Social Media Training for Business in a Day

We would recommend that Social Media should be part of a multi faceted multi dimensional marketing and communications strategy

Getting new customers by traditional methods is difficult. Knock on a door or make a phone call, and you’ll be rejected. But send a social media connect request, and you’ll be accepted, because people are there to network with other people.

Acquisition and continuing to sell to/advise customers is the life blood & oxygen of all business.

Whatever business you are in TRUST is the mainstay of any relationship that leads to transactions. Why not then share your expertise online demonstrating & promoting your skills & insight that will then attract clients/customers to you? and show recommendations from satisfied clients in all in one place

Establishing trust to a point of transaction can only happen once a face to face (off line) meeting has occurred. Social media assists you in the process of developing relationships to the point of your prospective client saying – it’s time for a meeting now! All you have to do now is maintain a new  existing relationship!

Our strategies help you overcome the objections of

• I haven’t got time to meet you
• Why do we need to meet
• I am not involved in your market
• Who are you and your company

Allowing you to engage with them to the point of saying

• Why don’t we meet up now to fully answer this point
• I don’t understand this but like what you are saying
• You have received a number of recommendations so I feel that we should meet
• You write a lot of sense I value your opinion can you help me with this………

Keeping in touch with your stakeholders by traditional methods is time consuming but if you connect with them through social media they’ll broadcast what they’re doing and you can do the same. You’ll track how their circumstances and needs are changing whilst they’ll hear about updates to your product or service -naturally and without the need for newsletters – saving you resource and removing a task that no one wants to maintain!
