• Shows you how to validate your ICP using customer data, NPS scores, and win/loss patterns
• Helps you segment and score target accounts based on behavioral signals and firmographic data
• Provides frameworks for saying no to the wrong customers and maintaining positioning clarity
• Teaches you how to align sales, marketing, and product teams around one target customer

LinkedIn Marketing Skills

• Drafts LinkedIn posts, comments, and replies tuned to what performs on the platform today
• Reviews drafts and removes AI-sounding words and patterns before you publish
• Plans a week of content and adapts tweets, videos, or blog posts into native LinkedIn posts
• Pulls hook formulas from viral posts and audits or rewrites your LinkedIn profile
• Interviews you to build a bank of real stories your posts can draw on
