Shownotes: Social has changed society and the way we do business A social selling approach is not just layering social on top of tradition sales and marketing There is a difference between social selling and spamming, which many people get wrong The right social presence build relationships, draws people to you and makes them want to meet you How social scales better than a 1-1 phone conversation in enabling your content to reach more people People aren't interested in your company your firm and your products - they're interested in theirs The power of a personal brand to build trust and relationships online Why it's important to get the people at the top on board with social, no matter their age or generation In the old days, there was prime selling time where you could reach prospects - this no longer exists in an 'always on' world Accountants - ever considered your firm's alumni as a great source of new clients and introducers? The rules of sales have changed - buyers now expect sellers to be different Why pitch slide decks talking all about your accounting firm are no longer relevant Most sales meetings are a waste of your time - there is a better way Good news for accountants - why it's actually easier to sell now that it ever has been Shout out to the BANT approach to selling - budget, authority, needs, timescale How social selling and inbound marketing cuts down selling cycles for professional firms Research from Gartner says that buyers are up to 57% of the way through their buying process using online means before they contact potential suppliers or advisors Social and HR - smart accounting firms are using the networks of their employees to find new talent Social is changing sales but also other functions such as HR, procurement and finance It's prudent for accounting professionals to have a wide, deep and diverse business network You should have at least 2000 relationships on LinkedIn before you can say you have a good network LinkedIn is the most trusted network for professionals like accountants because it's most often where their clients are Traditional networking is dying as the online and social means of connecting become more dominant What's coming up in the world of social over the next 3-5 years, particularly using augmented and virtual reality Artificial intelligence will become omnipresent like the website has become The importance of ground rules to decide who you connect with on LinkedIn Tips for looking and sounding different on LinkedIn (hint - there a million 'thought leaders' on there!)

Join Priscilla McKinney, CEO and Momma Bird at Little Bird Marketing as she chats with Tim Hughes, co-founder of Digital Leadership Associates and author of best-selling book, Social Selling - Techniques to Influence Buyers and Changemakers. They discuss a new mindset for social selling and effective ways to get fast responses selling by using social. The transformation he offers is not just about Social Selling, but providing a complete new way of working for sales and marketing teams. He also elaborates on the difference between buyers and changemakers. The book is relevant because of the reality that the digital landscape has changed buyers' habits. It is also increasingly difficult to reach them early enough in their decision-making processes. Additionally, developing relationships with decision makers through social networks has become a critical skill for the modern selling professional. Tim discusses how he was getting tired about the narrative surrounding social in relation to lead generation and practical sales growth. Over time, he felt the discussion about social selling had gone backwards. Once the first excitement wore off for some people, they left social media without really understanding what a powerful tool it is when used correctly. He offers expertise around these pressing questions: How do you increase your influence online? How do you stop wasting time online? How do you successfully build a community online? How do you develop a system to use technology to your advantage and shorten the sales cycle? How do you identify changemakers and deal with them successfully? In this episode you not only get great advice about proper use of social media for business, but you'll discover where to get a proper drink in London as well. Suffice to say, they both recommend lunch at The Savoy. You can hear Priscilla's thought before she left for London where she and Tim met on our episode called Priscilla Goes to London Town.
