Why do most social media management providers ( and in house teams) fail to sell more of your products and services?

Why do most social media management providers (and in house teams) fail to sell more of your products and services?

  • You do not need a huge social media following to get more results and have more conversations with your ideal potential customers. 
  • #socialselling is a proven sales engagement and lead generation methodology. 

We live in a Social Selling Economy. It’s time to adopt the social selling methodology for your business. 

Five steps are all it takes to generate awareness, engagement and outcomes. 

Train Your Team –> Social Media Posts –> Landing Pages –> Zoom Calls –> Influence and Sell More 

There are six reasons why most fail. 

  • No strategy – If you don’t have a great plan first – don’t waste your time and money. 
  • Not enough posts – If you are posting less than 50 posts a month – you are invisible. 
  • Wrong social media channels – be where your buyers are. 
  • You are yet to position yourself, your business as the expert thought leader and one of the best businesses in your field. 
  • Your content is not engaging – it’s time to move from invisible to the influencer. No engagement = no sales. 

Three upgrades will accelerate and differentiate your business from its competitors. 

  • More Trust Assets 
  • Answer the WHY question better. 
  • Tell a bigger story than just your products and services – your strategic narrative and pitch. 

We recently started working with a startup. They have allowed us to share some of their results.

Background: 

  • Highly competitive global and local markets. 
  • We rebuilt their Business of Trust foundation. 
  • We started with six social media channels we posted to daily. 

 End of first 30 days. 

    • Engagement (likes, shares, 
    • conversations increases) 1320x
    • People reached an increased 111,000
    • Followers increased by 25x 
    • Pageviews + impressions 129x

Learnings 

  • Video often performs best.  
  • Global average – you have to win attention in 8 seconds. 
  • There were two high performing engagement times each day. We experimented with putting the day’s posts only into these two times. This action lifted all indicators of engagement and pageviews by around 40%. 

The results are not a guarantee of future performance. It shows how one hard-working business is succeeding now.
