Best of LinkedIn: Social Selling CW 23/ 24

We curate most relevant posts about Social Selling on LinkedIn and regularly share key takeaways. This edition offers a comprehensive overview of social selling strategies, particularly focusing on LinkedIn. They highlight the importance of authenticity and building genuine relationships over traditional, impersonal sales tactics. Several authors discuss the Social Selling Index (SSI) as a metric, though some note its declining relevance, advocating for a focus on quality content and meaningful engagement. The sources also explore the impact of AI in sales, suggesting it should augment rather than replace human interaction, and emphasise the need for alignment between sales and marketing to achieve consistent revenue growth by understanding customer needs and preferences.
