We put together this infographic to outline the influencers that I read each day for new social selling tips, tricks, and tactics. I encourage you to connect with all of them and stay up to date on their latest content!
Here it is:
It sounds like BS doesn’t it? All these so-called gurus going on about social media; they’re probably just looking to hawk their wares with scare tactics.All they do is talk about their “end of the world” predictions and they’re all out to bamboozle you. Right?
That’s precisely what I thought as well two years ago when I heard the term “social selling” for the first time.
So you think you’re doing yourself justice by posting an article on LinkedIn & Twitter each day.Do you think that’s above average? Do you think that your message will rise above the noise?
After listening to the Grant Cardone book “The 10X Rule”, I realized that even our social selling activity here at Sales for Life has HUGE amounts of potential left untapped.
While a sales person over the phone behaves one way, over e-mail they’re someone else entirely. The same goes for networking events and tradeshows/ conferences.
In short, their versatility senses kick in as they’re cognizant of the venue and the decorum that’s required. Or do they?
Sales people still haven’t figured out the formula for success with social media. There are a few challenges to consider.
“Working hard pays off” or “Work smart, not hard.” Which side of the coin are you on?It’s plain to see that sales professionals use content marketing every day to drive lead generation efforts.
However, the majority of us believe in working hard. And I mean really, really hard. Let’s call it the way it is, sales (and marketing) are the economic drivers of our economy. Without these critical components, nothing would happen.
One of the biggest challenges that sales professionals (and their marketing departments) face is FINDING CONTENT. It’s a nightmare for most sales professionals.Tell me if this sounds familiar to you. You’ve come across a great article or blog post and want to read it later or share it with your social networks, but you haven’t had the time. How can you build a repository of amazing content that you can share with your buyers?
If you ask sales leaders what matters most, they’ll likely tell you that it’s the numbers.Hitting targets, exceeding quota and overachieving budget are all examples of fancy terms that we’ve concocted.
We bring people into sales departments fresh out of college to teach them the basics and hope they’ll perform well with some hard work and a pinch of luck. But what happens when people start hitting it out of the park? Read on.
If you’re in the world of B2B sales, your LinkedIn Profile says a lot about you.
Friends, colleagues, alumni, current clients and future potential buyers are all checking you out and seeing what you’re about.
It’s therefore critical that your LinkedIn profile is up to snuff and represents you in a professional way.
Most sales reps don’t realize the power of sharing LinkedIn content.In the last week, I’ve shared just a few articles each day on LinkedIn. The total viewership has been almost 40,000 people with 100+ likes and dozens of comments.
Take a minute and just think about the influence that this can have on your potential buyers!
Do you like making lists? There are a lot of benefits to making lists when you feel unorganized. Let’s talk about making a list of all the things in life we know we should do but aren’t yet doing. Chances are that you’re not doing these things because your mind is not fully in it.The belief factor hasn’t hit you hard enough yet.
Social selling is no different. When it comes to social selling, it really is about 80% psychology and 20% mechanics.
