Networking with Joe
One page that makes it effortless for anyone to introduce Joe Apfelbaum, share Joe's free stuff, or bring Joe into a room. Every block below is written to be copied as-is, with [brackets] marking the only words the sender changes.
Two audiences use it. Referrers (friends, clients, affiliates, hosts) land here from a link Joe sends and grab an intro. Joe and the team use it as the canonical copy-paste library when they go networking, so nothing lives only in someone's Notes app.
Header & quick links
The page should answer "how do I reach Joe" before anything else, because half the visitors came for exactly that.
- Headline: "Networking with Joe" with a one-liner: "Everything you need to introduce me, share my free tools, or get me on your stage. Copy, paste, done."
- Four buttons, always visible (built, in the top bar): Email Joe (joe@ajaxunion.com) · Book 15 minutes (evyus.com/booking) · LinkedIn (linkedin.com/in/joeapfelbaum) · WhatsApp (+1 917-865-7631). All four are already public on Joe's LinkedIn profile.
- A "How to use this page" strip: "Pick a section, hit Copy, swap the [bracketed] words, send." Three steps, one line.
- Personalizer (built, see the top of this page): their first name, your name, your affiliate link. Fills every template at once.
- Filter chips: Email · DM · Verbal · Social post · Prompt. Clicking one hides everything else so a referrer on their phone sees only what they need.
- Search box that filters blocks by keyword ("podcast", "affiliate", "Zoom").
Joe in 10 seconds
Fast facts a referrer can scan while they are on the phone with someone. Every number here comes from Joe's own LinkedIn data export, the evyAI knowledge base facts file, or a public page, as of Sept 5, 2026.
- Headshots: five photos with download links in section 05.
- evyAI logo: white SVG. Full logo pack (purple, white, icon, favicon, SVG + PNG) lives in the evyAI-Branding folder; Ajax Union logo at ajaxunion.com.
- Speaker reel: joeapfelbaum.com/speaker.
- A transparent-background cutout and a 12-second "hello" clip are not produced yet. When they exist, they go in section 05.
- Marketing rooms: "Joe runs Ajax Union, an Inc. 500 B2B marketing agency, and built evyAI, the AI assistant for LinkedIn."
- Sales rooms: "Joe teaches salespeople to book meetings from LinkedIn without being spammy, and built the AI tool that does the heavy lifting."
- Entrepreneur rooms: "Joe has spoken to EO, YPO and Vistage groups on networking and AI, wrote five High Energy books, and lost 95 pounds along the way."
Who should meet Joe
A referrer can only send the right person if the list is specific. These are Joe's own ten. Tick the ones you know and the counter tells you how many intros you owe him.
You know 0 people on this list. Tick the ones that came to mind.
Joe gives each person a conversation that includes ideas, intros, invites, strategy, and an authentic relationship built on trust. That is his Five I's in practice, and it is why people say yes to a second call.
- Ideas about their business, their content, their positioning.
- Intros from 30,000 connections and a vetted community.
- Invites to office hours, the Prospecting Party, a LinkedIn Live, an event.
- Strategy they can use that week, not a pitch.
- A relationship that keeps going after the call.
Joe doesn't do pitch calls. Expect 15 minutes where he gives you ideas, a couple of intros from his network, an invite to something worth your time, and a strategy you can use this week. Book it here and say I sent you: evyus.com/booking
The people I most want to meet right now are [one line from the list above]. If you know one, an email intro to joe@ajaxunion.com is the best gift you can give me, and I'll return the favor with intros of my own.
Get to know Joe
For the referrer who wants to vouch with confidence and the host who wants to know who is walking on stage. Values are drafted from Joe's own writing and are his to edit; everything else is from his LinkedIn record and public pages.
- High energy. Every conversation should leave the other person with more energy than they came in with. 136 people have endorsed him on LinkedIn for "Amazing Energy."
- Give first. Sharing is caring: ideas, intros and invites before any ask. Pitches get stitches.
- Be present. Listen, repeat back what people say, use their name. Email is not a meeting.
- Be yourself. People are attracted to sincerity. If you make a mistake, laugh at yourself.
- Self-education. From yeshiva and rabbinical ordination to teaching himself marketing, technology and AI. Formal education earns a living; self-education earns a fortune.
- Consistency and accountability. Habits control actions, and the real enemy is inconsistency. He timestamps his own profile updates so people can hold him to it.
- Automate your tech, not your relationships. A human approves everything that touches another human.

