Sales Training Seminar: Making Social Media Work For Sales


A sales person lured by the Siren Song of social media can wander in only to wake up to a pink slip. This new communication channel is ripe with opportunity, but it is more likely to waste your time than turn you a lead--if you do it wrong.


My hope is that I can guide to clear of the snake oil and fatal missteps.


What is Social Media for Sales?


The first step is to correctly shape your perception of what social media should be to you.
I like to think of social media as a blend between a contact database and a CRM system. If used correctly it will feed you a steady stream of news and updates that are important to your prospects.


Most social media tools immediately ask you to load in your contacts (i.e., from Outlook, Gmail, or other email address book). This gives you a head start on find who in your sales database or sales prospect list is already actively participating in social media.


I guarantee you will be surprised.


How to Scout Sales Opportunity


With a steady stream of user generated content coming from your contacts your next challenge will be managing the noise.


Fortunately, most of these tools have robust search tools. I highly recommend you use the search to pinpoint opportunities for sales. Scanning through the clutter is a good idea just to gauge and understand prevailing trends, but don't get sucked in--scan only!


You can also set-up alerts within the social tools or via Google Alerts to send you email notifications of things you are interested in. Again, the objective is to harvest the good stuff and steer clear of the overall clutter as much as possible.


Look for Chance to Help Prospects First


Once you have your contacts loaded a few minutes a day reviewing LinkedIn, FaceBook, and Twitter will give you more than enough inspiration and opportunity for calling on these folks. Taking it to an advanced level you can use the tool itself to engage and interact with these folks--commenting and promoting their own agendas and credibility in the social media channel.


Very possibly you will see opportunities to help these sales prospects advance their own objectives. Can you introduce them to people they want to meet? Can you help them with advice or expertise before you even discuss a sale? Can you help increase their standing or credibility in their industry or peer group?


One of the biggest advantages of putting social networking into your sales toolbox is that it gives you a great opportunity to learn more about your sales prospects and maybe even warm up a cold call, or two.
