Prompts for LinkedIn and Social Selling

Prompt:

I learned something interesting in a recent sales conversation: {INSIGHT}. Turn this into a LinkedIn post that:
- Opens with a hook that stops the scroll
- Tells the story briefly
- Ends with a takeaway other sellers can use
- Uses short paragraphs (1-2 sentences max)
- Under 150 words
- NO hashtags
This should sound like me sharing over coffee, not a marketing post.

Prompt:

Here's a LinkedIn post from a prospect or industry leader:
"{POST_TEXT}"

Write 3 comment options:
1. An insightful comment that adds to the conversation (not just 'Great post!')
2. A respectful pushback or different perspective
3. A question that shows I've thought about the topic

Each under 50 words. Should make them want to check my profile.

Prompt:

Build a 5-day LinkedIn content calendar for a {YOUR_ROLE} who sells {PRODUCT} to {TARGET_MARKET}. Each day should have:
- Post type (story, insight, question, hot take, tip)
- Hook (first line)
- Full post outline (key points)
- CTA (if any — not every post needs one)

Mix it up. Not every post should be about my product. 60% industry insights, 30% personal stories from selling, 10% product-adjacent.

Prompt:

Rewrite my LinkedIn profile sections to attract {TARGET_AUDIENCE}. Current profile:
- Headline: {CURRENT_HEADLINE}
- About: {CURRENT_ABOUT}

Rewrite with:
- Headline that speaks to the buyer, not my ego
- About section that leads with the problem I solve
- Include social proof and results
- A clear CTA
- No jargon. No buzzwords. No 'passionate sales professional.'
I want prospects to DM me after reading this.

Prompt:

Write a LinkedIn DM to {NAME} who just {TRIGGER: e.g., liked my post / commented on something / changed jobs / posted about a topic}. Don't pitch. Start a genuine conversation. Reference the specific trigger. Ask a question that's interesting enough to answer. Under 40 words.

Prompt:

Create a 4-part LinkedIn post series on the topic: {TOPIC}. This should position me as an expert in {YOUR_DOMAIN}.

Part 1: The contrarian take (challenge conventional wisdom)
Part 2: The framework (a simple model others can use)
Part 3: The case study (a real example, anonymized if needed)
Part 4: The prediction (where this is heading)

Each post: hook + 3-4 key points + closing thought. Under 200 words each.

Prompt:

Create 3 LinkedIn polls that would resonate with {TARGET_AUDIENCE}. For each:
- The question (makes people want to vote)
- 4 answer options (make them interesting, not obvious)
- A brief post caption that gives context and invites discussion
- My planned follow-up comment after voting starts

These should generate genuine discussion, not just vanity metrics. Related to {INDUSTRY/TOPIC}.

Prompt:

Write a 60-second LinkedIn video script about {TOPIC}. Structure:
- Hook (first 3 seconds): Something that makes someone stop scrolling
- Problem: The thing my audience struggles with (10 seconds)
- Insight: My take on it (20 seconds)
- Practical takeaway: One thing they can do today (20 seconds)
- CTA: Soft, not salesy (7 seconds)
This should sound conversational, like I'm talking directly to one person.

Prompt:

I want to connect with {NAME}, {TITLE} at {COMPANY} on LinkedIn. Instead of a cold connection request, build a 7-day engagement plan:
- Day 1-2: Which of their posts to engage with and what to comment
- Day 3-4: A post I should make that they'd find interesting
- Day 5: Another thoughtful comment
- Day 6: The connection request (warm now, not cold)
- Day 7: First DM after they accept

This should feel natural, not stalky.

Prompt:

Turn this experience into a LinkedIn story post:
{YOUR_EXPERIENCE}

Structure:
- Hook: One line that makes someone stop scrolling
- Story: The situation, the challenge, what happened (4-5 short paragraphs)
- Lesson: The takeaway for other sales professionals
- Question: End with a question that invites comments

Rules: Short paragraphs. No jargon. No hashtags. Under 200 words. Should feel real, not polished.

Prompt:

Create a LinkedIn carousel outline on: {TOPIC}

Slide 1: Hook/Title (makes someone swipe)
Slides 2-7: Core content (one key point per slide)
Slide 8: Summary/CTA

For each slide, give me:
- Headline (under 8 words)
- Supporting text (under 25 words)
- Visual suggestion

Target audience: {TARGET_AUDIENCE}. Tone: authoritative but approachable.

Prompt:

I'm targeting these companies: {COMPANY_LIST}. Find the types of content their executives typically post on LinkedIn and help me:
1. Topics they likely discuss
2. Template comments I can customize for each topic type
3. How to add value without being self-promotional
4. When to transition from commenter to connector
5. A 2-week engagement calendar

The goal: build familiarity before I ever send a connection request.

Prompt:

Write a LinkedIn recommendation I can give to {NAME}, my {RELATIONSHIP: customer / colleague / manager}. They helped me with: {WHAT_THEY_DID}.

The recommendation should:
- Be specific about what makes them great (not generic praise)
- Include a concrete example
- Say something their future connections/employers would value
- Sound genuine and personal
