How to build on a strong year — and lift the individual accounts

Prepared for Commercial Insurance Associates  ·  Fortune's Path, LLC

Where We Stand

All three accounts are healthy or better — CIA averages ~9.3% (more than double the "strong" threshold), Scott rides the top of the 1–4% range, and Will sits comfortably inside it. The opportunity now is consistency, compounding, and lifting the individual accounts closer to the company account's reach.

Program-Wide Plays

What works across all three accounts, drawn from a year of results.

1

Lead with people

New hires, promotions, awards and personal stories consistently top the charts. Make people-first posts the backbone of the calendar, not the exception.

2

Use carousels and strong images

The franchise carousel hit 10% on tiny reach; image choice repeatedly drove impression spikes. Favor visual formats over plain text.

3

Invest in long-form

LinkedIn is now a top-5 cited source in AI search, driven by articles and newsletters. Publishing thought-leadership articles extends reach well beyond the feed.

4

Amplify client voice

A client touting CIA's expertise produced one of the year's best practice-area posts (17%). Pursue more client- and testimonial-driven content.

5

Time content to the calendar

Front-load awards, milestones and big thought leadership into the fall and spring peaks; use the summer to experiment while competitors go quiet.

6

Launch "LinkedIn for Producers"

Roll out the planned producer workshop so more of the team posts and engages consistently within clear brand guidelines — multiplying the program's reach.

Boosting Will's Account

Will averages 2.3% — healthy, but trailing Scott's 3.2%. The gap isn't content quality; it's reach and rhythm. Here's how to close it.

The single biggest lever: Scott out-performs Will largely because he actively likes, comments on, and reposts content in his feed. Anna's #1 documented tip — a few minutes of daily engagement — directly lifts an account's own reach.

Engage daily — 10 minutes

Highest impact

Like, comment, and repost in his feed each morning. Self-engagement is the clearest driver separating Scott's numbers from Will's. Costs ~10 minutes a day.

Double down on personal leadership

Highest impact

Will's best posts are personal: "18 Summers," Father's Day (10 comments), Top Workplaces (7%). Lean into first-person leadership stories tied to a business theme.

Tag people with reach

Quick win

His birthday post spiked on impressions thanks to tagging. Strategically tag colleagues, clients and partners with their own wide audiences.

Stronger visuals

Quick win

Image choice drove his highest-impression posts. Use a candid photo or carousel rather than plain text whenever possible.

Post on a steady cadence

Foundational

Consistency compounds on LinkedIn. A reliable weekly rhythm — vs. sporadic posting — keeps the algorithm and audience warm.

Write the occasional article

Growth

As President, Will is ideally positioned for long-form thought leadership, which earns reach in both the feed and AI search.

Seasonal Playbook

Match content intensity to LinkedIn's yearly rhythm.

Season Pattern What to do
Summer (Jul–Sep) Platform-wide slump; lighter traffic Stay visible while competitors go quiet. Test formats, reshare evergreen wins, keep cadence — don't go dark.
Fall (Sep–Nov) Strongest window; conference season Front-load awards, event recaps and flagship thought leadership. Push producer participation here.
New Year (Jan–Feb) Quieter reset Reflective and forward-looking content; client wins and goal-setting themes. Lower volume is normal.
Spring (Mar–May) Strong run; awards & renewals Awards, milestones, office news, renewals-season expertise. A natural second peak — invest accordingly.
