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)

1. Awareness posts — short, quotable, easily shareable (top of funnel).
2. Personal posts — stories & vulnerability to build trust/personality.
3. Educational posts — A → B, actionable frameworks or step-by-step (middle funnel).
4. “How we do it” / IP posts — company-specific frameworks or proprietary methods (differentiation).
5. 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

• Audience & list:
  • Grew from ~20k to 1M+ LinkedIn followers.
  • Newsletter: ~250,000 subscribers (built in ~1 year).
• Business / financial:
  • “Millions a year” revenue across portfolio (no exact ARR/MRR disclosed).
  • Agency historical pricing included very high-ticket deals (e.g., $100k/month services).
  • Presenter has raised ~£35M in venture capital across ventures.
• Content performance & algorithm signals:
  • Carousels/infographics/cheat sheets: ~2x better for impressions and follower conversion.
  • Two-sentence hooks: ~20% better performance (first line ≈ 65 characters; second ≈ 45 before ellipses).
  • Engaging with 10–30 accounts/day → ~50% increase in impressions.
  • Educational posts drive ~80% of follower growth when they land.
• Case-study outcomes:
  • Bugatti Instagram: 500k → 3M followers (claimed).
  • Dr. Caroline Frost: 20k → 200k followers + sold-out business in 6 months.
• Timelines:
  • Personal brand build: ~2.5 years to major scale.
  • Newsletter cadence: weekly (every Sunday in example).
  • Product timeline example: book releasing in ~1 year (market via newsletter).

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

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