Social Selling Roadshow, London Part 1 of 2 - How to Unlock Competitive Advan...LinkedIn Sales Solutions
The Sales profession is evolving. Discover how social selling can become a competitive advantage for you and your company. Learn the formula for success that your industry peers are using today, and seize this opportunity.
In the past, selling has involved building a rock-solid relationship with one key decision maker. However, in today's social selling environment, developing a relationship with a single person is no longer sufficient.
According to Demand Gen Report’s 2014 Buyer Behavior Survey, 34% of buyers noted a yearly increase in the number of people involved in purchasing decisions.
For this reason, relying too much on one relationship is risky.
Join us for this webinar as we dive into how to sell to multiple decision makers.

In a world where personalization is rapidly becoming the standard, we’re quick to reject anything that feels generic or impersonal. Buyers no longer have patience for the tried and true sales tactics you’ve been using for years. For sales and marketing professionals, this presents a new set of challenges. Discover how your peers are conquering these challenges in the new sales era.
Demandbase Chief Revenue Officer Don Wight discussed the divide between sales and marketing professionals during his presentation at the 2014 Chief Marketing Officer Leadership Forum in Dallas on Dec. 9. In his presentation, Wight noted that there are many good reasons for sales and marketing professionals to collaborate.
According to Wight, sales and marketing professionals who share key performance indicators (KPIs) can work toward common goals. Organizations that are focused on business-to-business sales cannot use business-to-consumer tactics to connect with their target audiences, Wight said. In addition, Wight pointed out that B2B buys and sells by account and it also aligns the marketing vernacular to the sales vernacular. And ultimately, organizations can use targeted account-based marketing, Wight said, to support both sales and marketing professionals: “The nice thing about accounting-based marketing is that it is focuses on the best opportunities. You’re going after the accounts that you really think can buy your product. It supports the sales reality.”
Also, Wight noted that an account-based marketing approach enables an organization to reduce its marketing budget and get better sales results. Wight said sales and marketing professionals that frequently collaborate with one another can make the most of business leads and help an organization succeed as well: “If marketing is gold on inquires and leads, it’s not going to translate to the salesperson. It’s really important to get together around the same KPIs … It allows you to spend more smartly. It’s not about reducing your budget, but using it in a better fashion. Then it also eliminates waste on the sales side.”

For some people, being online is a breeze. Nothing really to worry about; just open up your ecommerce shopping cart and within a few days, your paypal account will be full, so you can get that yellow Lamborghini that you have been admiring the last few days while planning your internet riches. And, if you are one of these 'people', then fantastic news! For the rest of us, however, we all know that it isn't as easy as we originally thought or were told.
It's a brutal landscape: your audience doesn't really know you exist at times, and your customers don't really care about you and your business. If you are not delivering your value with relevance and authority, then you might as well not exist online. How do you build that relevance to your audience? Well, it starts with one of the many aspects of a proper digital platform - your website.
In this webinar session, we will go through the Top 5 Mistakes that All Website Owners Make with their online business. Contrary to the TV adverts, it's not as easy as DIY website and the traffic will come. We'll explore some of the key elements that you need on the site, as well as how to really extract that value to impress your audience and make them into repeat customers. Whether your online business is about selling products, or about your defining service, we'll investigate what you can do differently to pull all these pieces together, to become the remarkable digital leader in your industry.

“Let’s tell the story that’s out there in a very visual way, engaging as many people as possible via our social media accounts (and even using the hashtag #wintermaersk to highlight it).
