You’re posting on LinkedIn. People are liking and commenting on your posts. And yet, when you look at your practice, nothing has really changed.
In this episode, Susan Guthrie unpacks a pattern she sees repeatedly in workshops, retreats, and strategy sessions with experienced professionals using LinkedIn. The effort is there. The consistency is there. But the results do not match the visibility.
Susan explores why LinkedIn engagement can be misleading, how professionals get stuck being visible without being positioned, and how to use the platform as a long-term trust builder rather than a popularity contest.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why LinkedIn likes and comments reflect agreement, not trust, and what decision-makers are actually evaluating before they reach out
- How the content that leads to clients often receives less engagement, and why authority-signaling posts work differently by design
- How to tell when your LinkedIn visibility is not positioning you clearly, and why positioning matters more than posting consistency
