About this episode

Most leads go nowhere because they were never real conversations. Andy explains why chasing leads is the wrong goal on LinkedIn, and what his clients ask for instead once they're generating conversations with people who actually want to buy from them.This episode covers Andy's growing 'almanac' of real-world LinkedIn wins: finding a Spanish lawyer through a referral search, landing a nephew's Hong Kong internship, and selling a family clinic, all through LinkedIn's network effect.Andy also breaks down why generating conversations matters more than generating leads, how to use the pain and pleasure principle to spot your true ideal client, and why 'AI slop' is flooding LinkedIn feeds (and how better prompting fixes it).Plus podcast growth numbers worth stealing for your own marketing (now ranked in the top five percent globally, with session listening pushing average consumption past one full episode), and the simple connection habit that's grown Andy's second-tier network by nearly 30,000 people.Let's Chat!Andy's LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/andygwynn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠3degrees Social: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/3degrees-social⁠
