Carson V. Heady engagement report
@cvheady007 - 239K followers on X
Measured over 12 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 28, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 4 interactions against 239K followers, an engagement rate of 0.002%. Measured over 12 original posts, its engagement rate beats 8% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 927 times each, and 0.378% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.388% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 12 posts sampled, 50% carry an image or video and 50% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 19 interactions, about 4.8x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Carson V. Heady's engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 21% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.002%, Carson V. Heady sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,475 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 50% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 50% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 50% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 50% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 1162 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Your career is no longer a ladder, and waiting patiently for the next rung may be the most dangerous strategy of all. I learned this the hard way. I’ve been laid off, passed over, reassigned and rejected by 3,058 employers and more than 900 publishers. My career never resembled a ladder. It looked more like a pinball machine. But every detour prepared me for something I couldn’t see yet: The call center taught me to listen. Retail taught me to create experiences. Enterprise sales taught me to build coalitions. Leadership taught me to create heroes. Rejection taught me to stop waiting for permission. And relationships repeatedly opened doors no career plan could have predicted. As I wrote in The Show Must Go On, every role I’ve ever landed came through relationships, reputation or both—but mostly relationships. Here’s how to futureproof and bulletproof your career: 🧭 Build a career thesis, not a rigid five-year plan. 🧠 Develop valuable skills beyond your current job description. 🤝 Invest in relationships long before you need anything. 📣 Teach, write and share what you learn so your expertise becomes visible. 📊 Quantify your impact and maintain a career highlight reel. 🪪 Build a walking deck that shows who you are, what you’ve done and what becomes possible when you enter the room. 🚪 Say yes to stretch projects that expand your skills, visibility and relationships. 🛡️ Build a reputation that can travel when your title, manager or company changes. Titles expire. Organizations restructure. Strategies change. But your skills, relationships, results, reputation and story belong to you. Stop waiting to be chosen for the next rung. Build enough value, visibility and relationships to create choices no ladder could ever offer you. What are you building today that no reorganization can take away from you? Do you have a Career Walking Deck that showcases your experiences, results and what people say about you? You need one. I modeled mine after my mentors'. Feel free to leverage however you see fit: https://t.co/31nspXUatH For my entire autobiography and playbook, The Show Must Go On is on Kindle Unlimited, in paperback and on Audible: Kindle Unlimited: https://t.co/31nspXUatH Paperback: https://t.co/ZpljofMqEj Audible: https://t.co/Duxmn4BiGm All royalties go to The Michael J.

What is your favorite sales movie? Mine is The Color of Money. I went through a stretch in 2001-2002 after moving to my first apartment and getting my first sales job where I watched this film every night. Fast Eddie sells whiskey by knowing the bartender, the product, and the story behind the bottle. Vincent sells toys by connecting with parents and their kids. Both are salesmen before they ever hit the road together. Then Vincent wins so spectacularly that he scares off everyone else willing to play. He takes the match and loses the room. Eddie tells him, “You’ve gotta be a student of human moves.” I’ve loved that line for years. And "For some players, luck itself is an art." Eddie sees Vincent’s potential, then tries to make the young man an answer to his own unfinished story. I once recruited an exceptional waiter into sales because his attentiveness blew me away. He made good money, but eventually learned that the high-pressure job wasn’t for him. I’ve thought about that experience often as a leader. Here’s what I take from the movie today: 🎱 Create your luck. Study the odds, prepare, and control the controllables. 👀 Study people. Understand their business and what matters to them. 🤝 Protect the room. One flashy win can cost years of future opportunity. 🧭 Coach the person in front of you. Their ambition doesn’t have to look like yours. 🔥 Start again when you need to. Eddie gets glasses, relearns the fundamentals, takes his losses, and returns to the table. He spends much of the film chasing the feeling that “money won is twice as sweet as money earned.” But the line that stays with me comes at the end: “I’m back.” It didn't matter to Eddie if he won or lost, because he would just pick himself back up and keep going again and again and again. As long as there was a next game. And there always is. What movie belongs above The Color of Money on a salesperson’s watchlist—and which scene makes your case?

The top 10 decisions of my career: 1️⃣ I made relationships my primary business strategy. I stopped treating networking as something you do only when you need a job or favor. I built relationships before opportunities existed and consistently tried to add value without demanding an immediate return. 2️⃣ I stopped waiting for demand and learned to manufacture it. I decided that my results would not be dictated by my territory, marketing leads, account assignments, or inherited pipeline. I built databases, campaigns, newsletters, webinars, partner motions, prospecting routines, and executive-engagement programs capable of reaching tens of thousands of customers and creating hundreds of opportunities. 3️⃣ I said yes to opportunities when people recruited me. This led me to Microsoft and to new organizations following great leaders who took care of me. 4️⃣ I decided to go where the decisions were made. I stopped allowing one reluctant contact, gatekeeper, or organizational boundary to define the size of an opportunity and went to CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, board members, and business leaders. That approach sometimes created uncomfortable conversations—but it also helped produce transformational wins worth tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. 5️⃣ I chose to become a leader who made other people the heroes. I learned that leadership is not proving I can carry more than everyone else. It is creating the conditions for other people to win. 6️⃣ I turned selling into a probability game. I stopped judging my process by emotion, anecdotes, or isolated outcomes. I studied the signals, measured what worked, and focused on the variables I could control: message quality, targeting, activity, consistency, follow-up, relationships, and value. 7️⃣ I wrote my first book before anyone gave me permission to be an author. The books created relationships, interviews, podcasts, speaking opportunities, credibility, and an identity larger than any job title or employer. 8️⃣ I decided to remain a student—especially after I became successful. Performance plans, rejections, lost jobs, lost deals, changing technology, and bad managers repeatedly drove me back into the laboratory. I studied sales, psychology, leadership, data, social media, AI, executive communication, and change management. When the game changed, I changed with it. 9️⃣ I refused to sacrifice my integrity to win faster. I saw people manipulate numbers, play politics, take undeserved credit, and pursue shortcuts. Sometimes they were rewarded. But I decided that my career would be judged as a body of work—not by one month, one bonus, one title, or one manager’s opinion. 🔟 I stopped drinking and stopped building success around adrenaline. What are yours?