Joe Apfelbaum is the founder of evyAI, CEO of Ajax Union, and the author of High Energy Networking. He teaches business owners and sales teams to turn LinkedIn into a steady source of conversations.
Joe Apfelbaum is a Brooklyn-based entrepreneur, speaker and author of five High Energy books. He founded Ajax Union, an Inc. 500 B2B marketing agency, and evyAI, an AI assistant for LinkedIn with more than 23,000 users. Joe speaks to EO, YPO and Vistage groups on networking, AI and building a personal brand that sells.
Joe Apfelbaum is the founder and CEO of evyAI, the AI assistant that helps sales teams and business owners write, comment and prospect on LinkedIn, and the CEO of Ajax Union, the Inc. 500 B2B marketing agency he started in Brooklyn in 2008. He is the author of five High Energy books, including High Energy Networking and High Energy Secrets, the story of how he lost 95 pounds and kept it off. A Certified Google Trainer who has trained more than 10,000 business owners, Joe speaks to EO, YPO, Vistage and YJP groups, trains LinkedIn's own employees on LinkedIn, and runs free office hours on Zoom every weekday.
Joe Apfelbaum is the founder and CEO of evyAI, the AI assistant for LinkedIn used by more than 23,000 professionals in over 40 countries, and the CEO of Ajax Union, the B2B digital marketing agency he founded in Brooklyn in 2008 and grew onto the Inc. 500 list of America's fastest growing companies. Joe has spent 16 years on LinkedIn and published more than 11,000 posts there. His frameworks, including 1-5-10-20, Greeting, Feeding, Meeting, the Five I's and the Evyrgreen Networking System, are built directly into evyAI and taught in his free daily office hours, his LinkedIn Class and his Skool community, AI for LinkedIn, which has more than 1,800 members. LinkedIn itself brings him in to train its own employees on the platform. Before evyAI, Google made Joe a Certified Google Trainer and he trained more than 10,000 business owners over five years, which is how a self-described introvert discovered he loved a stage. He now speaks to EO, YPO, Vistage, YJP and Women Presidents Organization groups on LinkedIn, AI for business development, and networking, and works as a professional emcee and moderator. He is the author of five High Energy books: High Energy Networking, High Energy Marketing, High Energy Purpose, High Energy Answers, and High Energy Secrets, the story of how he lost 95 pounds and kept it off. He hosted The Breakthrough Maze podcast and is launching The evyAI Podcast. Joe lives in Brooklyn, New York, holds rabbinical ordination, is a single father of five, and believes every conversation should leave the other person with more energy than they came in with.
Joe Apfelbaum grew up in Crown Heights, studied in Lubavitcher yeshivas and received rabbinical ordination before discovering that his real calling was business and technology. He founded Ajax Union, an Inc. 500 B2B marketing agency in Brooklyn, and evyAI, an AI assistant for LinkedIn with more than 23,000 users. He has mentored Crown Heights young entrepreneurs, is a longtime member of the Executives' Association of New York City, and speaks to YJP, EO, YPO and Vistage groups. He is the author of five High Energy books and a single father of five.
I'm Joe. I built evyAI so salespeople could stop staring at a blank LinkedIn message box, and I run Ajax Union, a B2B marketing agency in Brooklyn. I've written five High Energy books, I run free office hours on Zoom every weekday, and I get way too excited about helping people find their ideal clients. Let's network.
On the built page, each bio should offer third person and first person with one toggle. The copy above is the third-person set plus one first-person block; the toggle is a build item, not a copy item.
Introduce Joe as a speaker
An emcee reads this cold, 30 seconds before Joe walks on. It has to work read aloud, with the name pronunciation right in the script.
Our next speaker started a marketing agency in Brooklyn in 2008 with no outside funding and grew it onto the Inc. 500 list. Then he did something most agency owners never do: he built software. evyAI is now the AI assistant more than 23,000 people open before they touch LinkedIn. He's the author of five books, including High Energy Networking. He has spoken to EO, YPO and Vistage chapters around the country, and LinkedIn brings him in to train its own employees. And he has a rule that every conversation should leave the other person with more energy than they came in with. Please welcome Joe Apfelbaum. (AP-fel-bowm.)

