Persona Playbooks: Executives, Sellers, and Job Seekers

TL;DR

• Executives: Authority + culture. 2-5 posts/week. Mix vision, product guidance, and people leadership.
• B2B sellers: Social selling. 4-5 posts/week. 80/20 value-to-offer ratio. Case studies and prompts that start DMs.
• Job seekers: Recruiter visibility. 2-3 posts/week. Proof-first content plus optimized headline, About, and skills.

Executives: authority multiplication

• Profile: Headline = role + value promise. Banner with product or mission proof.
• Content mix (weekly): 1 industry take, 1 product how-to, 1 culture/people story, optional quick video (<90s) or carousel.
• Cadence: 2-5 posts/week. Avoid link drops. Rotate formats to prevent streak penalties.
• CTA examples: "What's the counterintuitive trend you're seeing?" "How would you deploy this with a 3-person team?"

B2B sales: social selling sequence

• Profile: Headline: "I help [ICP] get [outcome]." Clear contact link. About section lists pains solved.
• Content mix (weekly): 2 case studies, 1 resource drop/template, 1 poll for discovery, 1 soft offer.
• Cadence: 4-5 posts/week. 24h spacing. Comment on prospect posts daily. Warm DM after rapport.
• CTAs: "Save this outbound checklist." "Which step loses you the most replies? Tell me in 15+ words."

Job seekers: recruiter visibility

• Profile: Headline with role + quantifiable achievement (test yours with our Headline Analyzer); About's first 35 words matter. Skills list up to 100.
• Content mix (weekly): 1 project breakdown, 1 skills demo carousel, 1 poll about tool/approach, 1 advice or lesson learned.
• Cadence: 2-3 posts/week. Avoid weekend publishing. Keep external links to comments.
• CTAs: "What would you improve in this project? 15+ words please." "Save this portfolio checklist."

Universal engagement moves

• Comment prompt on every post asking for 15+ word responses.
• Self-reply at 60 minutes and 6 hours with bonus proof or resource link in comments.

Tailor cadence, format, and prompts to the persona goal and you'll stay inside the algorithm's good graces while attracting the right audience.
