Episode Description
The buzz: Up close and personal. Business is becoming more personal. How? Rather than searching your company’s home page basics, prospective customers may be more interested in your organization’s leadership and sales team’s presence on LinkedIn and other social platforms. What does this mean to you? In addition to creating and growing your company’s online brand and reputation, you’d be smart to ensure your employees have a solid personal brand to ensure a prospect’s first impression motivates them to buy from you. The experts speak. Rob Levin, RSL Media: “Selling is the transfer of trust” (Jack Daly). Tara Mead, SAP “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” (Dr. Seuss). Phil Lurie, SAP: “To remain in ignorance of the enemy’s condition simply because one grudges the outlay of a hundred ounces of silver…is the height of inhumanity” (Sun Tzu). Join us for The Human Connection: Emphasizing the Social in Social Media.

The digital economy has transformed the way B2B buyers discover, research and purchase products and services. They rely on digital resources for a majority of the buying journey, and they use their mobile devices to access and gather that information. They don’t want or need to deal with a salesperson until the actual purchase decision.
Today’s B2B buyer differs from company to company and from generation to generation. With a multitude of digital and social channels, it’s imperative that your company present itself with the same message, tone, voice and look across all channels to deliver a consistent experience at every touchpoint in the buyer’s journey.
Changing the Game of Revenue Growth brings you thought leaders with expertise across the buyer’s journey so you can proactively connect with buyers on their terms to help you grow revenue and build long-term loyalty.
