LinkedIn ads pro AJ Wilcox discusses LinkedIn ad strategies that can put the right offers from your business in front of the right audience—at the right time—and what to do before you even spend a dime on LinkedIn ads.

AJ Wilcox is a LinkedIn ads pro and founder of the LinkedIn ad agency B2Linked. He’s also managed 5 of the world’s top 10 LinkedIn ads accounts. 

Hosts Linda Claire Puig and Ari Iny explore with AJ the best time to start using Linked ads and how to put yourself in the best possible position for great results from them.   

In this episode, we discuss:

• One thing LinkedIn’s ad platform has that Facebook’s more sophisticated advertising algorithm can’t compete with (especially if your offer has a premium price tag)
• Why “cost per click” can be a misleading metric, and how LinkedIn advertising maximizes your “cost per closed deal” instead
• The crucial strategies to employ before spending on LinkedIn ads. 
• And much more!

“How do I grow the fastest? That’s going to be spending some time organically coming up with good content and lead magnets that people are going to want and then amplifying that message to exactly the right audiences, especially using LinkedIn ads.”
