Voices: the people your buyers follow on LinkedIn

A voice is a person on LinkedIn whose posts your buyers follow. People who react or comment on those posts, and fit your ICP, become leads.

Take a head of RevOps who posts every week about pipeline reviews. The people who react to or comment on those posts are mostly other RevOps people, the buyers you sell to. That head of RevOps is a voice.

How a voice becomes a lead, with an example as WarmDogo shows it.

What it reads

Dogo reads everyone who reacted to or commented on the voice's most popular recent posts. A voice who hasn't posted much lately isn't skipped: Dogo reads their quieter posts instead.

Each voice can be read for reactions, comments or both. Both is the default. Comments say more than a reaction, and reactions bring more people.

How well it works

3.9

80%
of leads kept
A run is one read of the signal. From WarmDogo’s runs up to 30 September 2026.

Voices bring the most kept leads of any signal. People keep 80% of what a voice brings, against 49% for engaged with posts about and 43% for posts about. A voice's audience is self-selected: people follow a practitioner because they do the same job.

After a voice's first run, WarmDogo shows how much of its audience fits your ICP. That number is the best guide to whether a voice is worth keeping.

When to use it

Almost always. Voices belong in every agent's first set of signals, and they are what Dogo suggests first when it drafts one.

They are strongest when your buyers share a job title that has its own writers: RevOps, security, recruiting, finance, developer tooling. They are weakest when your buyer is "any founder", where every voice draws the same broad crowd.

How to pick good voices

Pick the person your buyer would forward to a colleague, not the biggest name in your industry.

Strong voiceWeak voice
A head of RevOps who posts weekly about pipeline reviewsA sales influencer with 400,000 followers
An analyst who covers your categoryA generic business motivational account
A founder in your space who writes about the problem you solveA competitor's CEO, whose audience is their own customers and staff
Someone your best customers mentioned on a callSomeone you admire who writes for a different buyer

Three checks before adding one:

  • Who comments? Open their last few posts. If the comments are from people with your buyer's title, the voice will work.
  • Do they post? A voice who posted twice this year brings little, even with a large following.
  • Is their audience yours? After the first run, the audience fit percentage answers this. If only a small share fits, swap them for someone else.

WarmDogo suggests voices whose audience looks like your ICP. The best few go on when an agent is drafted, and the rest wait in the suggestions list.

How often it runs

Daily. A voice that posts three times a week brings new people most days.

Questions people ask

What is a voice signal?
A person on LinkedIn whose posts your buyers read and react to. WarmDogo reads who reacted to or commented on their most popular recent posts, and keeps the people who fit your ICP.
Should I pick the biggest names in my industry?
Usually not. A creator with a broad audience draws reactions from everyone. A practitioner who writes for one job title draws reactions from that job title. Pick the person your buyers would forward to a colleague.
What if a voice has not posted recently?
Dogo reads their quieter posts instead. In a niche, a post with a handful of reactions can still be a room full of buyers.
