- Your Best Leads Are Expiring While You Sleep (and the $150k mistake that won't save you)
Your Best Leads Are Expiring While You Sleep (and the $150k mistake that won't save you)

What's up, it's Zayd.
Someone viewed your profile yesterday. They checked out your company page. Liked your post. Maybe even followed you.
They were interested. They were in buying mode. They were warm.
And you had no idea.
By the time you noticed- if you noticed at all; that moment was gone.
They moved on. Talked to your competitor. Forgot why they were curious in the first place.
This happens dozens of times a week. Hundreds of times a month.
Your content is working. Your brand is working. But you have no system to capture that interest and convert it into conversations.
So your warmest leads become someone else's closed deals.

The All-Or-Nothing Problem
Here's what most people do when they figure this out:
They hire a $150k GTM engineer to build it themselves.
Spend months cobbling together PhantomBuster → Clay → ChatGPT → HeyReach → Zapier → CRM. Drop $1,500/month on tool costs. Invest 4+ hours weekly just moving data between platforms.
And here's the kicker: they commit all this before knowing if signal-based outreach even works for their business.
It's all-or-nothing.
You either go full engineering build, or you do nothing. There's no middle ground to test whether your LinkedIn signals actually convert into pipeline.
That's insane.
The Numbers Everyone Ignores
If you're posting consistently on LinkedIn, you're getting 2,000+ profile views every single week.
Not likes. Not comments. Just views.
These are people who saw your content, got curious, and clicked through to see what you do. They never engaged publicly. They never filled out a form. But they showed up.
These are your warmest leads.
And right now, you're letting all of them expire.
Cold vs. Warm: The Reply Rate Math
Cold outbound = messaging strangers who've never heard of you.
Reply rates: 1-3%
Warm outbound = messaging people who've already shown interest.
Reply rates: 15-47%
Same effort. Same channel. Completely different results.
The difference isn't your copy. It's your timing.
When someone just viewed your profile, they're curious about you right now. Not next week. Not when your drip sequence fires. Right now.
That's the moment to reach out.
