Tips for Making a Smooth Transition to Social Selling

By Matt Goldman

October 4, 2016

Last week, we published an article about the benefits of social selling, and why companies need to move past their reluctance to adopting the practice. Studies have shown that social selling can increase win rate, and revenue, yet there are still a significant number of companies that simply refuse to acknowledge the success of social selling. However what we didn’t talk about, are the specific and actionable steps that individuals can take to successfully craft an effective social selling campaign.

Simply knowing the benefits of this practice isn’t enough. If you were to dive in headfirst without careful planning, it’s likely, if not given, that your social selling campaign would fail immediately. You need to take time to identify the right channels, target the right users, and equip yourself with the right tools to succeed.

Fill your digital utility belt with the right social selling tools

After you’ve committed to the idea of social selling, it’s important to give yourself the tools to succeed with those users. You can’t just start tweeting or posting articles on LinkedIn and call it a day for social selling. You need to engage with people in your industry, and start becoming a recognizable authority. The first step to accomplishing that goal is to download the right prospecting tools.

For Twitter, PeerIndex, FollowerWonk, and ManageFlitter are great places to start narrowing down your target audience. Each service is similar in nature, and each allows you to search through Twitter profiles by keywords. If you’re looking to target CRM users, then create a list of different searches that would return that audience.

For LinkedIn, tools like Crystal, and Prospect Hive cover a range of prospecting features than can help you fine tune your outreach to individuals. With Crystal, you can perform a “personality test” on a user, which will help you “learn the best way to speak, work with, and engage the person” however you feel best. At its core, Prospect Hive is a fantastic prospecting tool that allows you to search LinkedIn profiles and get access to their email addresses. Neither of these tools will automatically create a lasting relationship between yourself and a prospect, but it will provide you with an avenue to reach the right people; the rest is up to you.

Kickstart your social selling by participating in Twitter chats and LinkedIn groups

While the tools above will be able to help you capture a vast majority of the prospects you want to reach, there will still be some people that you fail to connect with. Some accounts don’t have relevant bio information, and thus, wouldn’t come back in any searches for “CRM” or whatever demographic you want to target. They might have a significant number of conversations surrounding your specific topic, but without those keywords on their profile, they’re essentially invisible to you.

This is why something like a Twitter chat is so important. Take for example, Jordan Barta’s profile, who frequently begins conversations surrounding #SocialSelling, #ValueGiving, and contributes to the #SalesHackerChat every Tuesday. There are meaningful conversations happening in these global chats, and you can make real connections by participating in them.

The same is true for LinkedIn groups. If you’re interested in learning more about SaaS companies, you can join a professional network titled, Software as a Service – Group, which currently has over 90,000 members. Regardless of your specific interest, there will likely be a LinkedIn group for you, where you can meet, and interact with people from across the world, and develop business relationships in the process.

Emphasize relationship building

The biggest issue with the term social selling is that it’s slightly misleading. It sounds like you’re trying to make sales through social media. But as we know, it actually refers to “the process of researching, connecting, and interacting with prospects and customers on social media networks”.

You must keep that definition firmly planted in the back of your mind throughout social selling. It’s paramount that you don’t inundate your social connections with articles about your product, or demo’s about your service. There are no “hard closing tactic[s]” during this process. Social selling “isn’t for reps seeking quick wins or a silver bullet. Salespeople have to be willing to put in the time and effort to engage with their target buyers on an ongoing basis, and even then, there’s no guarantee that their efforts will pay off.”

How To Scale A Social Selling Program

By Danny Wong

December 17, 2016

As your B2B business enters a sustained growth phase, it presents you with incredible opportunities to use your resources to reach an expanded pool of customers. You’re in a better position to deliver your value proposition to buyers and decision makers who were previously outside of your circle of influence, and your sales efforts during this phase can lead you to exponential growth that can change the course of your entire organization.

Increasingly, businesses are investing more resources into social sales programs to engage their prospects in innovative ways. Attempting to scale a social selling strategy results in a delicate situation, seeing as how you need to increase efficiency in order to expand your reach, but you don’t want to lose the intimacy of the platform that makes social media so effective. By using the advanced tools provided to you and giving your reps what they need to confidently approach prospects via social media, you can ramp up your social selling program to meet the needs of your expanding customer base.

Adopt a scalable model that sets your sales reps up for success

If you want to see real success when attempting to scale your social selling program, then it all starts with training. Do not rely on sales reps attempting to make social connections “whenever they have time” or “after they have finished their real sales calls.” During your sales training procedures, firmly layout why social selling is such an important part of your strategy, and set clear goals for your salespeople in terms of their efforts (since nearly two-thirds of salespeople incorporating social selling techniques outperformed their peers, it shouldn’t be hard to convince them). This way, no matter how big your sales team grows your social sales connections will follow at an appropriate pace.

Employ automation measures strategically

Automation has created vast new possibilities for B2B marketers and sales managers, but it’s important to remember that just because you can do something doesn’t mean that you should. In their haste to imbue their social selling efforts with a quick shot of growth, many business leaders make the mistake of employing wholesale automation in order to reach the most people in the fastest way possible. Automation must always be used in service of connecting your audience with value-added information. If your prospects become accustomed to a barrage of posts from your accounts that offer little incentive to click, they’ll be far more likely to lose faith in your company’s expertise and unfollow.

The more specific your search queries are, the better quality leads they’ll produce

We'll tell you how to boost your sales with 21 awesome tips!

