Why I’m building this
The method always worked. Keeping it together didn’t.
I am Grant Kratz. I spent my career selling technology to large companies, leading teams across twenty countries. I have hired a lot of people, and let a lot of people go. Like most people in senior roles, I have been between jobs more than once.
Every job I’ve had but one came through someone I knew. It was never luck. I found work the way I found customers in sales: start with the people who already know you, pick the companies you want, find the person inside who can open a door, and get to them before the job is advertised. I’ve done it on LinkedIn for 20 years, almost as long as LinkedIn has existed, without ever calling it a system.
My contacts were in a spreadsheet, my drafts in ChatGPT and Claude, my follow-ups in another app, and my resume on yet another version. I lost track of who I had messaged. I spent hours asking AI for a better resume, when the resume was never the problem.
So I’m building what I wanted. First the research: what makes a resume bullet work, a headline, a key achievements section, a LinkedIn About and Featured section. That became our written guides, and everything FutureDay writes follows them. Then the system: every person, company and job in one place, and each morning a short list that tells you what to do next: who to contact, what to say and when.
I’m not an extrovert. FutureDay is written for people like me: good at the job, not natural at selling themselves, and tired of working out what to do next. You turn up, do today’s step, and come back tomorrow. It works across functions, from mid-career to the C-suite. And I’m building it with the people using it: what you tell us shapes what comes next.
