In this episode of the How to Succeed Podcast, social selling expert Richard Bliss from BlissPoint Consulting shares valuable insights on succeeding at social selling on LinkedIn. The discussion covers the evolution of LinkedIn as the go-to platform, emphasizing its ubiquity compared to other social media platforms. Listeners will gain practical tips on leveraging LinkedIn to generate leads, enhance their pipeline, and optimize social selling strategies.  Bliss explains that the algorithm on LinkedIn is designed to trigger conversations between members, unlike other social media platforms like Facebook or Instagram, which are more focused on entertainment. He points out that the algorithm on LinkedIn rewards meaningful interactions that lead to conversations rather than simply garnering likes or views. This shift in mindset is crucial for salespeople looking to succeed on the platform. Tune in to learn how to navigate the changing landscape of social selling and maximize your results on LinkedIn.   Timestamps:    00:02:47 The upside-down world of social selling. 00:06:03 LinkedIn content engagement strategies. 00:08:37 LinkedIn sales strategies. 00:11:15 Commenting for Sales Success. 00:14:33 LinkedIn networking strategies. 00:19:14 Underrated sales prospecting techniques. 00:22:27 Cold email techniques. 00:27:28 Engaging sales team strategy. 00:31:13 Overcoming career setback. 00:34:21 Leadership and communication skills. Key Highlights: LinkedIn has become the go-to platform for social selling, with widespread adoption among professionals. The purpose of LinkedIn is to connect with prospects and customers and build relationships, rather than entertain or distract. The algorithm on LinkedIn is designed to trigger conversations between members, unlike other social media platforms. Posting text-only content on LinkedIn generates more reach and engagement compared to videos or graphics. Engaging in conversations by leaving comments on prospects' posts is more effective than sending direct messages or connection requests. Leveraging the mentioned feature on LinkedIn can grab the attention of prospects without directly reaching out to them. Sales Navigator can be a valuable tool for tracking and finding prospects, but it should be used in conjunction with understanding the fundamentals of LinkedIn. Using AI tools like ChatGPT can help generate ideas for comments and responses to prospects' posts. Authentic engagement and conversations with prospects are more important than trying to cheat the algorithm or use specific posting techniques. Success in social selling on LinkedIn is measured by the number of people you can help and the level of enjoyment you derive from your work.   =========================================   SUBSCRIBE: https://podfollow.com/howtosucceed Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a comment!   =========================================   Follow Us:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SandlerTraining Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/sandler-training/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandlertraining/ Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/sandlertraining/?_rdc=1&_rdr   =========================================

Authority and social proof are important factors in influencing others. Demonstrating expertise and providing examples of others who have benefited from your solution can increase trust and credibility. The principle of commitment and consistency highlights the importance of asking questions rather than telling people what to do. By getting others to commit to small actions, they are more likely to follow through and say yes to larger requests. Scarcity can create a sense of urgency and increase the perceived value of what you are offering. Highlighting what someone might lose by not taking action can be more persuasive than focusing on what they might gain. ========================================= SUBSCRIBE: https://podfollow.com/howtosucceed Don't forget to subscribe and leave us a comment! ========================================= Follow Us:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/SandlerTraining  Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/school/sandler-training/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandlertraining/  Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/sandlertraining/?_rdc=1&_rdr =========================================

Start your content with a hook that grabs your audience's attention and answers the "What's in it for me?" question. Understanding your audience's needs and pain points is key. Success means different things to different people and can evolve over time.

