Social Selling Training Isn’t Just Useful, It’s Essential
Dan believes now is the time that everyone should be jumping into the world of social selling –“In my honest opinion I don’t think that there is anyone that shouldn’t be using social media”.
There is plenty of data on this too. Social Sellers are 51% more likely to hit their sales quota, they attract 45% more opportunities and outsell their non social selling counterparts by 78% according to LinkedIn.
Start More Conversations
The biggest misconception about social selling is that it’s all about liking, sharing and promoting other peoples content. This alone will have zero effect on you smashing your sales target right.
We’re living in the golden age of B2B selling because for the first time in history we can literally strike up a conversation with almost anyone.
This is why social selling is so powerful and Dan agrees – “The biggest thing that people just are not doing right now is just starting conversations”.
The goal here is to proactively start up conversations that are not cold.
When you cold call an individual, you’re interrupting them and you’re taking up their time before they’ve agreed to spend it with you. You’re pissing them off 9 times out of 10!
That is why I don’t share my mobile number with anyone that I’m not already doing business with. If I’m doing that, I’d bet that anyone with significant budget that you’re trying to sell to will be doing the same in the near future.
The beauty of social media is that our prospects are already out there, having public conversations and all we have to do is join in.
It’s an incredible time to work in sales IF you’ve had a little social selling training. This podcast episode will give you the 20% that will make the 80% of the difference in your game so watch that before you buy a digital selling course or invest in some nonsense social selling certification.
