In this episode of Poised for Exit, we're joined by Colin Hirdman, entrepreneur, strategist, and co-founder of Rainmaker, to explore the untapped potential of LinkedIn as a true growth engine for business.
Colin shares his entrepreneurial journey, from launching his first company just weeks after college to co-founding Monkey Island Ventures and helping business leaders build targeted lead-generation systems using LinkedIn.
We dive into how Colin and his team help founders, advisors, and sales professionals stop wasting time on surface-level posting and start using tools like Sales Navigator, live streams, and LinkedIn events to activate first-degree connections and drive meaningful results.
Colin breaks down practical strategies for identifying ideal client profiles, building authentic relationships at scale, and using LinkedIn in a way that feels human, not spammy.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, advisor, or sales leader, this episode offers immediately actionable insights for turning your LinkedIn network into real sales opportunities without relying on likes, comments, or canned messages.
If you’re looking to level up your LinkedIn strategy, this conversation is a must-listen.
