• You won’t believe this…Becca, LinkedIn’s #1 female creator in sales and marketing, is on BOSS

  You won’t believe this… Becca Chambers ✨ LinkedIn’s #1 female creator in sales and marketing, just joined me on BOSS, and she’s getting 4 MILLION impressions a month. 🤯 And she’s giving Gary Vee a run for his money Oh, and she loves talking about her ADHD. Let’s go as I release the FULL BOSS conversation here today! This conversation blew my mind. Becca is unapologetically real, insanely smart, and the kind of person who makes you want to drop what you’re doing and start building your LinkedIn voice today. Here’s just a taste of what we talked about: She’s giving Gary Vee a run for his money. Becca pulls in 4 million impressions a month on LinkedIn—not selling anything, just showing up as her authentic self. 🔥 “Say the quiet part out loud.” Becca calls out what everyone’s thinking—like how comms people are tired of being the “can you just” department. (Can you just make this pretty? Can you just clean up this email?) 🎯 Sales vs. Marketing? Sales is getting people to buy your thing. Marketing is getting people to care about your thing. 💡 Her ADHD is her superpower. Becca’s honesty about neurodiversity in the workplace is refreshing and so needed. Plus, she’s the first to admit that ADHD drives her creativity and gives her the edge in connecting authentically. 😂 Oxford comma wars? She’s ready. Becca swears it’s the most controversial topic on LinkedIn—and if you take a stance, you will break the internet. Let's test it out in the comments... Why this matters: Because Becca’s story proves one thing: you don’t need to have it all figured out to start building your brand. She began posting just to test ideas and now? She’s grown from 4K to 40K followers in a year without a formal plan, just showing up as her true self. Your turn: What’s the quiet part YOU need to say out loud? What’s stopping you from sharing your story on LinkedIn today? Drop a comment below. I want to hear it. ⬇️ 👉 🩷 Follow me, Ali Levitan, for more BOSS conversations on building brands, marketing and sales insights, and driving revenue like a BOSS. 🚀
