Social Selling Roadshow Dubai
The document discusses social selling and highlights some key points: - LinkedIn has over 400 million members worldwide and over 2 million members in the United Arab Emirates. - The buyer's process has changed, with more people now involved in B2B decisions and fewer responding to cold outreach. - Social selling can provide competitive advantage by helping salespeople influence relationships, target the right people based on interest and intent, understand buyers and their processes better, and engage through insights and strong relationships. - Leaders in social selling create more opportunities and are more likely to hit quotas than laggards. The average social selling index in the UAE has increased 20% in the last year.
