- 31 Dec, 2018
With the emergence of the social media and their prominence, finding business solutions etc. have found new ways. They are not that simple like yesteryears. Finding a business solution a century ago was simple — you would have asked around, gathered recommendations and then would have taken a decision. I have to make a lot of posts online in order to get them noticed or get any solution. But it was a different scenario previously. But of course there are certainly tips that can help you in developing your social selling strategies.
Consolidating relationships on social platform is not being in the crowd, rather develop one-to-one relationship. The overcrowding can actually spoil everything. Social selling is not about broadcasting useful information to many people at one time; rather it is to reach out to many people to have something informed.

Right location is important –
You can’t spend time anywhere and everywhere. If I am here to look for some real estate property, I won’t be going around a shopping mall! Similarly, you have to first find out the suitable location that will help you reach your goal.
Engage into more conversation –
Social selling is all about utilizing the best in the online space. This means, more interaction and involvement is expected on your part. I write blogs to let others know my space and my website is the medium of interaction. Similarly, your active participation is a very important part of social selling; otherwise, people will not pay heed to your sayings.
Right content is a winner –
If I am writing a piece of work that no longer interests people or it is something out of context, don’t even expect that people would notice them. Appropriate content is where marketing plays a critical role. Include case studies and put your knowledge to enhance the importance.
Look for mutual connections –
Developing warm bond is a necessity, rather a compulsion in order to have your social selling skills developed. As per statistics, 62% of the people fail miserably in meeting their goals because of poor connections. Get your acquaintances know about your whereabouts. Then you can reach out to wider range to provide something valuable.
Call to action is fruitful –
You should answer people very wisely. If anyone asks about your product or the information you are updating, don’t ask him to visit your website to learn more about the concerned product or know the solution, rather provide a thought provoking response that would also include your website link.
Follow up your actions –
You upload or update any information and just leave it like that for weeks or months – you can just expect for the worst. So just make a plan to follow up regularly with those prospects of your posts and also with whom you have started a conversation. Don’t leave anything midway.
Selling with greater impact is the smartest action anyone can ever make. This is the prime factor of any social selling strategy. I have given some of the best and proven solutions that I have followed myself. Give them a try to find out their effectiveness.
