A 90-day LinkedIn system for a top 1% sales executive starting fresh at a new company.
When a 9-year quota-streak AE moved companies, the goal wasn't more reach. It was building authority around real sales process — visible, in public, on a platform that actually drives B2B revenue.
The brief
Chad is a top 1% account executive — five-year average quota of 179.8%, three-time Platinum Club winner, ranked #1 out of 75 reps at his previous company. He moved to a new role at a high-growth fintech company and needed his LinkedIn to do the work his career had already done in private.
Most LinkedIn services would point him at viral templates, hooks pulled from creator threads, and a posting schedule that cosplays as authority. None of that helps a real practitioner. He didn't need to look like an expert. He was one. The system just needed to surface that, in public, in a way that reached the right buyers.
The strategy: dual-track
Two audiences, one feed. The system was built to attract two distinct buyers without splitting the brand:
- Track 1 — Enterprise buyers. CFOs, VPs of Finance, Heads of Procurement evaluating expense management platforms. The content angle: real finance ops insight from someone selling into the function every day.
- Track 2 — Aspiring AEs. Sales reps looking for a coach who's actually closed deals. Coaching content as a secondary monetization track once authority is established.
The voice was set up to be practitioner-first — what's working in real conversations, what failed, what the data shows from inside the company versus what LinkedIn thinks is true.
What was built
- 36 ready-to-publish posts across two content variants: 20 sales-tactics posts and 16 finance-ops posts tied to the new role transition.
- An engagement playbook — 25 pre-vetted B2B sales leaders rotated weekly, with comment templates and connection scripts engineered for visibility without sounding scripted.
- 4 lead magnets with DM keyword triggers. Each one tied to a specific post type, so high-intent readers had a tangible next step the moment they saw a relevant post.
- A daily 45-minute morning routine. Phone-alarmed, broken into 5 blocks: profile checks, top-of-feed comments, fresh post, lead-magnet replies, target outreach. Sustainable for someone running a sales quota at the same time.
- A profile refresh. New headline, About, Featured, banner — built around the dual-track positioning, not the "VP of Sales at Y" template.
- A weekly metrics scorecard with troubleshooting paths for the three most common failure modes (no impressions, impressions but no engagement, engagement but no DMs).
The lesson for any service business
The system that worked for a top-1% sales executive transferring companies is the same architecture that works for a restaurant trying to get foot traffic, a med spa trying to fill a cancellation, or an agency trying to land its next client:
- Get specific about the buyer. "Everyone in my industry" isn't an audience. Two buyers, named, with their daily problems, is.
- Lead with what's actually true in your business. The internal numbers, the real failures, the actual conversations — those are the only things that don't sound like everyone else.
- Make the next step trivial. A great post with no DM trigger, no lead magnet, no booking link is a good post that won't move revenue. Every published post has to know its job.
- Operate the system, don't just publish into it. Posts without engagement, comments without targeting, outreach without follow-up — these all leak the same way. The 45-minute routine plugs every leak.
Where this applies
The same dual-track architecture — practitioner content + targeted engagement system + DM-keyword lead magnets — is what we apply for service businesses on Instagram and TikTok. The platforms change. The buying psychology and the daily-operations cadence don't.
