Beyond Referrals: LinkedIn Engine | 8-Week Implementation Cohort | Jameela Ghann, CM

Beyond Referrals · LinkedIn Engine

Turn LinkedIn interest into qualified booked calls in 8 weeks.

An implementation cohort for professional services teams that want predictable growth without hiring a full-time marketer. Your team builds the system with me, week by week, and keeps it when we're done.

Cohort spots are limited so implementation support stays high. Apply here. If it's a fit, you'll be invited to book a call.

If it's a fit, you'll be invited to book a call. If it isn't, I'll tell you and point you somewhere more useful.

The problem

Referrals are great, until they're not.

They aren't predictable, you can't control them, and they don't scale on command. Most service firms try to “do LinkedIn” to fix that, and end up with:

  • Inconsistent posting and random content
  • Vague offers that attract the wrong people
  • Conversations that never turn into booked calls
  • No clear follow-up process
  • No visibility into what's working

If LinkedIn is going to become a real channel, it needs a system behind it.

What this builds

In 8 weeks, your team installs a LinkedIn-to-booked-call system.

  1. 01
    Clear positioning and offer angles, so you stop sounding like everyone else.
  2. 02
    A simple conversion path, from landing page to application.
  3. 03
    An application process, that filters for fit, then routes qualified people to book.
  4. 04
    A LinkedIn content system, designed to create qualified interest.
  5. 05
    Lead handling and follow-up workflows, that increase booked calls.
  6. 06
    Website tracking and a weekly dashboard, tied to booked calls.
  7. 07
    A LinkedIn ads setup playbook, so your team can launch and manage campaigns with confidence.
  8. 08
    A repeatable process, to extend the same system into other channels later.

Fit

Who this is for, and who it isn't.

Typical industries: legal, clinics, coaching, consulting, professional services, and boutique agencies.

This is for you if you

  • Sell high-value services where trust matters
  • Want to generate leads beyond referrals
  • Have someone on the team who can implement (marketing coordinator, comms, admin, or intake)
  • Can commit 2 to 4 hours a week for 8 weeks
  • Want booked calls, not vanity metrics

Please don't apply if

  • You want someone to run your marketing for you
  • You can't update your website
  • The owner won't sponsor decisions, so implementation stalls

This program works when the implementer has access and leadership supports the process.

The 8-week build

What you'll do each week.

Week 1

Offer spine and qualification flow

Define your positioning, offer angles, and the rules for who gets invited to book a call.

Week 2

Landing page and application-first funnel

Build the page and copy that turn interest into applications, plus a booked-call page that reduces no-shows.

Week 3

LinkedIn organic system

Install a weekly cadence and post templates that drive action, not thought leadership for its own sake.

Week 4

Website tracking and dashboard

Set up UTMs, define conversions, and create a weekly scorecard tied to booked calls.

Week 5

Lead handling, no CRM required

Build a simple pipeline and ownership rules so no lead disappears and follow-up is consistent.

Week 6

Follow-up sequences that increase booked calls

Install confirmations, reminders, and “didn't book yet” follow-up so interest actually turns into meetings.

Week 7

LinkedIn ads training and setup

Learn to set up and run LinkedIn ads that support this funnel. You build the campaigns, and I review them before launch.

Week 8

Repeat across channels

Create a plan to reuse the same message and offer across email, blog, and other platforms without multiplying the work.

What's included

The cohort is capped so you get real support.

Weekly 90-minute live build

Implementation-focused sessions. You leave each one with the week's piece built or nearly built.

Weekly office hours

A standing time to get unstuck on blockers between sessions.

Templates, scripts, and checklists

Examples for every step, so nobody starts from a blank page.

Structured feedback

Submit your work and get specific notes, so you always know what to fix next.

Owner kickoff (week 1)

30 minutes with the owner to lock in the offer, the goals, and decision rights.

Owner final review (week 8)

30 minutes to review the system, the numbers, and what to run next.

Requirements

What you need before you join.

Jameela Ghann

Led by Jameela Ghann, CM. Chartered Marketer and B2B marketing lead. I run every live build session and review every submission myself.

  • A website you can update, or a developer who can make changes within 48 hours
  • Access to the LinkedIn page and posting accounts
  • The ability to create or access a LinkedIn ads account
  • Willingness to use a simple lead pipeline (a CRM is optional)
  • An owner sponsor who will show up for the kickoff and the final review

If you don't have these in place, you won't get the outcome. Sort them out first, then apply.

Questions

Still not sure? Start here.

Is this for the owner or the team member?

Both, in different roles. A team member (a marketing coordinator, comms lead, admin, or intake person) does the weekly implementation. The owner acts as sponsor: they join a 30-minute kickoff in week 1 and a 30-minute final review in week 8, and they make the decisions the implementer can't make alone.

Do we need a CRM?

No. Week 5 sets up a simple lead pipeline with clear ownership rules, and it can live in a spreadsheet. If you already have a CRM, we build it there instead.

Will you run our LinkedIn ads?

No. In week 7 your team learns to set up and run LinkedIn ads that support this funnel. Your team builds the campaigns, and I review them before launch. If you'd rather hand ads off entirely, that's a separate engagement.

How much time does this take?

Plan for 2 to 4 hours a week for 8 weeks from the implementer, including the weekly 90-minute live build session. The owner's time is two 30-minute touchpoints plus quick decisions along the way.

What if we already post on LinkedIn?

Good. You'll move faster. Most teams that post consistently are still missing the parts that turn attention into calls: a clear offer, an application path, follow-up, and tracking. That's what this program installs.

What if our industry is “boring”?

Buyers in so-called boring industries still have problems, questions, and deadlines. Content that answers those plainly is what earns calls. Clear and specific beats clever.
