Have you ever accepted someone's connection on LinkedIn and received a 'cold' sales message straight away? Or maybe you've sent messages yourself that have fallen on deaf ears?
Then tune into this interview to learn what to do (and not to do) when selling on LinkedIn.
This week on the podcast, I interview Lynn Whitbeck, sales trainer, speaker, and author of the book "Practical Wisdoms @ Work", a must-read for every woman who wants career success. Building on her 30-year experience in sales and executive roles in the corporate world, Lynn transitioned to executive consulting and is the founder and CEO of Petite2Queen. Lynn and her team provide strategic expertise for the development and management of tailored client programmes. They help to enhance marketing, sales, business development, and operations management.
In this episode, Lynn and I talk about how to move your sales process forward on LinkedIn by focusing on relationships. A strong network of close connections will not only potentially work with you but also refer you to their connections. Be of service to your network - nurture relationships, and you'll see faster and more sustainable business growth. By focusing on your customers' needs and on how your products or services benefit them, you'll be able to close sales faster and more easily. 'Think like your customers' and focus on their goals and objectives. If you want to learn how not to squander leads, but, instead, create relationships that stand the test of time, don't miss this episode!
You will learn…
- About the importance of 'relationship sales', based on providing value to your connections.
- About the importance of refreshing your profile regularly.
- How NOT to squander your leads by sending out 'cold' hard sell messages without investing in building relationships.
