There are more ways than ever to get in touch with customers and sell your services. But how do you know which methods are right for you and your business? And how do you ensure that you’re implementing them to the best of your abilities? One method that has gained a tremendous amount of traction over the past decade, is social selling. Not only do the stakes of a DM feel lower than getting on a high-pressure sales call, but it’s also more accessible to people with unusual schedules or chronic illnesses. But what are some of the drawbacks of social selling, and are they worth the payoff?
In today’s episode, we talk about why we stopped using social selling and how you can determine whether it’s the right choice for you and your business. We unpack how using social selling affected our boundaries outside of work, our values as a life-first business, and why the downsides of social selling ended up outweighing the benefits. While we believe that social selling can be a great sales tool, we want businesses to consider their options and make informed decisions based on the facts, and what will work best for them. Tune in to hear what our experience with social selling was like, why we stopped, and how to find out whether it’s right for you!
