LinkedIn “About” That Converts: Vibes → Verified Proof
Your headline gets the click. Your About wins the reply. Use this practical framework to turn a nice bio into a lead magnet for interviews, clients, or collaborations.
The SPARK Framework (story → proof → action)
- S — Set the scene: what you care about solving.
- P — Proof snapshots: 2–3 outcomes that travel well between roles.
- A — Angle of value: your unique “how”.
- R — Relatability: a human detail.
- K — Kick-off CTA: what you want next.
Before → After (realistic transformation)
“Experienced professional with a demonstrated history of working in fast-paced environments. Passionate about innovation and teamwork.”
Set: “I build calm systems for messy growth—especially where onboarding and handoffs leak revenue.”
Proof: “Cut onboarding time 21→12 days across 4 regions; NPS +11. Standardized release checklist; lead time −29%.”
Angle: “My edge: simple playbooks, visible metrics, and coaching teams to own the change.”
Relate: “Recovering over-planner; I trade complexity for clarity.”
Kick-off: “Exploring PM/ProdOps roles in B2B SaaS. DMs open; portfolio below.”
Your About isn’t a résumé paste. It’s the why + greatest hits + what’s next. Keep it scannable on mobile.
Proof Snapshots That Travel Between Roles
- Speed: “cycle time −32%,” “time-to-first-value 21→12 days”
- Quality: “defects −18%,” “CSAT +0.6”
- Adoption: “120k+ users activated,” “DAU/WAU ratio +9 pts”
- Scale: “3 product lines,” “4 regions,” “team 3→12”
Positioning: Your “Angle of Value” in 2 Sentences
Answer: “What hard problem do I repeatedly solve, and how do I do it differently?”
- Ops/PM: “I reduce release risk with light process, visible gates, and coaching so teams keep shipping.”
- Content/Brand: “I turn complex products into stories that move revenue—not just reach.”
- Data/Analytics: “I make measurement simple so non-analysts act faster with fewer dashboards.”
Relatability Without Oversharing
- “Week 1 = map the work; Week 2 = remove one needless step.”
- “I sketch flows before I open any tool.”
- “I steal complexity from teammates so customers feel speed.”
