Matt Fox achieved a life-changing exit and walked away in 90 days!

Matt Fox was 72 hours from a multi-seven-figure exit when COVID killed the deal.

What followed: a complete breakdown, 2 years of therapy, and a total rebuild.

But he did it differently the second time.

Cut from 30 stressed employees to 10 people he loved. Stripped costs. Turned it into a cash machine. By 40, he'd cleared his mortgage and bought Spanish properties with cash.

Then, in November 2024, he sold the business and walked away in 3 months.

In this episode:

• Why scaling to 30 people nearly destroyed him
• The "cash cow" strategy that made him wealthy before the exit
• How to build a team that doesn't need you
• What selling a business actually feels like (the bit nobody warns you about)
• Why 80% of recruitment founders get exits wrong

This isn't your typical scale-and-sell story. This is what it really takes to lose everything, rebuild on your terms, and exit with your sanity intact.

For recruitment founders running 5-30 person agencies, wondering what happens next.

Every recruitment founder is investing in LinkedIn.

Spending thousands on Recruiter licences.

Building connections. Posting content. Growing networks.

But here’s the question almost no one can answer:

How much revenue is LinkedIn actually bringing into your business?

Most founders have thousands of connections but no clear process to turn that attention into cash.

That’s the problem we solve.

At Hoxo, we help recruitment founders build predictable revenue systems on LinkedIn, not just noise or vanity metrics.

Our clients are turning LinkedIn into £100K–£300K in new billings within months, using their existing networks and a simple repeatable process.

To show you how it works, we’ve created a short training video exclusively for RAG listeners.

In less than 10 minutes, you’ll learn:

- Why most recruiters are getting zero measurable ROI from LinkedIn

- How small, niche teams are generating consistent inbound demand

- The 3X Revenue System we use to turn LinkedIn into a predictable cash-generating channel

So fill in the form today to see how this system could transform LinkedIn into your agency’s most profitable channel: https://hubs.ly/Q03lBpYC0
