How Primotech Used LinkedIn, Live Events & Jazz to Build a 2,500+ CISO Network and Host Monthly Sold-Out Roundtables

July 04, 20253 min read

(and grow your LinkedIn Network 

by 2,500 Senior Leadership Connections in 12 Months)

The Problem:

Manual outreach was draining time and barely scratching the surface.

Steve Dodsworth is the driving force behind Primotech Consulting, a strategic advisor for growth in Cyber and Financial Services markets. Primotech is dedicated to connecting their clients with senior leaders who are responsible for decision making in their organisations.

But:

  • CISOs don’t respond to cold sales messages

  • Discovery calls weren’t cutting through the noise

  • Event signups were inconsistent and hard to manage

The Challenge: How to Connect with Senior Leadership in an ethical way, and Build a Sustainable Network of High-Quality Relationships

Steve aimed to expand Primotech Consulting’s clients’ presence in the UK cybersecurity industry by connecting with senior CISOs and building warm, genuine long-term business relationships. 

However, these are some of the toughest to reach decision makers in the industry. 

To get their attention was hard enough to do this in the right way and consistently, he would need to keep up a gruelling, constant routine of outreach. This was inefficient, resulting in slow connection acceptance, and limited growth and engagement.

The core problem was:

Consistent and effective lead generation with high-level cybersecurity professionals required a scalable and personalised approach and strategy that Steve couldn’t achieve alone.

The Outcome:

INONDA helped Steve launch a full-scale campaign that:

  • Grew his LinkedIn by 2,500+ senior leaders in 12 months

  • Built a 400+ strong CISO community

  • Hosted monthly roundtables with 20+ ideal attendees per event

  • Turned networking into a predictable pipeline

All under the brand:

🎶 Cyber & Beats – CISO Edition

Live jazz. High-end venues. Real conversations.

Zero sales pressure. Maximum strategic insight.

The System Behind the Results

1. Segmented Prospecting

  • Defined the ideal CISO profile across company size, role, and pain points

  • Built smart searches on LinkedIn with 1st, 2nd, 3rd-degree filters

  • Created strategic lists of 1,000+ prospects using smart data enrchment

2. Profile + Messaging Overhaul
