Social Selling:What EveryoneNeeds To Know

Let’s take a trip down memory

lane…

Today....How we sell is through relationships

That hasn’t changed!

In fact, 98% of sales professionals agree

that relationships are the most important

aspect of sales.

So what’s changed…?

Everything.

15 Years Ago…Most sales

relationships started with a cold call.

Today… Most sales

relationships start with a prospect using

Google.

15 Years Ago… Golf trips, fancy

dinners and events were how we nurtured

relationships.

Today… We strengthen relationships by sharing

quality content and delivering value to their

inbox.

But most sales people

don’t get it…

55% of them believe that social media has no impact on sales…

66% of them believe their companies are moving

slower than their industries…

And 40% of them probably believe Elvis is still alive.

Ok…that might be a stretch

but….

It’s time for a social selling wake up call.

Social Selling is on the rise
