The Challenge

Technical founder of a B2B SaaS company selling to enterprise procurement teams. Strong product-market fit but struggled to generate top-of-funnel awareness with target accounts.

Previous attempts at LinkedIn content felt inauthentic and time-consuming. Posting sporadically led to minimal engagement and zero pipeline impact. Needed a systematic approach to build credibility without becoming a "thought leader."

Starting Position

  • 2,956 average monthly profile views
  • Sporadic posting (1-2x per month)
  • No attribution between content and pipeline
  • Zero inbound from LinkedIn content

Our Strategy

We focused on strategic positioning over engagement farming. Content targeted enterprise procurement decision-makers with tactical insights they could implement immediately.

Content Pillars

  • Procurement Process Optimization: Tactical breakdowns of common bottlenecks enterprise buyers face
  • ROI Case Studies: Data-driven examples showing measurable cost savings
  • Buying Committee Dynamics: Inside perspective on navigating complex approval processes
  • Vendor Selection Criteria: Framework for evaluating solutions (naturally positioning product advantages)

Engagement Approach

  • Strategic commenting on target accounts' posts (15-20 per week)
  • Connection requests to procurement leaders at target companies
  • Weekly digest of conversations and qualified leads

What Worked

The founder's technical credibility became a competitive advantage. Instead of generic "thought leadership," we focused on solving specific procurement challenges enterprise buyers face daily.

Posts included tactical frameworks (how to build a vendor scorecard, procurement approval templates, ROI calculation methodologies) that positioned the founder as someone who understands buyer pain points intimately.

Key Success Factors

  • Tactical over inspirational: Every post solved a specific problem target buyers face
  • Data-driven positioning: Used customer data to validate insights (with permission)
  • Consistent cadence: 3x weekly posting schedule maintained credibility
  • Strategic engagement: Focused commenting on target accounts' content created visibility

Client Testimonial

"I was skeptical about LinkedIn content - seemed like a distraction from actual sales work. But within 60 days, we had enterprise buyers reaching out saying they'd been following my posts for weeks. The content positioned us as experts in their specific problems, which completely changed the dynamic of early sales conversations. Worth every penny."
