The Sales Leader’s Checklist: Coach Your Team To Social Selling Success

600x454_Competitive_Advantage_sales_leader

People used to say, “it’s not personal, it’s business.” But consumer technology has changed all that. Amazon knows when we’re running out of shampoo and prompts us to buy more. Google sees that we’re flying to Boston tomorrow and suggests a few restaurants we’d love. Netflix has a knack for spotting shows that we’ll binge-watch long past our bedtime.

Why do we love to do business with these companies? They know what we like and how to deliver it: they’ve connected with us. Never mind that these “connections” are the results of massive datasets and algorithms—the experience feels personal, and that’s what counts.

Sales reps need to get take on a similarly personalized approach via social selling—or they risk getting left behind by the competition. As a sales leader, it’s your job to coach your team to have personalized, productive conversations with prospects.

With social networks like LinkedIn, you already have the tools and rich information to foster the personalized sales experience your buyers expect—now you just need to get your team on board to unlock their true social selling potential.
