The asset sitting on the shelf

"The best marketing doesn't feel like marketing."

Tom Fishburne

Here's what nine out of ten sellers do after publishing their first LinkedIn article: they share it once, get some likes, feel good about themselves, and then ... nothing. The article sits there like an expensive jacket in the closet—impressive, but never worn.

That's the equivalent of spending weeks building a custom proposal, using it once, and never repurposing it again.

Your article isn't just content. It's a sales asset that does five jobs:

  1. Opens cold conversations (without looking like you're selling)

  2. Progresses stalled deals (by adding new value)

  3. Builds executive access (by demonstrating strategic thinking)

  4. Differentiates you from competitors (who only send decks)

  5. Creates inbound opportunities (while you sleep)

But here's the thing: assets only create value when you deploy them strategically. And most sellers never learn how to do that.
