LinkedIn lead generation for fractional executives

Fill the gap
between engagements.

Referrals keep you busy until they don’t. Ghost keeps your next client conversation moving while you deliver for the current one: posts in your voice, warm outreach to people already paying attention, and every lead tracked to signed.

The fractional problem

Referrals built your practice.
They won't schedule the next client.

Almost every fractional leader wins work through their network. That works until a retainer ends and nothing is lined up, because posting and follow-up stopped the moment you got busy.

Ghost runs the parts that slip when you’re delivering. It writes and schedules posts that show how you think, tells you who in your network is paying attention, and drafts a message that picks up from what they engaged with. You stay visible without blocking out a BD day.

FAQ

Common
questions

I get most of my work from referrals. Why would I need this?

Referrals stay your best channel. Ghost makes sure more of your network sees what you do between referrals, and tells you when someone is paying attention, so you can start the conversation yourself instead of waiting for an introduction.

Will it make me sound like a marketing bot?

Posts are trained on your voice, your expertise and your point of view, and you review everything before it goes out. Outreach opens with something the prospect actually engaged with, so it reads like a natural follow-up rather than a pitch.

I only need two or three clients a year. Is this overkill?

With so few deals, each one matters more. Ghost costs less a month than a single day at most fractional rates, so one extra engagement a year pays for it many times over. You can start with content and signals, and only switch on outreach when you have capacity.

Can I pause outreach while I’m at capacity?

Yes. Pause campaigns any time and keep the content engine running, so you stay visible and have a warm list ready when you want the next engagement.

Do I need Sales Navigator or a CRM?

No. Ghost has its own 600M-contact database with verified business emails and a built-in CRM, so you don’t need Sales Navigator, Apollo or HubSpot to get started.

How much does Ghost cost?

Plans start at $99 a month (£79 or €89), with a 7-day free trial so you can see results before you pay. Ghost Managed, where our team runs it for you, starts at £1,000 a month.
