How to create a dashboard in Excel for LinkedIn data

Inside most companies, information doesn’t live in one place. 💀 Some of it sits in Slack. Some in email. Some buried in docs. And the rest? Only in people’s heads. So when you actually need an answer, you end up bouncing between 5 different tools just to piece it all together. That’s also where most RAG systems fall apart. They can fetch text but they don’t really understand the context of what you’re asking. We’ve been building something that goes further. Not just pulling “similar snippets” from different sources… But understanding the flow, keeping track of context, and giving you answers you can actually trust even when the data is scattered and messy. Because here’s the thing: when you’re pulling from 50+ sources, accuracy isn’t optional. One wrong pull doesn’t just give you a bad answer. It can mislead entire teams. The challenge for us was never about creating “just another agent.” It was about making something reliable enough that people can actually use it in their daily work without second-guessing every single answer. That’s where the real value is.

Here's why your warmup isn't working: You're sending 50 cold emails a day with only 20 warmups running in the background. That's a 1:2.5 ratio. Which means the negative signals from cold email (bounces, no replies, deletes) are louder than the positive signals from warmup. Google & Microsoft notice. The math that actually works: 2 warmups : 1 cold email Example: 22 cold emails/day 44 warmup emails/day The warmup volume buries the inevitable negative signals under a heavier load of positive interactions. The inbox provider sees: Opens Replies Back-and-forth conversations The cold emails that bomb? Just noise in the overall data. This is ScaledMail's internal benchmark. We don't send cold email without at least 2x warmup coverage. Because hoping your deliverability holds isn't a strategy. What ratio are you running?

The Ultimate Outbounding Cheat Sheet. (the only framework you need to hit quota) Most reps lose hours jumping between tools: - One for data - One for phone numbers - One for email sequences - One for warmup - One for intent And still, bounced emails, missed calls, and a half-empty pipeline. Here’s the cheat code: Stop stitching tools together. It's 2025, you can now run everything in one platform instead. What you can get now: -> 42% more leads found -> 2× verified contacts -> $10K saved per seat This pulls from 50+ email and 20+ phone providers, enriches data in real-time, warms inboxes, and lets you call directly, all in one place. From database → inbox → deal closure. No gaps. No guesswork. Want the full cheat sheet? Drop CHEAT in the comments, I’ll DM you the breakdown. (Make sure we’re connected so I can send it over!)

I sent 10,000,000 cold emails and learned this Science behind reaching out again until they reply. The data is clear: → Deals happen after touch #5. → Replies come from the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th message. → 80% of wins live between the 5th and 12th follow-up. The mistake isn’t in your first message. It’s in not showing up again. Top reps don’t “hope to get lucky.” → They follow up with precision. Once they launch a cold email campaign They automate the follow-up sequence, and personalize it, at scale. Using Underfive | Human-Like Inbox Manager That’s how you win more. Steal this cheat sheet. Send it to your team. And make sure you never forget a follow-up again.

You don’t need to feel more confident. You need more data. Feeling confident is overrated. If you don't feel confident, it's probably because you don't have enough reps in. (Doesn't apply to my Wordle game though 🥲) Whenever I take on a new marketing client, I get asked the same question: "How confident are you that your strategy will work?" The honest answer? It depends on how much data I have. If I've tried certain strategies before, it's easier to approximate how it'll go for the new client. I counted the other day and currently at approximately 140 different businesses that I've worked with. 🤯 But what if you don't have the data yet? You hustle. You waste as little time as possible getting the reps in and you test, test, test. I love this quote by Daniel Priestley “Confidence is the ability to know what’s going to happen next.” So next time you're starting a new job or learning a new skill, stop blaming yourself for being bad at something. Instead go collect your 30 reps. Confidence will follow.

Ever felt overwhelmed managing bulk communications and notifications through Google Sheets? You’re not alone! Here’s how to master Google Sheets automation with some simple, game-changing tips: 🚀 **Best Practices for Bulk Communications in Google Sheets:** • **Clean Your Data First:** Ensure contact info is accurate to avoid bounce-backs and errors. Bad data = wasted time. • **Use Add-ons Wisely:** Tools like Mail Merge or Google Apps Script help send personalized emails straight from Sheets—no manual copy-pasting! • **Segment Your Audience:** Group contacts based on criteria (location, roles, engagement). Targeted messages = higher response rates. • **Automate with Triggers:** Set time-based or event-based triggers in Apps Script to send notifications automatically without lifting a finger. • **Track Responses:** Create status columns to monitor who opened, replied, or requires follow-up. Data-driven decisions work best. • **Test Before Blast:** Send test emails to yourself to check formatting, content, and links before the actual send. Remember, automation doesn’t mean losing the personal touch. Personalization + smart automation = communication magic!✨ #GoogleSheets #Automation #BulkEmail #DigitalTransformation #ProductivityHacks #WorkSmart #AIforBusiness Ready to transform your workflow?

I made a post few days ago about a question I was asked: “What next, after you have completed a tutorial or a course?” In this video, I made further emphasis on the importance of applying that skill you have learned without hesitation. What are the practical steps you take once you learn something in data or even outside the technical world? How do put it into use and make it useful for you? Please share in the comments. I post videos like this on my TikTok: https://lnkd.in/gXM425gX

I used to spend 2 hours every Monday morning doing the same thing: Copying data from three different sources. Pasting it into a spreadsheet. Manually formatting it into a report. It was tedious, error-prone, and the worst way to start the week. 😫 Then I discovered n8n, a low-code automation tool. I was a complete beginner, but I decided to make that report my first project. Here’s the simple workflow I built: ➡️ Fetches new data automatically from Google Sheets. ➡️ Aggregates and formats the key metrics. ➡️ Posts a perfect summary directly to our team's Slack channel. The result? A 2-hour manual slog is now a 1-click workflow. The ROI was instant. It's not just about the hours saved; it’s about reclaiming mental energy for more strategic work. If you think automation is too complex or only for developers, think again. Start with one small, repetitive task. The feeling of watching it run on its own is a game-changer.
