PeriodSep 28 – Nov 5
Ideal client: senior professionals, founders and enterprise teams who are very good at their work but invisible on LinkedIn.The challenge: The coach wrote that being good at your job and being visible for being good at your job are two completely different skill sets. Most people reacting are professionals and AI practitioners. Which posts reach the senior leaders who would buy a 1:1 program or an enterprise cohort?

Who actually reads you, and what the LinkedIn algorithm changed
The coach posts about beating the LinkedIn algorithm. But reach only counts if the right people are in it.
We read the public reactions on the coach's 9 posts from 28 September to 5 November 2026 and sorted every person by role.

The large middle group is managers, analysts, engineers and consultants, many in AI and data. They use what the coach teaches, and they can be the way into an enterprise cohort.

What to post on LinkedIn to reach senior leaders

6 rules for LinkedIn engagement from senior leaders
These rules come from what worked on the coach's own profile, and from the best-performing posts by LinkedIn growth and personal branding coaches over the last 3 months.
1
Name the senior reader's frustration in the first line. “Don't have another six months to burn” speaks to someone senior and busy. Generic visibility tips speak to everyone.On this profile: the post that opened on it had the highest share of senior leaders, 33.3% (16 of 48 reactions read).
Swap the question they ask for a better one. “Which AI tool should we buy?” becomes “Which part of our work is slowing us down?”. A leader recognises their own meeting.On this profile: the reframe post brought 19 senior leaders, 31.1%. Across the niche: Michael Lee's reversal drew 739 comments.
Give steps they can run this week. Prompts to copy, steps to follow, one per weekday. Senior readers save what they can hand to their team on Monday.On this profile: the Claude prompts post brought 20 senior leaders, tied for the most of any post.
Talk about the algorithm with your own numbers. A coach who admits a flop is easier to trust than one selling a hack. Then show what to watch instead.Across the niche: Lara Acosta's 129-impressions post drew 1,296 comments on 3,385 likes.
Tell the story behind what AI made. The visual stops the scroll. The story of why the coach made it, and what AI did vs what a person did, is what senior readers react to.On this profile: the animated map post with its story brought 27.3% senior leaders. The post with a one-emoji caption brought 17.2%, on 360 reactions.
Say what you do in one sentence a buyer could repeat. “I make remarkable people impossible to miss.” One line that a reader can pass on to a colleague who needs it.Across the niche: Dennis Olympios' one-sentence promise drew 1,432 comments on 4,441 likes.
When senior leaders read: the best time to post on LinkedIn for LinkedIn visibility coaches
We compared the share of senior leaders by the day each post was published. All 9 posts went out between 6:54 and 7:24 a.m. Pacific, so there is no hour to compare.

5 posts ready to publish to target senior leaders
Each post follows the rules above, in the coach's voice. Swap in your own details before posting: the real client story is what makes it land.
1Ready to postReversal + steps
Stop asking how to beat the algorithmRule 2: swap the reader's question for a better one. Modelled on the “Which AI tool should we buy?” post, 31.1% senior leaders.
Hook
Instead of asking “How do I beat
the LinkedIn algorithm?” ask yourself this.“Who do I want reading this post?”That one question changes everything.
Because the algorithm is rarely the problem.The target is.I see it all the time: A VP with 20 years of wins starts posting.
Tips for everyone. Quotes for everyone. A carousel for everyone.Crickets.Six weeks later, it’s “LinkedIn doesn’t work for people like me.”LinkedIn worked fine.
The posts just had nobody in mind.Here are the 5 steps I use with clients:
1. Name the 3 job titles you want reading you
2. Write down the problem they’d pay to fix
3. Open every post on that problem, in their words
4. Show one result from your own work
5. End on a question they can answer from their own weekThen look at who reacted. Not how many.Ten reactions from the right people beat 500 from the wrong ones.𝗦𝗼, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁?

One colleague, one bot, one guy who likes everythingRule 1: name the senior reader's frustration in the first line. Modelled on the “Do you need to be more visible on LinkedIn” post, 33.3% senior leaders, the highest share.
Hook
You’ve led the teams, closed the deals, fixed the messes nobody else could.And your last LinkedIn post got three likes.One colleague. One bot. One guy who likes everything. 🤣Meanwhile, people with half your experience are getting hundreds of comments and inbound calls.The difference isn’t talent.Being good at your job and being visible for being good at your job are two different skill sets.Nobody taught you the second one.Here’s what I see when I review a senior professional’s profile for the first time:
→ A headline with a job title, not a result
→ Posts that share company news, not an opinion
→ No story from the work itself
→ No comments on anyone else’s postsEvery one of those can be fixed in a week.None of them needs more time than you already spend in meetings.𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝘅 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁?

