Panel Session: Taking B2B Social Media to New Heights

Social Selling is the art of selling via social media. It's based on cultivating relationships and building authentic connections so that the selling process isn't awkward. As a result, your prospective client isn't defensive, anticipating having to say "no" to you. Why? Because you already laid the groundwork by building relationships via social media, and establishing a deep sense of trust where you're seen as the expert. Soulful social selling is about framing the sales conversation as a two way process to dig deeper into their specific challenges in a totally relaxed environment where the prospective client feels it's OK to say no.

You can even sell via livestreams and get "hell yeses!"

By using social media to produce compelling and valuable content, you're laying the groundwork during the early stages of the marketing and sales cycle for the client to internally say "yes" to your products or services. You'll learn how to use social media to develop relationships across 4 key phases: captivate your ideal clients' attention, cultivate online conversations, connect with your ideal clients and deepen the relationships & convert to paying clients without resorting to closing techniques that feel contrived, manipulative and product focused versus client focused.

Social selling is soulful because you're relying on your intuition to guide the conversation versus using a rigid structure. The conversations are still structured, but you have the flexibility to move in a different direction based on what your ideal client shares with you.

Executive leaders that are willing to take risks and stay on the cutting edge of marketing trends often position themselves to capture lots of new business, talent and market share. The most successful leaders, however, know how to build a strategic foundation that is strong enough to support innovative trends while providing a tried-and-true baseline that keeps things grounded as the marketing landscape continues to evolve.

Join Launch Marketing’s Founder and CEO Christa Tuttle as she illustrates how webinar attendees can create best practices that can evolve into “next” practices, moving the needle on both innovative and stable success. This presentation will cover several cornerstones of B2B marketing, including messaging and positioning, integrated marketing plans, marketing automation and more.

In order to make intelligent decisions from marketing data, B2B marketing execs need smart, precise data. Locating, vetting and analyzing this data, however, is one of the least exciting things for companies to prioritize. Many companies will choose volume over value and continue piling new data into their CRMs rather than taking on the slower, long-term work on proper data cultivation.

Join Launch Marketing’s Founder and CEO Christa Tuttle as she explores the importance of a strong data foundation in maximizing the profit potential of marketing. This presentation will discuss the true value of data in several components of an integrated marketing plan, from messaging, lead generation and more.
