My dad once told me, "You might as well go out in the backyard and burn the money." He was talking about gambling - but these days, I give the exact same advice to small business owners asking about LinkedIn Ads.On this episode of Nemo Radio, I'm revealing why some of the most "obvious" LinkedIn features are secretly draining your marketing budget - and the simple alternative that actually generates leads and closes deals.What's fascinating is that while LinkedIn keeps rolling out flashy new features, the real money-maker on the platform hasn't changed since 2012 ... and yet most business owners completely overlook it!What You'll Discover:

Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry faster than most people realize - and if you're not adapting your LinkedIn strategy to incorporate AI, you might be falling dangerously behind.On this episode of Nemo Radio, I'm revealing why AI might be the most significant technological revolution we've ever seen - bigger than TV, radio, the internet, cell phones, and social media combined.As someone who's lived through decades of tech evolution (from landline phones to self-driving cars), I'm sharing my unfiltered perspective on how AI is reshaping LinkedIn and what this means for your business.What You'll Discover:

On this episode of Nemo Radio, I'm sharing one of the biggest insights I've discovered from generating leads on LinkedIn since 2012 - one that's literally worth millions in revenue!What's fascinating is that while most business owners are obsessed with "quick wins" on LinkedIn (which absolutely do happen), they're completely missing the "long game" strategy that delivers the REAL payoff.In this episode, I'll share a recent example where a franchise consultant client of ours closed a five-figure deal with a prospect we'd been nurturing for TWO YEARS on LinkedIn.This isn't an isolated case, either - I've personally seen this pattern repeat countless times across industries.What You'll Discover:

On this episode of Nemo Radio, I'm sharing powerful sales psychology secrets that completely transformed my approach to handling objections - and help me scale to 7 figures in revenue as a result.After logging countless hours in the sales chair over the past decade, I've discovered that most objections aren't really about the surface-level reasons people give you.When a prospect says "I'll hire you once I make more money" or "I need to talk to my spouse first," there's almost always something deeper going on.During this episode, I'll reveal the specific psychological techniques I use to get past these initial "no" responses - without ever coming across as pushy or aggressive.I'll also share a (painful!) personal story about how I lost $45,000 USD on Facebook ads and what this taught me about handling objections around risk and guarantees.What You'll Discover:
