LinkedIn Ads & Outreach Services for Sporting Goods Stores

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Yes. LinkedIn is where coaches, athletic directors, corporate wellness buyers, and facility managers spend their workday. Worqd runs personalized, permission-aware outreach to relevant accounts — the opposite of a template blast — combined with LinkedIn ads that put your team packages, bulk equipment offers, and technical services like golf club fitting in front of the right buyers.","question":"Can LinkedIn outreach help my sporting goods store reach team sports buyers and coaches, not just consumers?"},{"answer":"Our AI SDR and AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — in under 60 seconds, 24/7 including after-hours and weekends. Calls can be handed to a real person with full context, and everything books into your existing calendar using your rules.","question":"How fast do you respond when a prospect replies to our ads or outreach?"},{"answer":"Facebook and Google reach individual consumers; LinkedIn reaches the buyers who purchase in volume — team coordinators, schools, corporate programs, and facilities. Worqd treats LinkedIn as one channel inside one integrated plan, so your paid ads, creative, and follow-up all report together instead of in fragmented vendor silos.","question":"We already run Facebook and Google ads for our store. Why add LinkedIn?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. We first find your bottleneck, build the plan, then launch quickly. From there we learn and improve — observing lead quality, testing what matters, and scaling the winning channels and angles over time.","question":"How long does it take to see results from LinkedIn campaigns?"},{"answer":"Worqd's AI SDRs deliver a claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–80% lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team. And unlike a typical agency that handles only ads or only creative, one partner runs the entire path from first click to booked call — no vanity metrics, just one plan and one report.","question":"How is Worqd different from hiring an SDR team or another marketing agency?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the Bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where growth is stuck — before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Launch Quickly","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"LinkedIn campaigns, creative, and outreach go into motion, with our AI SDR handling every response.
