Course Overview
Sales through social media channels has become a phenomenally effective way of identifying viable prospects, building and nurturing closer relationships, and ultimately, achieving commercial goals.
In nearly all industry sectors today, well over half of all revenue is directly influenced by connections and relationships developed through social platforms. Yet, many organisations have no formalised approach to social selling, nor do they provide enough support to sales and marketing teams who wish to unlock these fresh revenue opportunities.
This social selling training course will help you explore how sales with social media can boost your organisation’s sales results, and arm you with the knowledge needed to improve your approach to this essential discipline. We’ll take you through a simple four-stage process to build your social selling plan, giving you the fresh ideas and skills you need to implement improvements immediately after the workshop.
Your one-day interactive workshop will be hosted by Future of Marketing expert and former Microsoft marketer, Allister Frost, who will share the latest insights into what it takes to sell effectively through online channels and achieve the commercial results your company deserves.
