Performance Trend

Best Performing Topics

Deeply vulnerable career pivots that integrate identity, status, and risk (sales → content)Community and gratitude narratives that name specific people and outcomesContent-as-sales and authenticity-as-system reframes for B2B teams

Virality Signals

Combining authority/status markers with vulnerability (“11th ranked female sales influencer… and I’m pivoting away from sales”)Ending with a powerful, universal question that invites self-reflection rather than simple yes/no answersUsing narrative arcs with clear emotional beats (hope → setback → risk → community → payoff)Naming and praising specific people and roles, which encourages organic resharing and word-of-mouthFraming content as a shared journey with her audience (“we” language, community terms, creator cohort wins)Strong, contrarian reframes of familiar problems (not a content problem but a listening problem; systems protect authenticity)

Common Hooks

Status-plus-contradiction hooks (credential followed by an unexpected pivot: ranked influencer but leaving sales)Pattern-break truth statements (“Truth is…”, “Your team doesn’t have a content problem…”) that reframe a familiar issueNarrative timeline openings (“This time last year… By summer… By winter…”) that promise a transformation arcCuriosity plus consequence framing (“Here’s how to write sponsored posts that actually perform…”, “Here’s what I mean 👇🏼”)Playful, low-friction prompts for lighter content (“Wrong answers only…”)

Common Endings

Reflective, open-ended questions inviting personal sharing (“What’s a version of yourself you’ve been afraid to let go of?”)Soft but direct program CTAs with keyword comments (“Comment ‘STAR’ to apply…”)Gratitude-heavy closers that zoom out to meaning and relationships (“You build with people / You grow with people / You win with people”)Light promotional nudges to external assets (“Check out the GTM flywheel on our new website…”, “Give us a follow!”)Reinforcing a core takeaway in simple language (“Systems don’t kill authenticity / They protect it.”)

Value Delivery Methods

Explicit, repeatable frameworks that translate directly into actions (step-by-step for sponsored posts, content harvesting systems)Contextualized examples from her own experience (what she struggled with, how she solved it, and measurable outcomes)Mindset shifts anchored in B2B reality (content as sales at scale, systems and authenticity coexisting)Emotional validation for creators and sellers navigating pivots, uncertainty, and self-doubtStrategic storytelling that doubles as both inspiration and positioning for her offers (Creator Accelerator, ColdIQ, ContentIQ)

Formatting Style

Long-form text posts broken into short, one- to two-line paragraphs for skimmabilityFrequent use of emojis as section breaks, emphasis, and emotional cues (✨, ⭐️, 💕, etc.)Numbered lists and clear frameworks for tactical or educational postsBold contrast structures (old me vs real me, flop vs convert, alone vs with people)Narrative sequencing using seasonal or chronological markers (by spring / by summer / by fall / by winter)

Writing style breakdown

Core characteristics

The style is conversational, emotionally warm, and highly accessible, but anchored in professional expertise.

- It blends

Professional/informational (frameworks, checklists, systems)

Personal/relational (stories, vulnerability, gratitude)

Lightly playful (humor, emojis, asides)

It is not stiffly formal; it is polished-casual. Think: a very sharp friend/mentor talking to you directly on LinkedIn.

Tone and energy

Generally high-energy and optimistic, but with moments of softness and reflection.

Emotional temperature is warm, supportive, and encouraging. Even when delivering hard truths, it never feels harsh.

- Posts often move through an arc

Start with a sharp or contrarian hook.

Drop into honest reflection or explanation.

Build to clarity, empowerment, or encouragement.

Energy is dynamic: fast-paced in hooks and frameworks, slower and more reflective in stories and emotional sections.

Voice and point of view

Frequent use of 1st person singular: “I” for stories, experience, and authority.

Constant use of 2nd person “you” when teaching, coaching, or challenging the reader.

Occasional 1st person plural “we” when referencing her team or collective behavior (“Most teams…”, “We’ve been trained to…”).

- The narrator position is

A peer mentor (not a distant guru)

A practitioner sharing what actually works

A human with doubts and pivots, not a flawless expert

- Heavy use of

Rhetorical questions (“okay but what do YOU think?”, “What’s a version of yourself you’ve been afraid to let go of?”)

Short standalone interjections (“Honestly?”, “And honestly?”, “The key?”, “It’s not their fault…”)

Parallel structures and refrains (“You build with people / You grow with people / You win with people”)

Storytelling appears often, but is tightly integrated with the lesson or framework.

She uses gentle humor and self-awareness (e.g., “I used AI to 10x my appearance🤣👇🏼”).

- She engages directly with the reader’s emotions

Validating (“It’s not their fault…”)

Challenging (“Stop copying… Start creating”)

Inspiring (“The world doesn’t need another copy… It needs the original version of you.”)

- Very frequent direct imperatives

Start with the problem your audience has.

Record everything.

Stop copying… Start creating

- But also uses softer suggestions

Consider this…

Here’s how to fix it

Even when commanding, the tone stays friendly and collaborative, not authoritarian.

- Mix of

Honest vulnerability (fear around pivoting, feeling lost, gratitude)

Empowerment (identity, authenticity, systems, structure)

Celebration and appreciation (shouting out team, husband, creators, partners)

She is willing to show doubt and fear, then pivot to insight and action. That contrast is core to her voice.
