Lead with Purpose

How To Sell Through Social Media


Listen Later

On this episode of the Lead With Purpose podcast host, Tze Ching Yeung, talks about dating… well, selling through social media, which is a pretty similar journey to go through. We meet someone, we ask for the contact details, we build trust, nurture the relationship, and eventually get to the point where we get married (accepting the proposal).

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • It doesn’t matter how long the sales journey is, you have to go through the same steps with your customer for a successful sale: You need to be authentic, a good listener, engage in conversations (these can be fun), be consistent – show up and be there when you say you’re going to be there. This goes for emails, social media, your business’ messaging.
  • Don’t be too pushy. If you try to sell to someone too soon, that will make them want to run. Make sure you nurture that relationship by building trust, engaging and connecting with them and then sell to them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You wouldn’t say “hey, do you want to get married to me?” the first time you meet someone, it’s the same with sales, don’t ask people about sales straight away, build a relationship first.’
‘Always think about how you can connect with your prospect. What kind of content do they want to find out about and how can you help them? Do talk about “me, me, me” all the time.’
