TRUE POTENTIAL OF SOCIAL SELLING

Nothing in the history of the World can


compete with LinkedIn’s money-making
potential.

This is because LinkedIn has over 774


million members globally, and most of the
money, businesses, and decision-making
power in the World belong to its members.

Each LinkedIn member also has a very


valuable network of people in their field
and region that you can reach through
their endorsements.

LinkedIn is a fabulous environment to do


business, so it is no wonder that 92% of
B2B marketers surveyed are using
LinkedIn in their marketing mix.

All sales your business needs,


it can find through LinkedIn.

That is why I am talking about LinkedIn in


this article, although almost all these ac-
tions can be applied to other social media
as well.

Millions of posts are published on LinkedIn


every day, but only few of them receive
more than a dozen engagements or hun-
dreds of views.

That is a big problem because today popu-


larity equals credibility:

• “How credible can this company be since


I do not even know the brand?”

• “How could this business be credible if its


content is not popular?”

• “Why would I click on the content that is


not credible?”

• “Why would I waste my time reading


unpopular content?”

Of course, popularity does not equal cred-


ibility, but none of us can change how
businesspeople think today.

Step #1 to Increase Credibility

Publish your business's content under a


regionally, nationally, or continentally
known and respected brand from the
same geographical area where its dream
clients are located.

Publishing under global business brands


will increase the credibility of your compa-
ny and its content even more.

Awareness of your business's brand is not


enough to make its content credible but
using the credibility of a better-known
brand will also increase the credibility of
your company and its content.

We are all exposed to an endless amount


of content on social media today, and most
of the reactions are to content from well-
known brands instead of to content of
unknow brands or unbranded content.

Perhaps you or the employees of your


company know of suitable brands that
could help your business with this credibil-
ity step.

Another option is to ask what possibilities


the public relations agency your business
uses can offer it and at what price.

I myself use the global The TOP Person


business and influencer magazine, which
receives over 10.2 million views from
business readers on LinkedIn every

Phase #1 to Increase Stickiness

Start by sending an email to targeted


decision makers and asking them to give
feedback on your company's content and
add the feedback received to the end of
your company's content.

If the content of your business is targeting


the decision makers of correct dream
clients, they will be delighted to receive an
email about it.

Asking for feedback on your company's


content is harmless because it does not
sell anything, and people feel appreciated
when someone asks for their opinion.

The best benefit of asking for feedback on


your company's content is that most of the
decision makers of your business's dream
clients will read the content to decide
whether to bother writing feedback on it.

This is a good way to get decision makers


of dream clients of your business
to consume its content.

Naturally, collecting feedback manually


takes time, and doing it without known
brand will drop your conversion rate.

Your business can try to increase its con-


version rate by offering some kind of prize
draw among the participants.

Personally, I am doing this under a global


business and influencer magazine The
TOP Person, which, in addition to the
brand, also has an online tool that makes it
easy to collect feedback from millions of
people.

Their tool also makes it easy for people to


re-edit their feedback and then publish
their feedback at the end of the article.

People also like to participate because


they receive free visibility in front of 10.2
million monthly readers of The TOP Per-
son business and influencer magazine.

In addition, they offer a monthly prize


draw worth €1,000 among the partici-
pants.
