Social selling does not mean selling on social media. It means building productive relationships through social media (in B2B, this is dominated by LinkedIn as the media of choice).
Over time, the objective is to generate business opportunities. To achieve this, it is necessary to define a good strategy on LinkedIn, both at the corporate level and at the individual level. This new scenario forces a change in the traditional sales model, and makes LinkedIn your best ally to take your relationship with customers and potential customers to another level. In this introductory training, we will take you through 3 fundamental skills you need to develop in your teams!
