The 2-Second Attention Grab – How Samuli Turns Scrollers into Readers with Killer LinkedIn Hooks
Description
Guest: Samuli, Co-founder @ Haamu.io
What if your salespeople worked the same way as your website?
That's the kind of hook that stops a scroll. In this episode of Haamucast, Edward sits down with fellow Haamu co-founder Samuli to break down the anatomy of a killer LinkedIn hook – those crucial first two lines that determine whether anyone will click "see more" or just keep scrolling.
You'll hear:
👻 Why Samuli spends more time crafting the hook than writing the actual post (and how he uses AI to generate 20+ hook ideas for every post)
👻 The two high-performing hook formulas: "crazy-sounding statements" vs. "story-based openings" that make readers need to know more
👻 How to use job titles in your hooks to make specific people stop scrolling ("Most sales leaders I talk to daily think...")
👻 The power of numbers in hooks – from growth metrics to meeting counts ("This is how we grew Haamu MRR from €10,000 to €30,000 in one month")
👻 Why the "winners and losers" framework consistently delivers high engagement (and why he's using it more and more)
Bonus: Samuli disagrees with Adam Robinson's advice to ditch posts without great hooks – he believes there's always a killer hook hiding in a truly valuable post if you're willing to dig for it.
