SAP Game Changers Panel - June 22, 2016
The buzz: “Trust, but verify.” (Ronald Reagan) Social Selling is real - now! How do we know? The numbers. Sales people not using social media missed quota 15% more often than peers who do (Hubspot). Directors with SSI > 70 were promoted 1.6X faster to VP than those with SSI <30 in the past two years (LinkedIn profile data). Sounds great, but you may still need to convince your entire sales organization to internalize and adopt a new selling and engagement strategy. How? The right training and follow-up programs.
The experts speak. Barbara Giamanco, Social Centered Selling: “Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory, tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat” (Sun Tsu).
Mario M. Martinez Jr., M3Jr Growth Strategies: “What got you here, won’t get you there” (Marshall Goldsmith).
Kirsten Boileau, SAP: “Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge” (Plato). Join us for Social Selling Adoption: How to Make It Happen – Part 2.
SAP Social Selling Game Changers Panel
The buzz: Stuck. It’s Oct. 27. If you’re 1/3 through your 4th quarter, we bet your Sales team is putting the pedal to the metal to drive year-end success. But if they use traditional pipeline-accelerating strategies, deals could be getting stuck. Listen up! The Aberdeen Group (actually that is from Social Centered Selling’s research report, but you know how the internet is if someone puts the wrong attribution out there) found that 72.6% of Salespeople using Social Selling outperformed peers and exceeded quota 23% more often.
How can Social help you? “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else” (Albert Einstein). Listen and learn!
