ATTRACTION(customers, not numbers!)
ATTRACTING PROSPECTS!Become A Lead Magnet
What Makes Us Buy? It’s not rock science! People buy from those they know, like & trust.
11
ATTRACT PROSPECTS"Forget the numbers!
• Attract prospects through content.
12
• Let people self-‐select at this phase, if they aren’t interested in hearing
about your business – you don’t want them!
• Go for targeted matches over crowds of people.
• Target people who will buy from you (or tell others to in some way), you’re
not here to win a popularity contest.
“Meeting John Doe for Steak!” -‐ Says Prospect
ATTRACT PROSPECTS"If Content Is King… then “Context” is God!

ENGAGEMENT(people buy from people they know, like and trust)
MostWhat
Matters
ENGAGE OPPORTUNITIES "Never forget that this is a social platform…
• Relationship moves from broadcasting to dialog via twitter conversion, blog comments or emails.
15
• Goal is for prospects to feel like they get to know you as a trustworthy, likable person.
• This is a multi-‐touch approach (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Email, Phone)
• Use social media as a part of your follow-‐up strategy. Follow prospects on twitter, connect on Facebook, connect on LinkedIn, etc.
Other Benefits Google credits brands with “social signals” -‐ likes, shares, comments, etc. Brands can get SEO credit if they have
active communities. This makes social media crucial to any online marketing campaign.
ENGAGEMENT PLAN!Never Forget That Social Media Is For Being Social

SALES FUNNEL(how do you sell?)
THE SALES FUNNEL"Goal = Always move prospects from social media to sales funnel
• Think about how you sell, what is your sales funnel?
18
• Use freebies, downloads and special offers to move social media contacts from social and into email, in-‐person events, etc.
• Social media only opens the door, you have to close the deal! (pick up the phone, send an email, make them an offer!
• Hustle. Don’t be lazy -‐ putting your website in front of them is not enough. Be real, be personable, be specific. Tell them what to do.
THE SALES FUNNEL"What Is Your Sales Process?
19
Concentrate on the activities of prospecting, presenting and follow-‐up; the sales will take care of themselves. “ ”-‐ Brain Tracy, Sales Professional
It’s Not Rocket Science You probably already have a sales process. Even if you think you don’t. There’s typically a few things that you do
that often lead to new deals. So, spend some time outlining what your sales process is -‐ this is critical!
THE SALES FUNNEL!Example Social Media Sales Funnel
“Drain Bramage” Don’t let the sales funnel topic give Drain
Bramage (brain damage) -‐ it’s not as hard as
you think.
"
Think of a normal sales process; lead,
opportunity, quoted, closed, won. Now, think
about how this might work on social media
from listener to connection to advocate.
20
THE SALES FUNNEL!Don’t Get Complicated (K.I.S.S. = Keep It Simple Stupid)
21
THE SALES FUNNEL"Quick Facts
• It takes longer to make sales initially, but it will snow ball the longer you communicate regularly.
22
• Directly making sales through social media (turn something you’re already doing into a sales channel)
• Selling is only a very small amount of your time on social media.
Think about segmenting your email marketing lists into targeted groups of people!
