LinkedIn Isn’t Just for Likes, It’s a Sales Channel for B2B Founders

When you’re running a startup, it’s easy to write off LinkedIn as just another place to waste time. Feeds full of generic content, recycled frameworks, and humblebrags don’t feel like the right use of your energy.

But here’s the truth: LinkedIn works, if you use it the right way.

Not as a thought leadership vanity project. Not as a place to go viral. But as a consistent channel to build trust, attract the right people, and create real sales conversations.

Why LinkedIn works for B2B

Your next client is probably already there. Decision-makers in B2B companies aren’t hiding. They’re scrolling LinkedIn. They’re following peers. They’re quietly paying attention to what shows up in their feed.

If you show up regularly with sharp ideas and relevant insight, you stay top of mind. You become easier to trust. You stop sounding like everyone else who’s trying to pitch in the inbox.

And eventually, someone sends a message. Or replies. Or clicks through to your site. And suddenly that post turns into a pipeline.

You don’t need to be a content creator

Most founders avoid LinkedIn because they think they need to turn into a copywriter. Or they overthink what to say. Or they write one post, get no likes, and give up.

The goal isn’t to go viral. It’s to show up in a way that matches how you think and how you help. That could mean:

• Sharing what you're seeing in sales conversations

• Commenting on a common pain point in your industry

• Showing how your team solves a problem for a client

• Asking a question that sparks a real response

Consistency beats perfection. Relevance beats reach. You just need a way to stay visible without letting it eat your time.

The case for done-for-you LinkedIn

Here’s the problem: LinkedIn works best when it’s consistent. But writing regular content while leading sales, product, and everything else is a lot to ask.

That’s where a done-for-you service makes sense. You get the benefit of showing up, without spending hours writing, editing, or guessing what to post.

At Waymark, we work with B2B founders to build simple, focused LinkedIn programs. You get content that sounds like you, highlights your message, and helps you win trust at scale. Without becoming a full-time poster.

You stay in the loop. We do the heavy lifting.
