The Art of the Help with Larry Levine #182

In this episode we start by discussing the confusion of social selling. The root issue is not so much how to twiddle the knobs and bells of LinkedIn Facebook and Twitter. The true issue is the failure of sales professionals understanding WHY they have chosen the profession of sales Then secondly we talk about the Art of the Help for success. Larry Levine is a social selling expert, podcast host and long time B2B sales expert.

Social Selling is NOT New

Not a new thing, back in the day it was all analog but still the same thing. Connecting with people and relationship building. Just like we used to do with handshakes and phone calls. You do the same thing on social media. It's the art of the help, not the deal.