Introduce Joe on a Zoom call or in a networking group

Ghost emails
Written in the referrer's voice, so they can forward or send without editing anything but the brackets. Each one has a subject line, because a blank subject line is where intros die.
Subject: Want an intro to Joe Apfelbaum? Hi [Name], You mentioned [LinkedIn / getting more clients / AI for sales] the other day. I know someone worth 20 minutes of your time.

- Ask both sides first. Send the double opt-in above, then the intro. Joe says yes to almost everyone, but the other person deserves the same courtesy.
- Keep the intro under 120 words. One sentence on each person, one sentence on why. The templates above already fit.
- Put Joe's calendar in the first email (evyus.com/booking) so nobody has to ask for it.
DM intros
Shorter, warmer, phone-friendly. One template per channel, because a LinkedIn DM and a WhatsApp message have different manners.

Easy-to-copy AI prompts
Every prompt carries Joe's facts inside it, so the referrer pastes it into evyAI or ChatGPT and gets a tailored intro without knowing anything about Joe. This is also a soft demo of evyAI.
Write a warm, 90-word email introducing Joe Apfelbaum to [Name, title, company]. Facts about Joe: founder of evyAI, an AI assistant for LinkedIn with more than 23,000 users; CEO of Ajax Union, an Inc. 500 B2B marketing agency in Brooklyn; author of High Energy Networking; runs free office hours on Zoom every weekday. The reason for the intro is [reason]. Write it in my voice: [casual / professional]. End with Joe's booking link: evyus.com/booking. No hype words, no em dashes.

His talk is titled [title]. End with "Please welcome Joe Apfelbaum" and include the pronunciation AP-fel-bowm in parentheses.
Write a LinkedIn post (under 150 words, no hashtags in the first line) about what I learned from Joe Apfelbaum at [event / call]. The main idea was [one sentence]. Mention that Joe founded evyAI and tag him as @Joe Apfelbaum. Sound like me, not like a press release.
Turn these notes into a 60-word LinkedIn recommendation for Joe Apfelbaum: [what he helped with, the result, how it felt]. Specific, first person, no superlatives.
On the built page, add a "Run this in evyAI" button beside each prompt. evyAI already supports a prefilled prompt via app.evyai.com/app/chat/?q= followed by the URL-encoded prompt, so this is a one-line build item.
Lead magnet library
One card per free thing. Each card has the same four blocks: a one-line pitch, a DM, an email, a social post. Same layout on every card so Joe's brain learns where the email is. Everything here is free unless the card says otherwise.

Top tips, quotes and tools
Quotable material for hosts building a slide, writers needing a pull quote, and anyone who wants to sound like they know Joe. Every quote below is Joe's, with the source attached so it's copy-safe.
In his own words, from the 2015 article and the High Energy Networking book.
- Thou shalt not judge. Treat everyone with respect, be curious, ask questions.
- Sharing is caring. Ask what you can do for them and who you can introduce them to.
- Make introductions. Act like the host. Ask who they want to meet.
- Be present. Repeat back what people say so they know you are listening, not scanning the room.
- Use the name. Ask for it, say it, and ask again if you forget.
- Follow up. Pick two people, get their cell numbers, text them a selfie the same day.
- Find things in common. Hobbies and passions build trust faster than job titles.
- Finish high. Leave a conversation while it is still good.
- Have fun. If you make a mistake, laugh at yourself.
- Be yourself. People are attracted to sincerity.
- Post. Engage. Message. Connect. The four daily actions. The outcome that matters is five conversations a day.
- 1-5-10-20. One post, five strategic comments, ten DMs, twenty connection requests a day. About 1,000 new connections every 90 days.
- Greeting, Feeding, Meeting. Greet with no ask. Feed value. Then ask for a real conversation. Phone, video or in person; email is not a meeting.
- The Five I's. Information, Introductions, Invitations, Ideas, Identity. The five ways to feed a relationship before you ask for anything.
- Evyrgreen Networking System. Plan, People, Promise, Stories, Presence, Systems, then Exposure, Credibility, Conversations. The nine steps behind Pro onboarding.

- Walk us through 1-5-10-20. What does a real 15-minute LinkedIn day look like?
- You built evyAI after 15 years of running an agency. What did the agency teach you that a software founder would miss?
- LinkedIn brings you in to train its own employees. What do they get wrong about their own platform?
