- 90% of your buyers will never like your posts
90% of your buyers will never like your posts
But they’re watching—and buying. Here's how to reach them.
Here’s a wild stat most founders miss:
90% of your buyers will never like, comment, or engage publicly.
But they’re watching.
They scroll. They read.
They see you post again. And again. And again.
Until one day, they DM:
“Hey—I’ve been following you for a while. Can we talk?”
That’s what I call the invisible pipeline.
One of my clients almost quit posting.
She told me, “Nobody’s interacting. Maybe this isn’t working.”
I told her to stay consistent and trust the process.
Two weeks later:
✔ Two DMs from lurkers
✔ Both turned into discovery calls
✔ One closed deal
✔ Zero likes on the posts that landed them
Here’s why it works:
✅ Most B2B buyers don’t engage because they’re decision-makers
✅ But they do research silently—especially on LinkedIn and X
✅ Consistency builds familiarity, which builds trust, which builds pipeline
The problem?
Most founders post a few times, see low engagement, and assume it’s a waste.
They quit right before the lurkers lean in.
So here’s the mindset shift:
Stop creating content for likes.
Start creating content for leverage.
Because when your dream buyer is watching silently for 6 weeks...
And then finally reaches out?
That’s the warmest lead you’ll ever get.
If you want a content + DM system that targets your invisible pipeline…
Reply “PIPELINE” and I’ll show you how we build it.
