The Social Selling Problem

For the last 3 years we have been introducing social selling to sales teams in mid sized enterprises and encouraging the use of both Salesforce and LinkedIn Sales Navigator to increase sales productivity.

B2B social selling is the proactive commenting, viewing, connecting and messaging of prospects on LinkedIn, not just sharing posts that the marketing department has published.

Every interaction a salesperson has with a prospect matters, optimising these engagements has a direct impact on conversion rates.

However, social selling has its challenges, here are four that we experience frequently and help businesses overcome:

  1. Social selling is labour intensive - It takes time to proactively comment, view, connect and message on LinkedIn.
  2. Capturing leads is largely a manual process - Sales teams need help reporting, many are still using Excel spreadsheets.
  3. Lack of automation - Social selling needs to be baked into sales processes somehow.
  4. LinkedIn’s Sales Solution’s falls short - Sales Navigator and Sales Insight integrations are not focussed around social selling.
