Social Media – buy my product…” – you’d think to yourself, wow, that guy was really rude. You’d probably turn your back, continue your conversation and never do business with me. Ever.

Why would it be acceptable to do that when other people are having conversations online?

To be successful when selling to people you don’t already have a relationship with you need to make your sales pitch timely and relevant.

Build trust.

Foster a relationship.

Understand your clients needs and problems.
