Leveraging your social network to find the right prospects, building trust, and ultimately achieve your sales goals. 

From: what can I sell you?

TO: how can I help you?

Social Selling Index

LI uses and organic algo. You can check your score here:

Once you’re over 70, LI algo will pick up and promote your content.

It all starts with content.

Write your profile title in the framework:
I help X Achieve Y so they can do Z

Be a customer first. 

Write a value prop. Who you are, why you do what you do. Understand what your audience needs and wants. Focus on your why.

Talk about what’s going on. Not what you can do.

10% personal. 20% company content, 79% non company content
