How much time do you spend researching, targeting, and engaging with prospects on social media? You should know this number right off the bat. Why? Because the process of “social selling” should be built into your lead generation process. It should happen like clockwork.
What is social selling? Social selling is an approach to selling that allows salespeople to laser-target their prospecting and establish rapport through existing connections via online social media platforms.
You need to be strategic and disciplined with your time on social media. Your major social media channel will most likely be LinkedIn, however Twitter and Facebook should not be overlooked. Don’t just like prospects’ posts; make thoughtful comments. Give your prospect online the same interest you would show them at a trade show. Socializing on social should not be random. Use all the research and targeting tools. If you make yourself a master - the results will pay off.
