Building Relationships Using Social Selling

How To Approach Prospects

It’s important to provide valuable insights and solutions to a potential buyer’s problem. Try to understand the situation from their perspective. If you can give helpful information to solve these problems, then it’s easy to establish yourself as a trusted advisor and build credibility. When dealing with a potential buyer, take your time. Social selling is not about making a quick sale. Becoming this trusted advisor figure can result in loyal and returning customers.

Strategies for Building Relationships with Prospective Buyers:

1.    Informative Content:  Content should be informative and relevant. Content should be a primary focus, since social selling revolves around content creation. Consistent, monthly blog posts, videos, and customer reviews are all great places to start. 

2.    Focused Content: Being a storyteller is very important when creating content. Create a story as if you were the potential buyer. What might they need, and what’s your solution? This is what instigates a relationship between your company and a potential buyer. 

3.    Engage with Your Audience: Social selling is all about building relationships, so make sure to engage with your audience regularly. Respond to comments, answer questions, and participate in relevant conversations to show that you value your followers.

4.    Measure Your Success: How can you tell good from bad content?  Use tools like Google Analytics and CRM systems to track the number of views, user behavior and engagement. 

5.    Dealing with Change: Change is inevitable, especially in industrial sales. Make sure that your salespeople have the appropriate training and support to help adapt to difficult and changing situations. 

6.    The Future of Social Selling: The future of social selling naturally involves new AI implemented systems such as chatbots. Don’t be afraid of using these trends. It’s important to keep up with them so you can enhance customer engagement.
