Get Clients From LinkedIn DMs (Without Sounding Desperate) | With LinkedIn Coach Sara Royf

Your clients love you. And a stranger reads your LinkedIn and still can't tell what you actually do.The usual reason is the words. The longer you've been great at something, the more you describe it the way you think about it, and the further that drifts from how your buyers talk about their own problem.I sat down with Stacy Eleczko, the Positioning Psychologist, who studies why a buyer picks one expert over another. She brought two real client cases with the before-and-after copy, and the gap between what each business wrote and what its clients actually said is honestly a little painful to look at.In this episode we cover: Why the better you get at your job, the worse you explain it Why your testimonials describe someone who already bought Where your buyers' real words live (sales calls, DMs, and yes, Reddit) Before-and-after teardowns from a bookkeeping firm and a consultancy The client interview question that uncovers the buying trigger Why huge engagement can mean your positioning is too broad What to do with call recordings, and why Stacy keeps two foldersCONNECT WITH STACY💙 Website: https://stacyeleczko.com💙 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacyeleczko💙 Free Voice of Customer guide: https://stacy-eleczko.kit.com/d9b509c53cFIND ME ON SOCIAL💜 https://www.linkedin.com/in/christineorchard💜 https://x.com/xtineorchard💜 https://www.instagram.com/marketersdocoffeeAbout Marketers Do CoffeeHow LinkedIn actually works from the marketers who’ve figured it out.☕️ https://www.marketersdocoffee.comABOUT YOUR HOSTChristine Orchard is the founder and chief strategist of Orchard Strategy, a boutique content marketing agency that helps founders attract clients on LinkedIn without cold outreach or cringe.SHOW US LOVEPlease like, subscribe, and share the video.

She's run social for SaaS startups, audited dozens of brand channels, and now collaborates with B2B companies like HubSpot and Semrush.What makes Amy's approach different: she doesn't treat B2B social as “professional content.” She treats it as community building.

Stop treating your personal brand like a side project.

“Stale milk in a beautiful glass.”That’s how Vincent Pierri describes most infographics on LinkedIn.They look great. Nobody saves them. Nobody comes back to them. And reach stays flat.In this episode, Vince Pierri and I dig into why that happens — and what actually makes an infographic go viral. Vince breaks down his 4-part framework: pain point, actionable, less saturated, high density. If any one of those is missing, the post flatlines.But we also get into something most people skip: the text post. Because even a perfect infographic dies if the hook gives everything away in line one.Vince grew to 27K followers in 16 months posting only infographics. Before that, he spent nearly 20 years as a pastor — which is where he learned how to hold a room (and a feed). Now he coaches founders and consultants through VAP Coaching.In this episode, we break down:→ The 4-part framework behind every viral infographic→ Why copying a viral design still gets you zero traction→ The save rate threshold that separates decent from viral→ Why 0.4% can mean 5-10X the reach→ Why the visual is “stale milk in a beautiful glass”→ The #1 hook mistake that kills your text post→ Why your hook should NOT be a thesis statement→ Why Vince hides the real value 5-6 lines deep→ Why he says “it better be clickbait”→ How density drives savesIf you’re posting infographics and wondering why they look right but don’t perform, this one will help.CONNECT WITH US https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincent-angelo-coach/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/christineorchard https://x.com/xtineorchard Want more conversations like this?

If your content isn’t generating business for you, it’s probably not a content issue. It’s your offer and how clear your POV is.In this episode, Nick Bennett and I break down why so many solopreneurs and consultants get stuck at $20K-$50K/month, why custom services become the obstacle to your growth, and how standardizing your offer changes everything.But we also go deeper. Because even the best offer won’t land if you don’t truly own your point of view.Nick shares how he helps founders stop riding the referral rollercoaster and start building predictable pipeline, plus why strategy alone is useless without execution (and why you can’t outsource conviction).If you’re a consultant, coach, or service provider who feels like you’re doing “all the right content things” but revenue isn’t moving, this episode will help you diagnose the real issue.💌 Want more conversations like this?
