but what is Social Selling?
Social selling is the art of using social media to find, connect with, understand, and nurture potential “customers”, in other words, prospects. It’s the modern way to develop meaningful relationships with potential customers so you’re the first person a prospect thinks of when they’re ready to buy.
For many, social selling replaced the dreaded practice of cold calling. If you have a Facebook profile, LinkedIn profile, or Twitter account, you’re already engaged in the basics of social selling—even if you’ve never actually used the term to describe your online activities, or thought all that much about exactly what social selling really means.
Perhaps equally important to explaining what social selling means is to explain what social selling is not. It’s certainly not about bombarding strangers with unsolicited private messages. There’s a name for that: spam. And you shouldn’t do it.
Social selling is not just about gaining access to contacts; it’s more about building relationships and listening for the right moment to join the conversation so you can present yourself as a solution to a problem. The aim is to address a pressing need to make your prospect’s life easier rather than becoming just another online irritant to ignore.
Why you should care about Social Selling?
3 reasons why you should care about social selling
You’ll read a lot of statistics as we look at why you should care about social selling. But really, there’s one big 800-pound gorilla for a reason to care: social selling works. Period.
Indeed, 78% of professionals engaged in social selling are outselling their peers who are not.
If you have not embraced social selling, your opportunities are quite simply not what they could be. Here are three key reasons why.
1. Social selling lets you build real relationships
Using social tools to listen in on conversations relevant to your industry—known as social listening—allows you to identify new leads that are already talking about your business, your competitors, or your industry, so you can reach out to them slowly with useful information when the time is right
.
With prospects socially sharing so much information about their needs, wants, and pain points on their public profiles, even your first point of contact can be personalized, relevant, and helpful, rather than intrusive and cold.
Better yet, building a strong network through various social media channels allows you to seek out introductions to new prospects through existing mutual connections, creating an immediate sense of trust and rapport.
2. Your network is already engaged in social buying
What’s social buying? Flip the concept of social selling on its head. Just as professionals can use social listening and other social research strategies to find potential clients, those potential clients are already using social listening and social search to find potential vendors, research them online, and develop an opinion about which vendor is the best fit, all before making the first contact with them.
If you’re not actively engaged in social selling, you’re not showing up in that social purchase research: that’s a lot of missed potential.
3. Your top competitors are already using social selling
A whopping 71% of all professionals —and 90% of the top ones— are already using social selling tools. Among younger professionals, the numbers are even higher, with 78% of all millennial professionals using social selling tools and 63% saying those tools are critical or extremely critical to their performance. If you’re not allowing yourself to use social tools and equipping yourself to do so, it will be more challenging for you to succeed.
