If You’re Only Posting from Your Company Page—You’re Doing It Wrong

If your company is active on LinkedIn but you aren’t posting from your personal profile, you’re missing half the equation—and likely half the results. 

In today’s trust-based economy, people want more than a polished brand message. They want to hear from the actual people behind the business.

Here’s why posting on your personal LinkedIn profile isn’t just a bonus—it’s a business necessity.

1. People Work with People—Not Just Brands

Trust doesn’t start with a logo. It starts with a person.

When you show up on LinkedIn with content that educates, shares insight, and answers real client questions, you’re not just building awareness—you’re building credibility.

– People get to know you.

– People begin to like you.

– Consistent, high-quality posts help people trust you.

That’s the foundation of any good relationship and a potential client. 

2. You Build Industry Authority Faster

Thought leadership shapes perception. In fact, 65% of buyers say thought leadership significantly influences how they view a company. But here’s what makes the difference—they don’t remember the logo. They remember the person.

Personal visibility matters:

• Buyers are 82% more likely to trust a business when its leadership is active on social (Brandfog).
• Content shared by individuals gets reshared 24x more often than the same message shared by a company page.

That means when you speak up, your company’s credibility goes further. Consistent, thoughtful posts don’t just showcase your expertise—they cement your place in the minds of your audience. And when your name is top-of-mind, your business benefits.

3. Your Personal Brand Is a Business Asset

A personal brand isn’t just about recognition—it’s about results. When you build a visible, consistent presence online, you give people a reason to trust you before they ever speak to you. In professional services, that’s everything.

And here’s the kicker: LinkedIn has over 1 billion users, but fewer than 1% post content regularly. That’s not a typo, that’s an opportunity. When you show up consistently, you’re not just part of the conversation—you own the space.

Why this matters:

– Strong personal brands accelerate trust and shorten the sales cycle.

– Executives with active social media presence drive significantly more inbound leads.

– You’ll be remembered not because you shouted the loudest, but because you showed up when others stayed silent.

Building your brand doesn’t mean chasing clout. It means showing up with value, consistently—and positioning yourself as the trusted name in your field.

4. Your Personal Posts Drive More Engagement

Here’s what 15+ years in digital marketing has made clear: LinkedIn personal profiles consistently outperform business pages in terms of reach and engagement.

The numbers don’t lie:

– Personal accounts can receive up to 8x more engagement than company pages.

– The algorithm favors people over businesses.

– Your network is already full of people who know you—leverage it.

If your business page is posting but your leaders aren’t, you’re not even close to maximizing your visibility.

5. It Keeps You Connected and Referable

When you post from your personal profile, you keep your network warm. You remind people what you do, who you help, and how to send you business. That matters—especially after events, webinars, and networking conversations.

Use Sales Navigator to:

– Track the people you meet.

– Engage with their posts regularly.

– Stay visible and top of mind long after the handshake or Zoom call.

It’s a small habit with a massive upside.
