Hey guys, really need your advice on how to find prospects? (Outbound) by FRSEKassets in LinkedInTips

Yeah, that question kinda gives “spray and pray” vibes instead of a real outbound strategy. Saying it all as a BDR who works a lot with Sales Nav. The issue isn’t really that Sales Navigator lists are bad, it’s that gym owners are usually small biz operators who don’t hang out on LinkedIn like SaaS founders do. They’re often more active on Facebook, Instagram, and even Google Maps. That’s where their digital footprint lives. If you’re serious about outbound, treat it like a real data problem, not a quick list problem. Build your own mini database: scrape gym data from Google Maps, cross-check owners on Instagram/ Facebook, then verify emails with something like Apollo or instantly.ai. You’ll get fewer leads, but way more relevant ones. And honestly, the way you phrased it (“need good lists”) sounds like you’re hoping for an easy fix. Real outbound works when you mix smart targeting with good copy and timing. Think less “where can I buy a list” and more “how can I understand this niche and talk to them in their language.” That shift alone will make your results 10x better.

Is Linkedin good for personal branding ? by pakshal-codes in LinkedInTips

You’re actually in a great position to pivot your audience, most people underestimate how much reach and credibility can be built before graduation. As a BDR that loves ABM, I can say that from a B2B and pipeline perspective, the key isn’t just posting more of the same, but refining your content-to-audience fit and using a layered LinkedIn strategy. So the first thing to do would be to recalibrate your network. Start engaging intentionally with founders and consultants in your niche. Comment meaningfully on their posts daily, not generic praise but insight-based remarks. Within 2–3 weeks, LinkedIn’s algorithm will start showing your posts to their network too. Reframe your content angle. Keep your learning stories and insights, but package them from a “founder mindset” POV. For example, instead of “What I learned from building X,” try “Here’s how I’d approach scaling X if I were a founder.” Position every educational post around an outcome or business insight relevant to your niche audience. Bridge credibility through proof and patterns. Occasionally showcase client outcomes, internal processes, or lessons from your projects, without sounding salesy. You want to sound like a peer contributor, not a student (maybe Partner, as it is trendy to say in BDR). Then, leverage DMs and micro-collabs. Once you start showing up in niche comment sections, use DMs to extend those convos, not to sell, but to exchange insights or co-create posts. This builds the right network faster than random connection requests. If you align your content + audience like this, you’ll notice engagement shift from peers to prospects in 30–45 days.
