Social Selling Lessons | Online Training

Learn about:

Social selling is about more than just jumping on a social media platform and shouting about your latest products. Digital is impacting every aspect of the buyer journey, and your selling approach needs to complement these changes - providing answers where your prospects are asking questions. A considered social selling strategy takes into account who your audience is, which platforms they use, which content they engage with and how all of this can be used to build a long-term relationship with contacts.

By the end of these lessons you will understand:

The value of a social strategy - both for individuals and for the business
The best practices associated with reaching and engaging your target audience
The impact that different formats and styles of post can have on the message you put across
