The quiet success
You post every week. The writing is good. Likes arrive, a few kind comments, the odd "great post". And the pipeline doesn't move an inch.
Meet the broadcaster: consistent, polished and talking to nobody in particular.
Applause isn't a conversation
Broadcast posts are written to be admired. They make a neat point, tie it up with a bow and leave the reader nothing to add. Your peers like them. Your buyers scroll past, because nothing in them touches the problem on their desk this week.
Being consistent has done its job: people know your name. The next job is getting the right people to talk back.
Four small changes
- Name the reader. Before you write, picture one buyer, say a head of sales at a 50-person software company, and write to them rather than to LinkedIn at large.
- Leave the door open. End with a real question you'd like answered. A sharp question gets better replies than a tidy conclusion.
- Go where your buyers already talk. A few times a week, spend twenty minutes leaving thoughtful comments on posts your buyers read. Comments are where strangers turn into names.
- Change what you count. For one quarter, ignore impressions. Count conversations with the kind of people you sell to.
Why it's worth it
The 2025 Edelman–LinkedIn research found that 95% of hidden buyers say strong thought leadership makes them more receptive to outreach. Receptive is the key word. Your posts warm people up; the conversation is where business actually happens.
Where we come in
