The best content involves an ICP problem and a potential solution.

You need to mention their challenges to resonate.

Use this information to craft posts that resonate emotionally.

2. Create Content for Every Stage of the Journey

Different prospects are at different points in their buying journey. So their concerns and interests are different. For example, Some of them are aware of the problem but not looking for a solution yet. And some others are already aware of the problem, knows the solution and comparing products in the market.

Awareness Stage
In the awareness Stage, your prospect realizes there’s a problem, but they might not fully understand its scope or the impact it’s having. They’re not looking for solutions yet; they’re looking for clarity and insight. At this stage, your role is to educate and intrigue without pushing your product or service. Focus on sharing industry trends or  challenges they have.

Consideration Stage

By the consideration Stage, your prospect knows they have a problem and has begun exploring potential solutions. They’re educating themselves about their options and evaluating what might work best for their situation. Your job is to nurture their interest while establishing yourself as a credible source of knowledge.

Posts at this stage should provide clear, actionable insights into possible solutions. Sharing comparison frameworks or decision-making guides positions you as a helpful resource. For example, you might write a post explaining the key criteria for selecting a B2B sales enablement platform, highlighting the differences between various approaches.

‍

Decision Stage

In the decision Stage, your prospect is actively comparing specific solutions. They’re no longer exploring; they’re narrowing down their choices and looking for validation that they’re making the right decision. This is where trust and credibility are critical.

Your LinkedIn posts should highlight your unique value. Share client testimonials, measurable results, or behind-the-scenes looks at how your product or service delivers value. For instance, a post might focus on a client who achieved a specific milestone thanks to your solution. Use concrete details to make the benefits tangible and relatable.

Use common objections, case studies and stories in your content.

Comment section is going to be full of insights from your ICP. This is where they are going to explain their challenges and/or agree with your post. You need to analyze your comments to turn those insights into golden.


Here's how:

‍
Look for patterns in the comments. Are multiple people mentioning the same problem? Are there recurring questions or phrases? These trends highlight what’s top-of-mind for your audience.

Pay Attention to Specific Language
The way your ICP describes their problems is crucial. Note their choice of words, tone, and phrasing. Using their language in your content makes your messaging more relatable and impactful.

Spot Gaps in Knowledge or Understanding
Comments often reveal areas where your audience needs further clarity. If you notice repeated confusion or questions about a specific topic, consider creating follow-up content to address these gaps.

Some comments will carry strong emotional undertones—frustration, excitement, or relief. These emotions provide a deeper understanding of what matters most to your ICP and what drives their decision-making.

Relevance builds trust. Generic, mass-sent messages and often go ignored. When you use specific insights from a person's engagement with your content, you signal that you’ve taken the time to understand them. Especially when you know their painpoint as they commented your post. This approach not only improves response rates but also lays the foundation for a more genuine, productive relationship.

For example, if a prospect comments on your post about the challenges for cold colling, use that in your message. Instead of pitching immediately, you could ask a thoughtful question or share a resource related to their point.
