Who Actually Posts on LinkedIn – And Why It Matters for Growth

Using LinkedIn Sales Navigator data, we show who actually posts on LinkedIn, how participation changes by role and company size, and how it relates to company growth.

Most advice about LinkedIn is obsessed with what to post, how often to post, and whether posting is “worth it”. But almost nobody talks about the more important question: who actually posts in the first place – and how uneven participation really is across a business.

In this short paper, we use LinkedIn Sales Navigator data to show how posting behaviour changes and its impact on growth.
