Social selling is the process of utilizing social media platforms and networks to build relationships with potential customers. It involves using social media channels to identify, connect, and engage with potential buyers to generate leads and ultimately close deals. Social selling moves away from traditional sales tactics and relies on building trust and credibility with the customer through social media interactions. By creating a digital persona that showcases expertise and thought leadership, businesses can leverage social selling to drive revenue and grow their customer base.
