Description
"90% of decision makers never reply to cold outreach" - Harvard Business Review
On the other hand, social networks like LinkedIn can make reaching C-Level executives easier than it's ever been.
"75% of B2B buyers use Social Media to research vendors" - IDC
So, the questions that forward-thinking Sales and Marketing leaders are asking themselves are:
"How well do our salespeople use social networks for selling?"
"What can our company do to increase revenue via these new social selling methods?"
Hear Social Selling expert Kurt Shaver answer these questions as he shares knowledge gained from training companies like Hewlett Packard, Ericsson, CenturyLink, Maritz, and Marsh & McLennan.
