Become
A
Lead
Magnet
What
Makes
Us
Buy?
It’s
not
rock
science!
People
buy
from
those
they
know,
like
&
trust.
11
12. 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.

Never
forget
that

a
social
platform…
• Relationship
moves

broadcasting
to
dialog
via
twitter
conversion,
blog

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.

18. 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.
19. 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!
20. 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.

22. 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!
