The document discusses how the rise of social media has revolutionized marketing, sales, and customer relationships. It notes that customers now have more sources of information and influence outside of direct seller control. As a result, the sales process has shifted from educating prospects to engaging them, and from cold calls to qualified leads. The document recommends that companies adapt to this new environment through social selling - leveraging social networks to find prospects, build trust, and achieve sales goals. It provides tips on creating an online brand and engaging prospects through social media to facilitate relationships and sales.

models is a reality that is
revolutionizing business sales
strategies and the profile of
those who work in these

5. Before the rise of SOCIAL NETWORKS, the
primary way to obtain information about a
particular product or service was through the
seller, who (for the most part) controlled both
the selling and buying process.
In today’s world, information (or misinformation)
is available from other sources such as current
customers, competitors and multiple other
influencers and gurus whose voice is heard
through blogs and social media.
Today’s relationship with the customer may
start when the customer has already decided
what and from whom he wants to buy.

and interests

in common with them

analyzes these details before
contacting a user, it is clear
that the conversation between
them will be more engaging
and productive.