Your greatest opponent isn’t across the net—it’s the voice in your head interrupting what you already know how to do. My friend and colleague Scott Kildebeck recommended The Inner Game of Tennis. I’ve played sporadically over the years, and reading it made me miss the townhouse where Amy and I used to play together. But this book isn’t really about tennis. It’s about mastering the game inside your head: 🧠 Recognize that many habits are statements about your past—not prescriptions for your future. 🔇 Quiet “Self 1”—the anxious inner critic that judges, overthinks and interferes. 🎯 Trust “Self 2”—the instinctive part of you that knows how to execute when you stop getting in its way. 🧘 Stay present. Focus on what you can observe, influence and control. 🏆 Pursue mastery, not merely victory. The best execution creates the highest probability of the outcome you want. Less judgment. More awareness. Less forcing. More trust. That’s how we find the zone—in tennis, leadership and life. Highly recommended.

AI will not replace great salespeople—but salespeople who build a Human-AI operating system will make success far more predictable than those still selling on instinct alone. Mastering Modern Selling is back. Register NOW: https://t.co/vPtxCQBztF After a hiatus, Tom Burton and I are returning because virtually everything around selling has changed—and the best practices for this new era are finally emerging. On Wednesday, September 30, at 12:00 PM Central, more than 500 outstanding salespeople and leaders will join us to compare notes, challenge assumptions and share what is actually working. You can join these rock stars here: https://t.co/vPtxCQBztF I’ll unpack how I’ve translated the principles from Moneyball Sales into a practical operating system that helped my team reach 120% of goal—with every seller achieving quota in each of the past two years despite extraordinary organizational headwinds. My best advice for mastering modern selling today: 📊 Start with the math. Reverse-engineer the goal into the conversations, opportunities and daily actions required. 🎯 Control the controllables. Own your preparation, activity, attitude, follow-through and next move. 🧠 Make AI your coach. Use it to research, prioritize, rehearse, pressure-test and learn—not outsource your judgment. 📡 Follow signals, not noise. Invest time where timing, relevance, relationships and buyer behavior suggest the greatest probability of movement. 🤝 Protect the human edge. Trust, curiosity, courage, empathy and authenticity still determine whether the buyer believes you. 🔁 Inspect and adapt. Your operating system should learn from every conversation, campaign, win and loss. AI can accelerate your preparation. It cannot care about your customer. That part is still your job. Click “Attend,” bring your toughest modern-selling question and join Tom and me live. https://t.co/vPtxCQBztF We’re also accepting ideas—and volunteers—for future guests and episodes.

On day 2 of a new job, I sent a LinkedIn message that led to a 9-figure deal—but 2 years, 7 executive changes and one collapsed deal taught me what AI still can’t close. https://t.co/SHplfyn6qc

Your buyer may want the outcome, but they’re the one who has to defend the decision if it goes wrong. The data explains why deals stall even when buyers see the value. Gartner found that 67% of B2B buyers prefer a sales rep-free experience. Yet 69% want to validate AI-generated insights with a sales rep. They want room to evaluate—and a human being who can help them make a sound decision. Gartner also found unhealthy conflict in 68% of tech buying teams. Where that conflict exists, project delays are three times more common. I’ve lived the work behind those numbers. At a (now) very strategic healthcare partnership who was headed to the competition, where I connected with 200+ executives on LinkedIn and we landed a 9-figure deal in 2 years, we survived 7 C-level changes and shifting priorities because we built relationships across the organization. We earned a groundswell of influence and trusted advisor status. At a siloed commercial org with a new C-level I saw on Sales Navigator, I earned such a great relationship I was asked to close a stalled deal long after I stopped supporting the customer. It took 45 minutes. Because of trust and transparency and caring about what was a win to them. At a large logistics company, I fought to earn an executive meeting—and heard “no” in front of everyone. I kept working the relationships and the decision. Here are five things you can do TODAY to make your customer’s next step easier: 📩 Make the meeting worth the risk of their time. Name the problem you’ll help them examine, who should be there and what they’ll leave knowing. Ask for a conversation, not a commitment disguised as one. 👂 Find out what they would have to defend. Ask: “If we pursued this and it went wrong, what would the concern be?” Budget? Disruption? Security? Reputation? Now you know which risk to address. 🧪 Create a small proof point. Agree on one use case, a measurable outcome, the resources required and a point where they can stop. Give your buyer evidence they can share internally. 🏛️ Build confidence in every room. Learn what IT, finance, business leaders and end users each need. Help them find common ground. A champion can open a door; a groundswell can carry a decision. 🤝 Be there when the decision gets hard. Bring the right resources. Tell the truth about tradeoffs. Follow through after the meeting and after the signature. That is how you earn the right to be called a trusted advisor. The question is bigger than “How do I close this deal?” It’s “Have I helped these people make a decision they can believe in—and stand behind?” What have you seen a seller do that made a difficult decision feel safer?

- What is Carson V. Heady's engagement rate on X?
- Carson V. Heady (@cvheady007) has an engagement rate of 0.002%, based on the median interactions across 12 original posts from the last 30 days against 238,650 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.002%, Carson V. Heady sits below the 10th percentile of the 205,475 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @cvheady007 have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @cvheady007 post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.37 posts per day across the measured window.
