The ideas for life, the methodology for marketing and sales, and the HubSpot software technology are all worth learning if you communicate, market or sell.Recently we posted the newest CEO video in our catalog. This is Bruce Peters, CEO of CEOhq. We really like this as an example because it embodies all of the most critical benefits.
Social selling is targeted social media. It's social media with a VERY clear target and absolutely measurable ROI.
Social media, in general, can be good when there is value to creating and nurturing a persona that wants to "belong" to a community. Some products and services work like that. It's a club that self identifies as "engaged with the brand".
But that's not "of value" for lots of business models. There's just no real ROI without a targeted strategy that integrates "social" as an effective selling or brand building tool with real measures of effectiveness.
It's not uncommon to hear colleagues say LinkedIn is the best social media platform to market their products and services. I can't think of another social media platform where people put their entire life's work history out there for the world to see, the way we do on LinkedIn. The full career disclosure approach most of us take when setting up our profiles is exactly why LinkedIn is such a robust database of potential customers!
