I mapped how a warm relationship actually becomes a deal. Poke holes in it.

Maker here, thinking out loud about something I keep running into.

Everyone says their best deals come from people they already know. But "work your network" is useless advice. It's not a system, it's a vibe.

What percent of your LinkedIn network have you actually spoken to in the last year?

Most people we ask guess somewhere around 30 to 40 percent. Then they open their connections, scroll for a minute, and quietly revise it down to about 10.

It is not a discipline problem. You added those people for real reasons. Then life moved, the feed buried them, and a few thousand relationships turned into a list you never look at.

We're building Aizyn. One question we keep asking founders.

We're building Aizyn, and before we get further we're talking to as many founders and sales people as we can. One question keeps coming up, and the answers are all over the place.

When you sit down to do business development, how do you actually decide who to reach out to?

How many LinkedIn connections do you have, and how many do you actually talk to?

A gap I can't stop thinking about.

I've got a few thousand LinkedIn connections. The number I actually talk to in a given month is closer to 20.

Everyone I ask has the same story: thousands of connections, a tiny fraction ever worked, years of relationships just sitting there.

What's the best deal you've closed from someone you'd almost forgotten?

A question from the Aizyn team.

We're a little obsessed with one specific moment: when a relationship you'd basically forgotten about suddenly turns into real business. A prospect who went quiet comes back after their company raises. An old customer resurfaces at a bigger company. Someone you connected with years ago starts hiring for exactly what you do.

Your LinkedIn network is probably full of deals you’re ignoring

Hot take (based on building this in stealth):

Most founders and sales teams don t actually have a lead problem.

They have a visibility problem inside their own LinkedIn network.

Aizyn - Your LinkedIn is a gold mine. See where to dig.

Every other tool helps you find more strangers. Aizyn does the opposite. It turns the network you already have into a daily priority list. It maps public company signals like funding, hiring, and role changes to the people already in your LinkedIn network, then surfaces who deserves your attention today, why now, and how to open the conversation. No scraping. No automated messaging. Aizyn drafts in your voice and you approve every send. A decision layer, not an autopilot.
