LinkedIn That Wins: How to Book Real Sales Meetings (and Close $10k–$100k Deals)

LinkedIn is brilliant if you use it right.

In this solo episode of The Weekly Sales Show with Joe, I break down exactly how we’ve closed $10k, $20k, $50k—even $100k+ deals from LinkedIn, and what’s changing as the platform shifts toward expert-led content in 2026.


If you’re a founder, CEO, or sales leader tired of posting and “getting sweet FA,” this will help you lose less and win more deals.
