They walk through the exact process of turning public LinkedIn activity into a pipeline of warm prospects. Key topics discussed in this episode: Post engagement is a reliable signal for finding real, active LinkedIn users who are already paying attention. High-engagement posts from competitors and influencers give you a pre-qualified list of people already interested in your topic. Referencing a shared conference or event in your connection request creates natural context that dramatically boosts acceptance rates. Keep the first message simple and focused on starting a conversation rather than pitching; your only goal is just to get a reply. After scraping post engagements, enrich the data to filter by ICP criteria and exclude competitors before reaching out. At ~25 requests per day, you can land roughly 100 new connections per week at a 70%+ acceptance rate without triggering LinkedIn throttling. The real focus should be converting the connections you're already getting into calls or outcomes, not just sending more requests. The window to capitalize on this strategy is open now — Jack and Jeremy both emphasize that tactics like this don't stay this effective forever, so the best time to test it is today.
