LinkedIn B2B – Optimizing Your Personal Brand, Product Brand, and Lead Generation
Modern sales is based on (digital) trust, adding value, thought leadership and consistency.
Together with the customer, you investigate the needs and whether your proposition would be a good fit. All of this happens on a foundation of confidence because trust is key. This new definition of sales is the cornerstone on which Just Connecting was founded in 2009.
Throughout our training programs, we focus on 4 pillars of building trust:
- Creating a strong personal and corporate brand / Thought Leadership
- Expanding your network with potential customers
- Adding value in each step of the Buyer Journey by Sharing insightful content
- Being approachable and know when to convert
This transformative method gains even more standing in today’s hybrid world of sales. Does
your sales team lack the skills to virtually connect and stay in touch with customers? Then that is a problem you can no longer ignore.
