Is “social selling” a legitimate sales tactic or is it sales voodoo? Is it just cold calling and building relationships as we’ve always done in sales, or is it something more? Our guest today helps to dissect the intricacies of social selling and how to leverage it in order to market yourself and your product.
Darryl Praill brings his infectious energy to this episode. He discusses how to lean into the social media landscape by expressing your opinions, defining yourself and leading with quality material. This is not your grandparents sales strategy.
Daryll is Chief Marketing Officer for VanillaSoft, host of the INSIDE Inside Sales Podcast, part of the Sales World Top 50, and one of the most sought after keynote speakers at sales events.