Here are 5 Claude prompts for LinkedIn
that tell you who’s actually reading you.Last month I shared the 5 that built my content dashboard.This set answers the next question:
⋆ Which posts bring the people I want to work with?
⋆ Which ones only bring other creators?
⋆ Who keeps coming back?𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆: Who reacted, by role
“Here are the people who reacted to my last 10 posts, with their headlines. Group them by role and seniority. Show me the share of founders, executives and directors on each post.”𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆: Buyers vs peers
“Split the same list into people who could hire me and people who do what I do. Which posts brought the most of the first group?”𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆: The regulars
“Who appears on 3 or more of these posts? List them with their role and the posts they reacted to.”𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆: What the best posts share
“Compare the 5 posts with the highest share of decision-makers to the 5 with the lowest. What is different about the first line, the format and the ending?”𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆: Next week’s posts
“Using what you found, pitch 3 posts for next week aimed at the decision-makers. Give me 3 hooks for each.”Copy them, swap in your own data, and run them this week.P.S. I put all 10 prompts (last month’s 5 + these 5) in one kit, with an example of what each one returns. Comment KIT and I’ll send it to you.𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗿𝘂𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁?

Impossible to miss: one client’s yearRule 6: say what you do in one sentence, then prove it with one client. Modelled on Dennis Olympios' “I make remarkable people IMPOSSIBLE to miss”.
Hook
3,387%.That’s how much my client’s engagement grew this year compared with last year.Same expertise. Same job. Same 24 hours.My client is a managing partner at a global advisory firm. Brilliant at what they do. Their LinkedIn just didn’t show it yet.So we didn’t start with posts.We started with the engine:
→ A brand people recognize at a glance
→ A content system that never runs dry
→ An engagement routine that compounds
→ A way to turn attention into real conversationsThe posts came after. And they kept coming, because the system made them easy.The number is fun. 🤣
But the part that matters is the new system for building strong relationships with potential clients.You don’t need to become someone else on LinkedIn.You need the right people to see who you already are.𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

To anyone posting into the void this week:The algorithm isn’t out to get you.Our Fixant content engine passed 67.3M impressions across platforms in 7 months.And some of my posts still flop.Every creator has them. The ones who grow just don’t stop there.Here’s what I watch instead of impressions:
1. Saves. People keep what they’ll use again.
2. Reactions other than Like. They tell LinkedIn the post moved someone.
3. Comments I answered in the first hour.
4. Who reacted. One founder who reads every post is worth more than 500 strangers.A flat post is data, not a verdict.Look at who showed up, keep what worked, and post the next one.𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁?

From reactions to clients
Content brings senior leaders to the profile. It doesn't say when to reach out. Most never comment, so they stay invisible, and a director reading every post in October may have hired another coach by January.
On LinkedIn, the right moment to start a conversation is when someone keeps coming back. We call that Hot: 5 or more points over 90 days, where a reaction counts 1, a repost 2, a download or a reply 4.

FAQ
Posts a senior reader can use: a better question to ask, steps to run this week, the story behind something AI made. Here the practical AI posts brought about 30% senior leaders, the cohort launch posts 23%.
For this coach, Tuesday brought the highest share of senior leaders (30.1%) and Thursday came second (26.0%). The sample is small, 9 posts, so test both before moving everything.
This coach posted 9 times in 6 weeks, with a gap in mid-October, and 13 senior leaders still came back 3 times or more. Two steady posts a week, on Tuesday and Thursday, keep those readers warm.
Look at who reacts, not how many. Group reactions by role, measure the share of your ideal clients per post, and follow the people who keep coming back. A free Netwarm scan does this for you.
Yes. Netwarm only reads public reactions to your own posts. It never logs in as you, never asks for your password, and never messages anyone for you.
How we made this playbook
We read the public reactions on 9 posts published between 28 September and 5 November 2026 (the first 100 people on each post), and sorted the 409 people by role. Comments were not counted, so engagement figures are a floor. 9 posts is a small sample: read the figures as directions, not laws.
Niche rules come from top posts by LinkedIn growth and personal branding coaches over the last 3 months. Role groups are approximate, and some senior leaders sell to the same audience; a Netwarm scan matches people to your own ideal client.
