Prospecting 2.0: How to Use Social
Media to Grow Sales
For CEOs, Presidents, Senior Managers, and Sales Professionals
An overwhelming 95% of salespeople surveyed tell us they can sell, they just need to get in front of more prospects. That’s why the best prospectors often close more business than expert closers.
Please join us as sales expert Scot Teachout of Sandler Training/Peak Performance offers tools for leveraging your existing networks through social media to prompt sales opportunities.
Use social media to take control of your sales pipeline:
* Why traditional sales tactics do not work in today’s environment.
* Why you only win competitive business by competing on price.
* How to avoid falling victim to unpaid consulting.
* Networking strategies to connect with like-minded individuals.
* How To use social media to involve your customers and prospects
in ongoing meaningful interactions.
* How to use existing social networks to reach new audiences in
the exact way they choose to communicate.
* How to be seen as a thought leader in your industry.
Scott encourages open dialog, attendant participation and idea
sharing, thus the size of the group is limited.
