Your Guide to Social Selling – an #SMWF training course

 

The buyer has never been more informed than they are today. This has put sellers on the back foot with many struggling to find ways to engage with buyers. Sellers can no longer rely on cold calling and cold emarketing as cold outreach doesn’t work on customers who are time-poor and rely on social networks to get the latest information they need.

Buyers want to cultivate the latest thinking and knowledge before making business decisions – their behaviours have changed and therefore sellers need to change their behaviours too.

Focusing on the challenges and issues facing B2B sales and marketing – Join us for a one day course with experienced social seller, Zoe Sands, on 19th November 2015 in central London.

 

How does one get close to the buyer?

Sellers need to adopt new approaches and utilise the online channels; social networks and social media to build awareness, engagement, connections and trust and leverage their business relationships. Without this, online interaction sellers will find it increasingly difficult to sell.

Who is responsible for social selling?

This is most definitely a team effort between sales and marketing working through the buying funnel together. Those businesses effectively connecting sales and marketing to create new business and retain existing customers will become leaders their markets.