Scaling up your social sales is all about the quality of your leads. It seems counterintuitive, since you would think that more leads would be better when you’re trying to grow your business. In reality, revenue growth allows you to sell to an entirely new segment of customers, so it becomes more important than ever that you spend your time and money selling to the right ones. Platforms such as LinkedInand Twitter have developed new search tools that give sales professionals unprecedented ability to identify quality leads more efficiently.

Use the power of your growing network for referrals

As your customer base, and therefore your network increases its scope, your opportunities for referrals will be greater than ever. Use the power of your network’s connections to gain exposure to an even larger group of prospects. Ask your satisfied customers and followers if they would be willing to tag interested parties on social platforms who could benefit from your product. Most of them will be happy to do so, and you’ll gain the advantage of a built-in, warm lead.

Leverage a thought leadership position

LinkedIn isn’t only the most popular platform for B2B content marketers, but it plays an important role in the majority of buyers’ decisions as well. While it was once seen primarily as a haven for job seekers and networkers, the social site has emerged as a hub of knowledge sharing where everyone from sales reps to CEOs can establish their credentials as experts and thought leaders in a chosen subject. As your social selling program grows, most prospects will want to quickly check to see if your company has specific insights that can help make their job easier, and publishing high-quality content on LinkedIn is a proven strategy for demonstrating this expertise.

Guest Post: 25 One-Liner Tips for Live Chat Success

Guest Post: 25 One-Liner Tips for Live Chat Success 

More and more websites are turning to live chat software every day. This plugin comes with many advantages for both parties; website visitors who are looking for a product or service and business. However, it’s necessary to maintain your live chat properly because this investment can backfire. So, here are twenty-five tips on how to be successful with introducing this software to your online pages.

1. Provoke your customers.

Your chat bar needs to pop. When a visitor arrives on your website, you need to provoke them with a provocative chat window that opens automatically.

2. Provide a conversation transcript.

In order to help your visitors long-term, you should send them a transcript of your conversation via email.

3. Automatize greeting messages.

You should strive towards eradicating all mechanical parts from the job description of your support team. By introducing automatized greeting messages, your employees will be able to focus on assistance only.

4. Offer different areas of expertise.

When you train your employees to provide live chat assistance, you should narrow their area of expertise. That way, they will make fewer mistakes and be able to give professional tips which are to the point.

5. Direct your visitors.

When you provide an initial survey before the conversation even starts, you will save more of your time and your visitors’ time as well. They can simply select which type of professional assistance they are in need of.

6. Typing…

In order to make live chats engaging, you should add the “typing…” notification to your chat bar and thus show your visitors that they will be given assistance shortly.

7. Train your support agents.

Although live chat support doesn’t seem like a difficult job, it actually is. Your support team needs to be highly qualified to satisfy your audience which is why they require training.

8. Agent switch.

When your support agent receives a question that’s out of their area of expertise, they need to be able to transfer a potential customer to a different agent within seconds.

9. High-quality response rate.

When you introduce live chat software to your website, your team needs to be capable of responding to new messages within ten seconds. If you fail to do this, your target audience will go right to your competition.

10. Archive your conversations.

A live support chat isn’t useful to customers only. A conversation held via live chat is first-hand information that comes directly from your customers, which you should definitely archive.

11. Implement chat buttons to your email.

Once you introduce live chat to your website, you should direct your circle of customers to it – adding a link button to your email is an efficient way to do so.

12. Combine customer relationship management with live chat.

The whole point of live chat is in personalizing online experiences; in order to do it properly, you will need CRM on your side.

13. Analyze your archives.

The information you gather thanks to living chat software should be used to improve the quality of your products or services.

14. Personalize your live chat.

Greeting a visitor with an automatized message is effective, but a good day message containing their name as well is definitely more effective.

15. Offer advanced product or service options.

Other than providing assistance, your support team should also have up selling in mind and advise your visitors to get a better version of a product they’re in need of.

16. Include cross-selling.

Apart from offering a better product, your agents should also offer products or services that go along with a particular item a potential customer is interested in.

17. Position your live chat bar.

Your live chat bar needs to be visible and easily accessible.

18. Give your visitors an option to express their chat related satisfaction.

After a conversation, you should provide your visitors with an option to fill out a survey so that they can express their level of their satisfaction.

19. Provide your visitors with different options to get in touch with you.

Different kinds of customers prefer different communication channels, so your live chat should contain all of them – voice, video, and regular chat.

20. Keep track of your performance.

A live chat software needs to increase conversions – you should keep constant track of the changes that occur after you introduce it to your website.

21. Update your FAQ page by using the chat as a knowledge source.

Thanks to your chat conversation archives, you’ll be able to clearly see what your website is missing and you can update your FAQ page based on the repetitive questions you receive.

22. Monitor your employees.

Maintaining live chat is a lot more than IT support. Monitoring your employees will show you what kind of mistakes they are making and where there’s room for improvements.

23. Be available 24/7.

Although this task does require an additional workforce, providing your visitors with support throughout the day and during weekends as well is definitely a smart investment.

24. Represent your brand.

The chat bar needs to fit your website, so make sure it’s colored with the shades of your brand so it doesn’t look like a patch on your pages, but like an extension.

25. Provide genuine assistance.

The point of live chats from a business perspective is to increase sales, but that should not be your primary goal. Being assertive and providing genuine assistance to your visitors will be wildly appreciated.

Following these guidelines will enable you to have a support agent team that’s highly capable, make your visitors very satisfied with your service and improve your website based on the feedback you receive. Making this investment and using live chat to its maximum potential definitely, has a long-term payoff.
