The Problem

You’re Showing Up. But Are the Right Conversations Happening?

You publish a thoughtful post. Other coaches respond. You accept new connections. A few messages go back and forth. Yet very little turns into a conversation with someone who could actually hire you... or sponsor your work.

Before increasing your activity, examine where the process is breaking down:

Are you engaging with the right people?

Does your profile make your relevance clear?

Do your messages build on a real exchange?

Are you inviting a conversation when a genuine need emerges?

This playbook helps you identify the weak step and build a more deliberate routine around it.

The Sequence

Know What to Do Next... and Why

A structured 4-step framework designed to take you from visibility to commercial outcomes.

Step 1

Contribute

Build your Pool of 50 around a specific buying situation. Add useful judgment to relevant conversations so potential clients, sponsors, and partners can experience how you think.

Step 2

Connect

Build on substantive exchanges and appropriate introductions. Develop a network with a clear relationship to the coaching work you want to win.

Step 3

Message

Continue the topic, ask a relevant question, or offer a useful resource. Use the person’s response to guide the conversation.

Step 4

Invite

When someone shares a need within your scope, suggest a fit conversation with a clear purpose. Establish whether there is a sensible next step for both of you.

What's Inside

A Practical System You Can Put to Work

Buyer and Profile Guidance

Clarify who you serve, what makes coaching relevant now, and why the right person should consider you.

Your Pool of 50

Focus your attention on existing relationships, potential buyers, corporate sponsors, and relevant partners.

The Five-Day System & 15-15-5 Routine

Give each day a purpose and organize your daily engagement into a focused 35-minute working block.

Specialty-Specific Examples

Comment and message examples across all six specialties... adaptable to actual situations and relationships.

Content That Supports Buying Decisions

Plan posts that diagnose a problem, teach something useful, and demonstrate your approach.

Qualification & Follow-Up Guidance

Know when to invite a call, what to explore, and how to agree on the clear next step.

Current LinkedIn & AI Guidance

Separate confirmed platform direction from assumptions worth testing.

90-Day Measurement Plan

Track completed qualified conversations, opportunity progress, and commercial results.

The Four Worksheets

Turn the Guidance Into Decisions and Actions

Included directly with your playbook download.

1. Buyer + Message Map

Choose a buyer segment, identify the situation that makes coaching relevant, and clarify your positioning, evidence, and next step.

2. Content-to-Conversation Planner

Plan focused posts around questions your buyers actually ask, with space for insights, examples, evidence, and next steps.

3. Relationship + Next-Step Tracker

Organize ten priority relationships. Record fit, substantive exchanges, and the next action so important conversations don’t lose momentum.

4. 90-Day Growth Experiment

Choose one constraint, establish a baseline, test one meaningful change, and review progress at days 30, 60, and 90.

Who It’s For

Built for Established Coaches Who Want a Clearer System

This playbook is for executive, leadership, business, sales, health/wellness, and career coaches who already deliver valuable work and want a more deliberate approach to developing opportunities.

It addresses both individual purchases and corporate engagements... including the different roles of participants, sponsors, and approvers.

For some practices, LinkedIn’s strongest contribution will be direct client conversations. For others, it will be employer relationships, partnerships, or referrals.
