Founder Brand Consulting: From false prospects to high ticket closed, inbound (Zac)

From getting "false prospects" to closing high tickets with a consistent lead flow.
here's how reposition this Founder’s content strategy.
Before working with us
Zac came to us after a year of doing content himself on LinkedIn but without much success. He mostly posted 7 times a week:
But he’d:
-
Fill the calendar with random content topic
-
Struggle to scale his inbound lead flow
-
Wrongly positioned his services
-
Get all crickets, sadly
In our discovery
-
Zac said 75% of leads are ‘false prospects’.
-
Those are prospects that either have no demand for his service, not willing to pay or not ready to commit.
-
They came asking for freebie, free advice and small talk only 🤐
After our live audit, we proposed “Founder-Led Social Selling” service for Zac. 5 days later, we signed and started working.
Here’s what we did in his first month:
1. Repositioning:
-
Reframing his service promise & actual problems he solves
-
Fixing brand positioning and value pitching statements
-
Updating LinkedIn profile to reflect his positioning
2. Active Mining:
-
Building a list of in market prospects and weekly adding 150 of them to the list
-
Automating connection request and engagement with them (safely)
-
Monitoring their activity and pin point leads with high intent (through profile visit, content interaction) for follow ups
3. Content mapping:
-
Collecting “sweet zone” content assets (testimonials, unwritten case studies)
-
Identifying the villain in his niche and fears, limiting beliefs and misconceptions his clients have
-
Building content pillars and calendars based on these insights
-
Getting Zac on regular weekly calls, interviewing him on our question logs, producing content in videos and text posts for him
4. Story Selling:
-
Building a story bank for resonance, connection and authority
-
Reframing personal anecdotes to education, transformation story
-
Automating content and story selling with an AI-supported workflow
After 4 weeks together:
-
75% inbound leads = sales-qualified
-
Content roadmap = done and dusted
-
First high ticket won + multiple proposals sent
-
$15K added to his quarter sales, that’s a realized ROI of 600% on the first month’s investment of $2500.
As Zac got a hold of what “content to convert” look like, we are ready to scale our effort.
Our next steps: dominate the conversation in the DMs and automate it.
Zac enjoyed this success because he changed his approach and started:
Content from service, not surface.
