Most LinkedIn polls are engagement bait — votes roll in, authority stays at zero. The fix: 20 polls across 4 categories that surface buyer signals, validate positioning, and feed next month's content. Pricing anchors, stack discovery, painpoint priority, belief tests — plus the Claude prompt and the 2-week rule I never break.
I cut my own LinkedIn posting schedule to once a week and filled the other four slots with substantive comments on other people's posts — profile views up 47% in a month, two DMs into booked calls. The full Perplexity-research / ChatGPT-draft / human-edit loop, the contrarian-first prompt, the Friday tracking ritual, and the rules that keep it from going spammy.
