How to Rock Social Selling in 30 Minutes a Day

How to Rock Social Selling in 30 Minutes a Day | Social Selling | Scoop.it
Time is limited for all of us, so I’m going to share how you can produce a positive ROI with social selling in 30 minutes a day.
Barry Deutsch's insight:

I am across this article the other day by Melonie Dodaro. She nailed it - she described in precise detail exactly what I've been doing for 30 plus years - now made possible in 30 minute a day in LinkedIn.

 

Here's my question - why do so few subject matter experts -  consultants and advisers sitting on a goldmine of content - refuse to invest this small amount of time daily to differentiate themselves and generate above average profitability as "the" expert in their field?

 

The tactics are extremely simple as Melonie describes - why don't more people do it. I find in my peers as personal service providers and consultants marketing to CEOs that less than 2 percent actively employ these tactics.

The Difference between Suspects, Prospects and Sales

The Difference between Suspects, Prospects and Sales | Social Selling | Scoop.it

If you were to ask most salespeople about the quality of the leads they get from marketing, they would probably tell you that they are suspects at best. And of course that depends on what your definition of what a suspect is.

Content Marketers & Curators - 50 Ideas to Create Buzz

Content Marketers & Curators - 50 Ideas to Create Buzz | Social Selling | Scoop.it

I selected this article from conversationagent because this is one of my trusted sources, where I find great content, day after day. 

 

This piece has some great tips for creating compelling content and it gives you examples of people who are doing a good job with each suggestion.

 

**These ideas can be used for content curators as well - to create buzz and build an audience, providing "context" is what sets you apart from others - these tips are ways to accomplish that.

 

Quote from this piece:

 

"Connecting ideas and people -- how talk can change our lives".

 

Here are a few things that caught my attention:

 

**. Make digestible bits of advice in micro-interactions gain big impact. Kellye Crane built a community for #soloPR practitioners off a Twitter chat filled with useful advice.

 

** Create a new list. People like to see where things stack against each other. By far, the most popular list is still the one Todd And created and AdAge took over.

 

** Give away secrets and tips to help others become more effective. Adam Singer is very generous in that regard.

 

** Teach something new or from a new perspective. Kathy Sierra has been able to do that on a topic that for many was considered not quite appealing

.

** Inspire people to take action and change the world. Entrepreneur Chris Guilleabeau is a good example of that.

 

** Be opinionated about future trends. That's a trait that is best exemplified by Robert Scoble.

 

** Track and review future trends from behind the scenes. A good guide is Louis Gray.

 

**Create a conversation around a social object. That's what Hugh MacLeod does.

 

** Become the expert hub on a subject matter. The consistent "go to" person for branding is the team at Branding Strategy Insider.

Fully 1/3 of my business in executive search, speaking engagements, and consulting projects come directly from content curation and marketing.
