People are most drawn towards media, so have at least an image in each post.
Videos show authenticity, authority, and are your best bet for being seen as a
thought leader.

Your Script
Be ready
While you want to sound natural, having a script prepared for every type of
interaction you encounter keeps you ﬂowing more easily on LinkedIn.
Create a script for new connections, comments responses, cold outreach,
and warm leads.
16.

Your Blueprint
Be organized
Besides a script, you're going to want to know exactly how to respond to
each lead.
You might want to send a video to messages, link to a particular page of your
website for commenters, or link to your homepage for cold leads.
Know what you plan to do so you'll more easily pick up on what works and
what needs to improve.
Your App
Respond to leads
You can easily lose a lead if you don't take action immediately. People lose
interest fast.
Whether it's from a comment or a message, having the app is a great way to
follow up on new leads.
