Who says that social selling is only for SMB and enterprise organizations?
They must be sorely mistaken because Chris Poole of Spot Check Services is proving that urban legend wrong!
Chris handles a vast territory for his company: the entire Eastern Canada region. He knows that his buyers aren’t just waiting by the telephones waiting for vendors to call them. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Chris figured out quickly that buyers are heading online and to social media to discover and research.
Watch the video where Chris describes using creative searching to find opportunities where none existed before. Not only is he having conversations online, he’s converting these into real sales opportunities for his pipeline.

Still on the Fence About Social Selling?
If you’re still on the fence about social selling, you need to get off. Either way you’re wasting time. The worst part is that you’re wasting YOUR time. Time is the only resource you won’t ever get back, so you need to make a decision either way.
Chris’ Story is Compelling
There’s a term we’ve been using in sales for a long time. It’s called low hanging fruit. If you believe there is such a thing, then Chris’s story is even more compelling. Instead of cold, hard pitching people who don’t know him, Chris used social media to find people that do know him or would find his story compelling.
All that energy of landing a client has to account for something, right? Well, why not use that as currency to fuel further customer acquisition?
