We’ve all been there. You spend time crafting the perfect connection request, hit send, and then… silence. Or worse, you get an immediate, generic sales pitch back before even accepting.
See video above I created in under a minute using Operly.
After thirty years in internet marketing, I’ve seen every tactic in the book. But the truth is, the digital landscape has changed. People are busier and more skeptical than ever. If you’re still sending out automated, copy-paste connection requests, you aren’t just wasting your time—you’re likely hurting your brand.
So, how do we actually cut through the noise and get the attention of the people who matter? It’s time to move from “selling” to “connecting.” Here’s how I’m approaching it in my own work with blockchain and tax credits:
The “Pre-Connection” Strategy Before you send an invite, become a familiar face. Spend a few minutes each day finding key prospects and engaging with their content. Don’t just hit ‘like.’ Write a genuine, thoughtful comment on one of their posts. By the time they see your name in their connection requests, you’ve already started a conversation.
Ditch the Pitch The biggest mistake is trying to close the deal in the first sentence. Your connection request should be about them, not you. Mention something specific from their profile or a recent post. Show them that you’ve done your homework. A simple, “I really appreciated your take on [Topic X]—it challenged my thinking,” is worth a hundred generic templates.
Think Long-Term Marketing has always been about relationships. Whether you’re looking at tax credits for manufacturing or exploring new blockchain applications, networking is a marathon, not a sprint. Be consistent, be authentic, and provide value before you ever ask for a minute of their time.

The best way to get someone’s attention on LinkedIn is to stop trying to “get” it and start earning it.
What’s one strategy you’ve found that actually helps you build real relationships on LinkedIn? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
The Secret Weapon for High-Value Lead Generation: How Operly from R-Link Rally Supercharges My Outreach
Marketing to high-value industrial and manufacturing clients isn’t about casting a wide net; it’s about precision, timing, and showing up with actual value before you even have the first conversation. After 30 years in internet marketing, I’ve seen every tool under the sun, but I’ve recently unlocked a workflow using Operly that has turned my lead generation into a semi-autonomous engine.
Here is exactly how I’m using Operly to dominate the post-ERTC tax credit market for manufacturing and logging firms.
1. The “Warm Lead” Intelligence Engine
When I approach a business like D & J Plastics or Echo Logging, I don’t go in cold. I use Operly’s research tools to scrape their digital footprint and identify exactly which incentives they likely qualify for—whether it’s R&D Tax Credits for their manufacturing processes or Fuel Tax Credits for their heavy equipment.
Operly pulls the contact info, location details, and industry specialties into a centralized lead document, giving me a “cheat sheet” for every call.
2. Automated Follow-Up Workflows
The fortune is in the follow-up, but the labor is in the scheduling. I use Operly to batch-create outreach tasks with staggered deadlines.
The Workflow: I ask Operly to draft a sequence of tasks for my lead lists. It automatically sets reminders for Monday through Friday, ensuring I have a consistent volume of outreach without having to manually manage a calendar.
3. The “Deep Research” Edge
Before a big pitch, I use the “Deep Research” feature to find recent news about a specific company or industry sector. If a timber company just expanded their fleet, I know they need to hear about Section 179D energy deductions. This level of personalization used to take hours; now it takes a prompt.
4. Content Creation at Scale
This very blog post was drafted, refined, and organized into my marketing folder within Operly. By keeping my research, my task list, and my content in one “brain,” I spend less time toggling between apps and more time closing deals.
The Goal: Freedom
Why do I automate the grind? So I can spend more time doing what matters. Whether that’s spending time with the kids and Grandkids or finally taking that trip to Hawaii, Operly handles the heavy lifting so I can enjoy the results. And note I even had Operly create the following image for me.
Let’s be honest—Zoom and its clones were built for virtual meetings, not growth. They’re fine for team check-ins or school sessions, but clunky when it’s time to sell, present, or build serious momentum.
R-Link is different.
It’s not just a meeting platform—it’s a fully branded, browser-based experience built for influence, interaction, and intentional growth. Whether you’re presenting to a prospect, hosting a group call, or launching your next offer, R-Link was engineered for real outcomes—not just conversations.

I recently experienced the hand of God in my AI, R-Link and Blockchain Marketing.
The First of May I will be traveling to Dorado Beach Puerto Rico to meet with the very Top BlockChain Experts and Billionaires in the entire world. This will be held at the mansion once owned by Jeff Bezos founder of Amazon. Side note they also own the offices in Switzerland once owned by Yahoo.
It is simply by the Grace of God I will be attending as one of the top 100 Blockchain sales experts in all of this entire Blockchain development community in the world.
Note: For those interested in R-Link Rally Nodes contact me below as I have some awesome incentives for you currently for a very limited time.
How I saw this come together last week was led in my humble opinion by the hand of God as my initial plans would not have had the same results..
I’m bringing this to you for a couple reasons, first to give glory to God.
2nd because I sense God’s hand on this blockchain project and my life. And if God’s hand is indeed on this we could be in for some unimaginable blessings, which can be used to help others..
Because Blockchain is fair -it offers transparency so people aren’t taken advantage of. It protects people’s privacy so companies can’t steal your data. In fact with Blockchain you could make money off your own data if you were so inclined.
Here’s an additional attractive bit of info. We have the only AI platform tied to the Blockchain. Combining perhaps the largest economic trends today into one.
