DESCRIPTION
Sales and marketing approaches have been flipped upside down with the explosion of social media. What worked 3 years ago, doesn’t work now. Social media has brought with it a profound global shift in communications that favors relationships over contacts, eliminates cold calling, and puts the buyer in control of the sales process. Capitalize on some simple, but practical “how to” ideas for engaging buyers and customers in a digital economy. During this session we will discuss: • Why bother? A look at the numbers • Evolution of sales and how social media applies • Benefits of social selling • Creating value in advance of the sales opportunity • What executives want you to know • Building loyalty and retention • How to use social media for lead generation • Lead generation from current networksTRANSCRIPT

Social Selling University is not like social media courses which are typically designed for marketing departments. Social selling is a series of content that
is being developed around how social media can be used to identify new opportunities and engage customers/prospects in social networks they spend the most time in. LinkedIn, Twitter, blogs and other social networks are filled with people asking for advice on products and looking to engage with friends,
peers and experts to make intelligent buying decisions. This is where the opportunities are being created and sales people need to be part of those
conversations.###
Social Selling University is brought to you by InsideView a Sales 2.0 leader, bringing intelligence gained from social media and traditional editorial sources
to the enterprise to increase sales productivity and velocity. We were founded in 2005 by pioneers of the SaaS, CRM and Content industries to
take advantage of the convergence of social media and enterprise applications.
