Do you ever feel like you’ve tried every trick in the book to get more clients? You’ve posted on Instagram, sent out emails, spoken at events, entered awards, joined bundles, and even guested on podcasts—yet it still feels hit or miss. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re diving into why so many lead generation strategies feel like a slog, and what actually works for creative business owners.

Why Most Strategies Fall Flat

Let’s be honest: if you’ve done all the things and you’re still not getting consistent leads, it’s not you—it’s the strategy (or more likely, the lack of one). Here’s what I see all the time: you post on Instagram and hope for the best, speak at an event and wait for leads, or send newsletters to the same 200 people without a clear call to action. Maybe you show up on LinkedIn with no real plan, just vibes—and even then, not consistently.

The missing ingredient? Intentionality. Most strategies simply aren’t intentionally reaching the right people. You might be showing up, but often to the same audience, the same followers, the same email list. What actually works is getting in front of new people—regularly—who are already a good fit for what you offer, and starting a conversation that isn’t pushy or needy.

The System That Actually Works

Here’s why the system inside LinkedIn Lead Liftoff works when everything else hasn’t:

1. You Handpick Who Sees Your Message
This isn’t “spray and pray.” You’re not relying on the algorithm. Instead, you decide exactly who you want to work with, build a list of those people, and ensure they’re a good fit. Quality control is in your hands.

2. You Offer Value Upfront
When you reach out, you’re not just saying “hire me” or “let’s get on a call.” You’re offering something genuinely useful—a lead magnet, a training, a resource, or an invite that helps them for free. You explain why you’re reaching out and share that others in their space have found it valuable. This builds trust from the very first message.

3. It’s Automated, But Personal
You’re not manually doing this every day. The system runs in the background, so you don’t need to block out hours or rely on being in the right mood. It keeps going, even when you’re busy.

4. It Keeps Working When You’re Not Online
No more feeling like you have to perform online every week to stay relevant. The system works while you’re working, parenting, travelling, or even taking a nap. It’s sustainable and doesn’t depend on your willpower.

Why Sustainability Matters

Most marketing activities aren’t inherently bad—posting content, speaking, and sending newsletters are all great. But none of them guarantee new eyes on your business every week. And right now, with budgets tightening, it’s more important than ever to reach new people, not just the ones who already know and love you.

Unless you’re a content machine or have a team, trying to make those activities do the job of a lead engine will burn you out. This approach works because it’s sustainable. You’re not stuck in a content hamster wheel, tied to expensive ads, or dependent on an agency. You have a system that grows with your audience, builds trust, and feeds your pipeline—no matter what’s happening in your life.
