Who buyers want to hear from

The CEO: direction and conviction

Buyers in a long SaaS sales cycle are partly betting on where your company will be in three years, so they read the CEO for a view of the market, the beliefs competitors don't share, and the trade-offs being made on purpose.

Getting this out of a CEO takes some pushback. A ghostwriter should ask what they'd argue about over dinner, what they've changed their mind on this year, or which customer request they turned down. The usual mistake is polishing real opinions into something that reads like a mission statement.

Made-up example opening: "We turned down our largest prospect last quarter. Their use case would have pulled the roadmap somewhere our other customers don't need it to go. Here's how we made the call."

The CTO: credibility with technical evaluators

Technical evaluators want to hear from whoever designed the system. Good topics include an architecture decision and what it cost, how the team approaches security, a problem that turned out harder than expected, and something the team chose not to build.

Interviews go best when they start from something concrete: a diagram, a recent incident review, a pointed question from a customer's engineer. The ghostwriter keeps the substance intact and has the CTO check every claim. The common mistake is sanding off the detail until the post says nothing an engineer would respect.

Made-up example opening: "Three customers asked us this month why we don't offer a self-hosted version. The honest answer is about upgrades, not cost."

The sales leader: what buying from you is like

A CRO or VP of Sales is most useful describing buying from the buyer's side: what strong evaluation teams ask, why deals stall in procurement, how to build a case a CFO will approve.

The material comes from sales calls and pipeline reviews, with names removed. A ghostwriter should ask about the last deal they lost and the objection they've heard most this quarter. The mistake is pitching. One "DM me for a demo" at the end undoes the trust the rest of the post built.

Made-up example opening: "Most deals we lose don't go to a competitor. They stall because nobody on the buyer's side owns the problem. Here's what we now ask on the first call to find out who does."

The CMO or product marketer: the problem and the category

Marketing leaders know how customers describe the problem, because they've studied it. Strong posts share something specific the team learned: a phrase customers keep using, a pattern from win-loss reviews, an assumption in the category they think is wrong.

Interview them about research rather than campaigns. "What surprised you in the last round of customer interviews?" gets further than "What are we launching?" The usual mistake is treating their profile as another channel for campaign assets with a personal caption on top.

Customer success: life after the contract

Late-stage buyers want to know what happens once they've signed, and customer success leaders are the most credible people to tell them. Good topics: how long onboarding really takes, the habits of customers who get value early, how the team handled a rough month.

Ask about one specific account, anonymized, rather than "best practices". Specific stories make these posts believable. The mistake is vague warmth: posts about loving customers with nothing a buyer could check.

Product leaders: the reasoning behind the product

Product leaders can explain why the product works the way it does, which is often what a serious evaluator most wants to know. Good topics: the problem behind a feature, a request the team turned down and why, how customer feedback changed a priority.

Start the interview from a decision, not a feature. The mistake is turning their feed into release notes. Buyers scroll past feature announcements, but they'll read the reasoning behind one.

Keeping several voices apart

When four leaders post, the hardest part of a ghostwriter's job is stopping them from sounding like one person with four profile photos. Good practice looks like this:

• A separate conversation with each leader. Voice comes from how each person talks: their phrases, their examples, how blunt they are.
• One shared topic plan. When a theme matters to everyone, each leader takes their own angle on it (the CEO on why, the CTO on how, customer success on what changed for the customer) instead of repeating one message in the same week.
• Different shapes of post. Some leaders tell stories, others make arguments or share short lists. Let that show.
• Real comments only. Leaders replying to each other is fine when they have something to add. A row of "Great post!" comments from colleagues looks exactly like what it is.

A quick test: cover the names on four recent posts from your team. If you can't tell who wrote which, the voices have merged.

How to tell if a ghostwriter can handle your whole team

Ask to see work for two very different people, ideally one technical leader and one commercial one. Ask how they'd prepare for an interview with your CTO compared with your CRO. And ask how they track who is posting what across the team.
