Social Media Training for Sales Teams

In a post-COVID world, there are more online opportunities for visible leadership than ever before. Clients and prospects spend more time on social media. A strong and personal digital presence is critical to build credibility and stay top of mind. 

We recognize that some sales team members are already very active on social media, while others dislike it or don’t feel confident using it regularly. Through an initial conversation with you, we design a training program that fits your specific sales team’s capabilities, experience levels and mindsets.

A well-written, optimized profile is the top priority, as prospects and clients constantly view sales leaders’ and team members’ profiles. 

Having a profile that positions them uniquely based on their background, skillset and area(s) of expertise will immediately build credibility and position them as an expert in their field.

We offer full-day or half-day sessions—tailored to your team’s specific needs—to cover the material and ensure your sales team comes out with a strong profile and a clear sense of what is required on an ongoing basis.

    When developing our social media management packages and strategies, we don’t rely on guessing when it comes to what works and what doesn’t. That’s why we looked beyond the analytical software the current market offers and created our own in-house tool from the ground up. Our proprietary Social Intelligence Optimization (SIO) technology provides data-driven clarity when it comes to analyzing performance patterns and trends.
