automation after working with a client for over 2 months with refining requirements, design, and my learning/troubleshooting n8n and Google Apps Script on the fly. The solution was focused on automating the intake process that includes populating CRM, Google Drive file/folder manipulation, Google Apps Script, Supabase, AI Agent, and and Gmail. This was my first use case and will be leveraging my client's referrals for a few more use cases in the coming months. Thanks for all the knowledge @Nate Herk @Nate Herk !
