Four pillars to 8x faster growth (for ease of reading, I have changed the heading descriptions)
- TRUST – you will not buy from a business you do not trust – first. Your potential buyers – “If you want to change which businesses I buy from – first change how you build trust with me.
- WHY– explain – why I should only buy from your business rather than your competitors.
- Strategic Narrative – explain your why and your reasons – that is bigger than just your products and services
- Strategic Pitch – Explain your WHY in a couple of sentences – on your landing page.
Every market is complex, competitive and changing at speed. How does a new potential buyer work out which businesses to support?
We now live in a Social Selling Economy.
It is all about organic posts and less about paid advertising. 92% of surveyed buyers actively seek not to view paid advertising.
Organic posts are genuine and trusted compared to paid advertising.
Organic posts build
- trust,
- awareness,
- intent,
- they are also free to post on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedln, YouTube and all other channels.
Social Selling is the new currency for faster new buyer demand generation.
This article is an organic post we do not pay for advertising.
The new KPIs are
- Share of voice – the volume of daily organic posts compared to the total posted within your preferred hashtag channels. Quick example – 300 posts a day #socialselling. If your business posts a few a day – your business is invisible.
- Share of engagement -compared to your competitor’s engagement levels: it’s better to get 19,000 shares, likes, comments ( conversations that lead to new revenue) than the total of 4 engagements – a recent multi-country retail group were getting on their best performing social media posts.
More engagement with your ideal buyers leads to more conversations, zoom meetings and selling more.
