Trail Papers
LinkedIn for B2B founders

Your buyers check your LinkedIn. What do they find?

I write LinkedIn content for B2B founders and CEOs. Not to collect likes. So the right 40 people know who you are before your sales call.

  1. Seen by the right peopleYour buyers and investors see you every week. Not random reach.
  2. Trusted before the callThey know how you think before you pitch.
  3. Conversations that start warmerReplies, DMs and intros from people you wanted to meet.

No deck. Teardowns come back within one working day: 3 points, free.

How I measure

Judged by who it reaches. Not how many.

Impressions are a vanity metric with good PR. I track which titles, companies and accounts react to your posts. That's the number that turns into meetings.

LinkedIn analytics for one post: 32,208 impressions, 97% outside my network, 20,451 members reached, 80 profile viewers, 14 new followers
32,208 impressions. 97% outside my network.

Not one conversation came out of it. That's when I stopped counting impressions.

Smaller reach. The room I actually write for.

Every post starts with you talking, not with a template. In a feed full of AI copy, your own voice is the one thing nobody can fake.

The approach

Trust first. Pipeline follows.

  1. Seen
  2. Known
  3. Trusted
  4. Asked

Every week

  • 15 new connections every weekday with people on your target list
  • Comments on the posts your buyers are already reading, so your name shows up where they are
  • Your posts go to that audience first, not to strangers
  • Three posts a week

Why three a week

Each post only reaches part of your network. Three a week keeps you in the feed of the people you want, without running out of real things to say.

What to expect

Month one: the right profiles start viewing yours. Months two and three: names from your list react and reply. The goal is that your next sales call starts with "I've seen your posts."

Noah Schmitz, founder of Trail Papers
About me

I'm Noah.

At Stripe I did outbound sales development: booking meetings with founders who didn't want to talk to me.

Before that, about 15 months in consulting, including Deloitte. Most recently I ran a 10-person content team at a trading platform. That's why I care who reads your posts, not how many do.

AI helps with research and first drafts. Every post is rewritten by me, in your voice. Nothing goes out without your yes.

Founding clients

The first three clients get a better deal.

Trail Papers is new. So my first three clients get a lower rate in exchange for a case study and an honest review. You get more of my time than any client after you. I get proof I can show the next founder. Ask me about it on the call.

FAQ

Questions founders ask

Will it sound like me?

It has to, or it doesn't go out. Every post starts from your own words on a call, and you approve each one.

How much of my time does it take?

About 90 minutes a month: two 45-minute calls, plus a few minutes approving drafts. If you want fewer posts, or one call gives us enough for four weeks, it's 45 minutes a month.

Who writes it, and where does AI come in?

I built a system that uses AI for research, finding the right people to connect with, and first drafts. Every post is rewritten by me, in your voice. Standing out on LinkedIn today takes original thinking, not AI slop.

What if I want to write my own posts?

Then the coaching call fits better. We talk for 60 minutes once a month and work on your strategy, your profile and the drafts you bring. Month to month.

What if I don't like a post?

Then it doesn't go out. Tell me why, and the next one gets better.

What do you measure?

Every month: who from your target list saw and reacted, profile views from the companies you sell to, accepted connections, and the conversations that started. Every quarter we sit down and decide what to keep and what to change.

What results should I expect, and when?

Posts from week one, and a first report on who you're reaching after 30 days. I won't promise viral posts or a number of leads. I'll show you exactly who is paying attention.

Your next buyer is going to look you up. Give them something to find.
