Frameworks, playbooks and processes

Headline formula (profile positioning)

Use a single-line formula to communicate who you serve and what you deliver:

“I am a [job title] that helps [ICP] achieve [result] by [action]”

Use the headline to immediately communicate your ICP and the topics you post about.

Profile-as-landing-page checklist

High-quality approachable headshot; bold, simple banner that links to a newsletter or CTA.
About section = relatable founder story + clear destination link(s).
Featured section: 2+ tiles — primary newsletter/long-form + actionable inquiry/waiver/booking form.
Job entries: attach media linking to landing pages.

Three-page personal brand doc

Page 1: ICP (who)
Page 2: Topics / pillars (what)
Page 3: Content inventory / post ideas (how)

Purpose: never run out of relevant post ideas; every post should map to your ICP and pillars.

Five proven LinkedIn post types (content funnel)

Awareness posts — short, quotable, easily shareable (top of funnel).
Personal posts — stories & vulnerability to build trust/personality.
Educational posts — A → B, actionable frameworks or step-by-step (middle funnel).
“How we do it” / IP posts — company-specific frameworks or proprietary methods (differentiation).
Conversion posts — case studies / testimonials / real outcomes for people already in your funnel (bottom funnel).

Pre-validated-content method

Research established books, creators, and best-performing material on a topic, then adapt or visualize it in your voice/format. Don’t invent from scratch — lean on proven demand.

SERVE selling approach (anagram)

Show up consistently
Educate
Relate to needs
Value over transactions
Engage with authenticity

Deplatforming + funnel (ownership-first marketing)

Use content to drive followers to owned channels: newsletter, events, etc.
Typical funnel: lead magnet → newsletter signup → segmentation questionnaire → personalized content/offers → product ladder

Segmentation & personalization

Immediately survey new subscribers (e.g., business owner? revenue? staff? learning preference?).
Use answers to create segments and send targeted offers (free content, community, cohort/in-person, high-ticket consultancy).

Positioning-to-scale example

Start narrow (exclude ~90% of the market) to become the obvious choice for the remaining ICP. Once dominant, broaden positioning (e.g., luxury → luxury & premium).

Key metrics, KPIs and data points

Concrete examples & case studies

Verb Brands (agency)
- Positioning: “helps luxury brands connect with HNWIs.” Narrow focus enabled scaling revenue from £1M → £10M.
- Content: “State of luxury” reports, Luxury IQ data, case studies (Bugatti / Rolls-Royce / Aston Martin) used as lead magnets and credibility drivers.
Lotty (health tech)
- Built “State of Care” reports and a Care IQ dataset as industry lead magnets to capture care-home operators and invite them to events/platform demos.
Creator products
- Laddered offers: Creator Academy / Creator Accelerator → cohort → 1:1 / high-ticket.
Case study format advice
- Use public, verifiable outcomes; avoid logo-only or NDA-locked claims. Ask customers to validate results or make case studies independently verifiable.

Actionable recommendations / tactical checklist

Profile & funnels

Convert LinkedIn profile into a landing page: headline (use the formula), about (story + link), featured (newsletter + inquiry), job media (link to landing pages).
Always include a newsletter or owned asset in featured to “deplatform” followers and own the relationship.

Content creation

Use the three-page brand doc to generate daily post ideas; post daily.
Rotate the five post types across the funnel.
Prioritize carousels/infographics/cheat sheets for faster growth.
Use two-sentence hooks designed to avoid “see more” truncation (65 / 45 char guidance).
Visualize ideas/data; make dense educational pieces that require time-to-read (signals to the algorithm).

Pre-validation & research

Find books, creators, and top resources on your topic; adapt proven ideas into concise, branded content.

Social selling & direct outreach

Use LinkedIn filters or Sales Navigator to target ICP; comment meaningfully on their posts; add value before pitching.
Invite qualified contacts to events or demos; close high-ticket deals offline or at events.

Lead magnets & segmentation

Produce downloadable industry reports / cheat sheets tailored to ICP.
After signup, run short segmentation funnels (ask revenue, team size, learning preference).
Send tailored offers only to relevant segments to improve conversion and reduce churn.

Engagement & community hygiene

Comment 10+ words, authentically; avoid AI-generated comments.
If using a team, ensure they can truthfully represent your voice and add real value.
Regular commenting increases impressions and discovery.

Algorithm & format playbook (practical hacks)

Format ranking (best → least for impressions + follower conversion):
1. Carousels
2. Infographics / cheat-sheets
3. Videos
4. Polls
5. Photos + text
6. Text-only
Carousels / infographics convert ~2x better.
Two-sentence hooks (65 & 45 char thresholds) deliver ~20% better performance.
Visual data / idea visualizations increase feed cut-through.
Avoid AI-sounding short comments — platforms demote inauthentic/AI comments.

Product & GTM strategic guidance

Laddered monetization: free content → community / cohort → in-person / coaching → high-ticket consulting.
Position narrowly early; expand progressively to address larger segments later.
Build proprietary IP and frameworks (“how we do it” posts) to differentiate.
Prioritize products that deliver measurable outcomes — satisfied customers become your best marketing (real case studies).

Quick checklist to implement in the first 30 days

Update profile: headshot, banner → link to newsletter/lead magnet; headline per formula; featured tiles (newsletter + inquiry).
Create the 3-page brand doc: define ICP, 3–5 pillar topics, 30 post titles (10 per pillar).
Produce 3 lead magnets (one high-value report / carousel / cheat-sheet).
Publish daily: rotate the 5 post types; aim for 2 carousels + 3 educational posts/week.
Add newsletter signup + post-signup segmentation survey.
Engage: comment 10–30 targeted posts/day; track impressions uplift and inbound leads.
