Your new LinkedIn banner, headline and Featured

Five options, each a different layout. Pick one number and use that option's banner, headline and Featured tile together. Every option sends people to your Commercial Property 5-Number Check spreadsheet with the keyword “FIVE”, the same one you used on 25 August. Each banner is shown at real phone size too, so you can see it reads.

How to put it live

  1. Pick one option below.
  2. Upload the banner. It's already 1584 × 396.
  3. Paste the headline into Edit intro. It replaces the current one.
  4. Featured → move your “I analyse every commercial deal in 10 minutes” post to the top, or add it as a link, and upload the tile as its image.
  5. Reply to every “FIVE” with the spreadsheet, then the DM below.

The one-shot DM

Send it to anyone who likes or comments on your posts, or who's just connected. Swap the highlighted bits for each person.

Hey [FIRST NAME], I'm about to head out the door to grab my youngest from [ACTIVITY], so I wanted to send this quickly before I forget.

I saw you [liked / commented on] my post about [TOPIC] (or: thanks for connecting!).

I'm Tim, and I run Bow Tie Buyers Agency. I buy commercial property on the Central Coast and in the Hunter for people who already own a rental or two. A lot of them buy inside their super fund.

Your profile reminded me of [CLIENT NAME], who I was just on the phone with.

[He/She] [RESULT].

It works because I read the lease, not the brochure. Every deal goes through the same five numbers. If the cash on cash return comes in under 8%, we walk.

I spent 20 years reading retail sales data for the likes of Woolworths and Costco. I've now settled 12 commercial properties, 8 of them inside an SMSF.

Right now I've got an offer where [THE OFFER].

As you can imagine, the hotspot report isn't a big fan of me haha.

Anyway, I really have to go or [he'll/she'll] be waiting out the front.

Happy to walk you through how it works. I've got [TIME 1] or [TIME 2] free tomorrow?

If not, no biggie at all. I can just send you my 5-Number Check spreadsheet instead.

Nice to meet you!

Cheers,
Tim

Before it goes live

  • A clean copy of the spreadsheet: have a send-ready file or Google Sheet link before FIVE goes on your banner. In the screenshot the disclaimer row is cut off.
  • Your numbers: is “12 commercial properties settled, 8 inside an SMSF” still the right count? It's on every option, so update it if it has moved.
  • Retailer names (option 2): they're from your About. Only use them if you're comfortable putting them on your banner too.
  • Photo credit (option 5): the Newcastle Harbour photo is Creative Commons, so leave the small credit in the corner.
