LinkedIn about section examples for B2B

A good LinkedIn about section earns the next click. The first two or three lines show before "see more", so they must name who you help and the problem you solve. Below: the structure that works, eight LinkedIn about section examples for B2B founders, sellers and consultants, and a template you can fill in tonight.

TL;DR
Only the opening shows before "see more". LinkedIn truncates the preview at roughly 270 characters, so lead with the buyer and the problem.
Use four parts: hook, proof, how you help, call to action.
Write in first person, in short paragraphs, with plain words your buyers use.
End with one clear next step, not a list of every way to reach you.

The structure of a strong about section

LinkedIn about section anatomy, four parts from hook to call to action with what each must do

Hook (first 2 to 3 lines). Who you help and the problem, in plain words. This is what shows before "see more".
Proof (1 short paragraph). A result, a number, a credential or a notable client type. No client names unless you have permission.
How you help (2 to 4 lines). What you actually do, and for whom.
Call to action (1 line). One next step: book a call, reply to a post, download a guide.

LinkedIn truncates the about preview at roughly 270 characters, so your hook has to work on its own (GROU LinkedIn profile guide). The full section allows up to 2,600 characters (AuthoredUp).

LinkedIn about section examples

1. Founder, B2B software

Mid-sized manufacturers lose hours every week reconciling production data by hand. I built [Company] to fix that.
Our platform connects machines, ERP and quality data so plant managers see problems before they cost a shift.
I spent 12 years in operations before founding [Company], so I build for the people on the floor.
If downtime is costing you more than it should, send me a message.

2. Agency founder

I help B2B companies in regulated industries book meetings with the right buyers, without spamming them.
My team runs LinkedIn content, outbound and lead generation as one system, so every channel supports the others.
We work with manufacturers, fintechs and professional services firms across Europe.
Want to see how it would work for you? Book a 20-minute call using the link above.

3. Account executive

I help HR leaders hire across Europe without setting up entities in every country.
At [Company], I work with people teams at 50 to 500-person companies who need to hire fast and stay compliant.
Most conversations start with one question: "What would it take to hire in Spain next month?"
Ask me that question. I'll give you a straight answer.

4. SDR

I talk to finance teams every day about one thing: closing the books faster.
At [Company], I connect controllers and CFOs with a platform that cuts month-end close from weeks to days.
If your close still runs on spreadsheets, I'd like to hear how you do it today.

5. Sales leader

I build outbound teams that hit their number in new markets.
Over the past decade I've launched sales teams in five countries, from first hire to a repeatable pipeline.
Today I lead sales EMEA at [Company], where we help manufacturers reduce energy costs.
I write here about hiring, coaching and pipeline. Follow along if that's your world.

6. Marketer

Most B2B content doesn't create pipeline. I focus on the content that does.
I run demand generation at [Company], turning LinkedIn, events and search into meetings for our sales team.
Before this, I built content programmes for logistics and industrial software companies.
I share what works, and what didn't, every week.

7. Consultant

I help B2B software companies raise prices without losing deals.
Most SaaS teams underprice because they've never tested it. I run pricing research and packaging work that gives leadership the confidence to change.
Clients have ranged from seed-stage startups to public companies.
If pricing is on your 2027 plan, let's talk before you set it.

8. Technical founder

Small platform teams shouldn't need a big budget to see what's breaking.
I'm the CTO and co-founder of [Company]. We build observability for teams of two to ten engineers.
Before this I spent eight years in site reliability, so I've been the person paged at 3am.
Happy to talk about monitoring, on-call and building developer tools.

A template you can fill in

LinkedIn about section template, four fill-in lines for hook, proof, how you help and call to action

I help [who you help] [solve what problem / reach what outcome].
[One line of proof: a result, years of experience or the type of clients you serve.]
[What you do and how, in one or two lines.]
[One call to action.]

Common mistakes

Starting with your job history. Your experience section already covers it.
Writing in third person. It reads like a press release.
Buzzwords. "Passionate, results-driven leader" tells buyers nothing.
Too many calls to action. Pick one.
No keywords. Use the terms your buyers search, such as your niche and the problems you solve.

Your about section works with your headline. See our LinkedIn headline examples and the LinkedIn personal branding checklist. If you'd like it done for you, our LinkedIn content team rebuilds founder profiles as part of every programme.

FAQ

How long should a LinkedIn about section be?

Long enough to cover a hook, proof, how you help and a call to action, usually 100 to 300 words. The limit is 2,600 characters, but only the opening shows before "see more".

What should the first line of a LinkedIn about section say?

Who you help and the problem you solve. That's what readers see before they decide to click "see more".

Should I write my LinkedIn about section in first or third person?

First person. It's more direct and reads like a conversation rather than a biography.

Should I include keywords in my about section?

Yes. Use the words your buyers search, such as your niche, their job titles and the problems you solve.

Should I add a call to action?

Yes, one. Book a call, send a message or follow for posts. More than one dilutes it.
