You don’t win on LinkedIn by “posting more.” The top 1% treat it like a multi-touch system: content that speaks to real problems, DMs that start real conversations, and short, specific emails that feel familiar—not cold. Together they warm, qualify, and convert in a tight loop while everyone else waits for the algorithm to be kind.

Here’s how the three pieces click, and why this outperforms every single-channel play.

Here’s what the top 1% are doing on LinkedIn

They’re running a multi-touchpoint strategy across: → Content → DMs → Cold email

Here’s how it works (and why it’s outperforming every other method):

  1. Content builds trust

But not the kind that gets likes from other accountants.

They post content that speaks directly to their ICP’s problems:

  • How-to book meetings in 7 days

  • How-to write content that brings you leads

  • OR anything specific to your audience only

That belief drives attention, not generic advice.

  1. DMs start conversations

The top 1% don’t sit around waiting for leads. They start conversations with warm ICPs who engage, view, or connect.

And they don’t sell in the first message.

Instead, they ask thoughtful, niche-specific questions:

“How are you growing your client base?” “Are you still managing lead-gen in-house?”

No pitch. Just relevance. That’s what opens the door.

  1. Email closes the loop

While content and DMs warm things up, cold email hits where LinkedIn doesn’t.

But it’s not the lazy kind. It’s not “Hey, we do lead-gen.” It’s short. Personalized. Specific.

And it follows the same belief-driven angle they use in their content.

So when a prospect sees the name in their inbox, it’s not cold, it’s familiar.

The magic is in how these three work together. Content builds attention. DMs spark context. Email brings it home.

If you're only doing one of the three, you're already behind.

Because while most founders are still waiting for growth season…

The top 1% are getting clients on demand. And they have more leads they can handle.
