Stop Playing the Numbers Game: Build a Powerful LinkedIn Network That Converts

If you’ve ever Googled “how to get clients on LinkedIn,” you’ve probably seen advice like this:

“Say yes to every LinkedIn event invite.”
“Comment on 20 posts a day to beat the algorithm.”
“Join 3 engagement pods to boost your reach.”

Let’s just pause for a second.

You didn’t become a coach or service provider to become a robot. You’re not here to play the LinkedIn lottery, hoping that if you just message enough people, someone will finally bite.

I’ve tried that approach—and it doesn’t feel good. It didn’t lead to meaningful relationships. And it certainly didn’t result in the kind of aligned, high-value clients I wanted to work with.

What worked? Building connections with intention.

In Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence, I teach you how to:

  • Find people who are genuinely aligned with what you offer

  • Start conversations that don’t feel pushy or awkward

  • Create a connection strategy that works because it’s built on trust

You don’t need hundreds of new connections. You need the right ones—the people who get what you do, need what you offer, and are ready to say yes.

Why the numbers game doesn't work

The problem with the numbers game is that it’s impersonal. You’re chasing volume instead of value.

When I first started reaching out on LinkedIn, I followed the advice: connect, pitch, invite. I burned out quickly. People ignored me. And I felt like a fraud.

It wasn’t until I shifted gears and focused on connection over conversion that things changed.

I:

  • Slowed down

  • Reached out with a genuine interest

  • Focused on what the other person needed

And guess what? People responded. Conversations happened. Clients came my way.

Your network is already more valuable than you think

One of the most surprising things I discovered?

Some of my best opportunities came from people already in my network. Old colleagues. Past clients. People who already knew and trusted me.

But I had to reintroduce myself. I had to show up with clarity and confidence. I had to update my profile and start sharing content that reflected where I was now.

Inside Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create content that makes you visible and credible

  • Show up in your messages with warmth, not worry

  • Use tools like Trello to stay consistent without burning out

Think of LinkedIn like a networking event (not a cold call list)

Would you walk into a real-life event and pitch the first person you met?

Of course not.

You’d smile, introduce yourself, ask questions, and build a rapport.

That’s how LinkedIn works too—when you do it right. You connect. You engage. You follow up. And yes, you invite someone to work with you when the time is right.

That’s exactly what I show you how to do in the course.

You’re not alone in this

When you enroll in Build Connections on LinkedIn with Confidence,

To give you even more support and encouragement as you go, you’ll be able to ask the questions that you need answered below the course and also in my private Facebook support group. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, celebrate wins, and get guidance directly from me and your peers.

It’s not about hustle. It’s about heart. And consistency. And showing up as yourself.


Final thought:

You don’t need to fake it on LinkedIn. You don’t need to follow shady scripts. You don’t need 1,000 connections.

You just need the right approach, a clear message, and a willingness to connect.
