FAQ

Social Selling Course FAQ’s

What is social selling?

Simply put: it is the process of utilising social media channels to increase your sales by building and establishing relationships with potential prospects. This is a great way to not only close more business but to enhance your business’s visibility on social media channels.

Remember: social selling isn’t spamming people with constant messages on Linkedin. Instead, your team will learn to utilise relationship-building tactics and tools that help create meaningful connections with potential prospects. Our training can help you develop an effective strategy that meets the needs of your team, captures qualified leads, and builds relationships that last rather than having to make 100 cold calls each day to drum up business

How do you train your team to social sell?

For starters, consider enrolling your employees in a training course. Our courses provide you with the opportunity to train your team through an in-house workshop, a live webinar, or a blended approach. Through these training sessions, your team will learn how to make their profile stand out, build their network, and learn how to effectively prospect using LinkedIn.

Enrolling your team in a training session can provide your team members with the essentials needed to feel confident and maximise their prospecting efforts on social media channels.

Our training is designed to help your marketing team, sales team, and sales professionals generate new business, create new connections, and learn how to effectively use LinkedIn tools to network. Your marketing team can use this tool and technique to enhance your social media presence and your sales team can use it to help discover qualified leads and build their network.

Each of your sales professionals or marketing team members will receive a CPD certificate after they complete the training programme. The alternative to this workshop is a Telesales Training Course where sales teams will receive training on how to make cold calls.

Why do I need to train my team for social selling?

Training your team to effectively utilise social media marketing tools can help them confidently create authentic relationships with potential prospects. This is a great opportunity to teach your sales team the value of networking and how to properly use contacts to build contacts. It is also a great resource for your marketing team to learn how to market your services, establish a voice for your brand, and learn how to use tools to enhance your business’s credibility and visibility on social media channels.

What is a social selling strategy?

It is the prospecting plan you create to reach an obtainable goal. This type of strategy is created through a combination of the basics of prospecting and the unique actions you choose to put in place following the training session.

Before building your strategy consider this: what are you going to do more of, less of, start doing, and stop doing? What is currently working and what is not? A strong strategy for your business is created over time. Don’t be afraid of trial and error. At the end of every quarter, consider meeting with your team to revise your strategy and discuss what is and isn’t working. Our trainings can help you optimmise your strategy and give you the tools needed to see the results you want.

How do I start social selling and what are the benefits?

To start, you will need to optimise your Linkedin business profile and make sure a social selling strategy is set in place for your business and team. Once your team is trained and has the tools and techniques needed for success, you will want to make sure your team has a clear understanding of the objectives, the capabilities of the social media channels, and is ready to start utilising social media to get qualified leads.

One of the major benefits of this type of training is that you are providing your team with the tools needed for success. This is a training that will help maximise your visibility, build your audience, and help your sales professionals reach more prospects.

Enrolling your sales team or marketing team in a training session you can trust ensures that they are set up for success and have the confidence to start using LinkedIn tools to uncover new opportunities that will help them grow. After the training, your team will leave with an arsenal of up-to-date techniques and strategies they can start implementing today.