An Essay from our founder, David H. Sandler: Thank You, Prospects FOR every turndown, which made me stronger even though at the time I thought it was the end of my career. FOR every backout which left me disappointed and discouraged…and a special apology for all the 4-letter words that went through my mind at the time. FOR not showing up for a Monday morning appointment that had been confirmed, and one which I was worried about all weekend…you taught me how to relax and enjoy my family…seven days a week. FOR every “I want to think it over”… until I became angry enough to learn how to deal with a stall which had no substance except in my own mind. FOR every other stall and objection I have never been able to find in any sales training manual…which made me a better salesperson by forcing me to use my creativity in order to find a response. FOR teaching me that money is a conceptual thing and not a technical thing, and that you only had as much money as I was strong enough to ask for…even though it had no relationship to what you really would have spent for what I was selling. FOR every ignored voicemail, text, DM, and email…which taught me how to bring value and earn your attention. FOR every conversation I had with my family where I had to defend the business of selling which eventually even convinced me that selling was a worthwhile, legitimate profession…in spite of what you were telling me and anyone who would listen.   …AND a final thank you, for putting up with my ineptness, my fears, my worries, my self-doubt, my introversion, and all the other self-limitations I placed upon myself, which only by practicing on you, could I have learned to overcome to become the professional I am today.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to properly introduce yourself and your company in a way that drives engaging sales conversations. Learn Sandler’s four steps to a powerful, buyer-focused, 30-second value proposition and craft yours alongside our experts.

Mike Montague interviews Kevin Roth on How to Succeed at Finding Your Niche. Find Kevin at: https://kevinroth.org/  Kevin Roth began to play the dulcimer in 1972 at the old age of thirteen, and at sixteen recorded his first album for Folkways / Smithsonian Folkways Records, which immediately launched him into international fame. Between 1974 and 1984 Roth recorded ten albums with this label, establishing himself as a prominent folk singer and dulcimer player. In 1984, Roth performed the theme to the PBS-TV children’s show Shining Time Station, which brought him to another new and much larger market. His friendship and collaboration in 2006 with Noel Paul Stookey, of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul & Mary, further cemented Roth in American folk history. His career took him to concert and symphony stages around the world, to festivals, radio, television shows, and two appearances at the White House.  As his career grew, Roth became professionally and financially successful, winning numerous awards and partnering with prominent companies such as Sony, National Geographic, PBS, Random House, and Time Warner. Then came a sudden diagnosis of Melanoma, and it changed his life. He had a choice to accept a death sentence or to live. He chose life. Through adapting and combining techniques from his music and performance practice with others that he researched, he found a simple and powerful method to change how he lived. Roth discovered how to not just survive but to become truly happy and thrive.  Roth now guides individuals and groups in the discovery of what really matters to them, how to accomplish their goals, and how handling stress is an essential factor in a healthy life.  The best attitude, behavior, and technique on how to succeed at finding your niche Use your experiences and talents to find your niche Focus on serving people - What do they want and need?

This is a special bonus episode, a look back at this year’s Sandler Summit and one of our opening keynotes by Andy McCredie. He is a Sandler trainer from the UK and did a killer hour-long talk on closing the sale. The full talk is available in Sandler Online. Here are some quick tips on How to Succeed at Closing more Sales. For many salespeople, closing is the hardest part of the sales process. It can create fear and discomfort and be the source of major frustration. Sales leaders aspire to have strong closers who return to the office with deals, not promises. Salespeople want to be confident closers, but even the best can fail and are often left confused as to why they didn't close a deal. This session is a closing masterclass - a blueprint for the process, skillset, and mindset for closing more quickly, easily, profitably and consistently.

What if Sandler Training wasn’t about sales, management or customer service? What if it wasn’t even about communication skills or learning how to succeed? What would it be about? Could it be about changing or even saving lives? At Sandler, we talk a lot about finding and fixing pain. Sometimes pain is physical and real, and sometimes is emotional or even imagined. But what we know for sure is that PAIN is a very strong motivating force, and most people will do anything to relieve it. That’s why we learn questioning strategies like the Pain Funnel, a proven set of questions designed to help people realize and deal with their pain. Most of the time in sales, we uncover surface problems or business reasons, but sometimes it is personal and emotional. And that is when it is real pain. We recommend you memorize the Pain Funnel questions because the right questions might save your life or someone else’s… This is a true story from one of our clients. “I got a text message yesterday from my children’s mother saying she was going to end her life. I called her immediately, and she answered in tears stating that she had lost her children, lost her love, and was done with life. My initial response without forethought was to fall back on my sales training, I asked “What do you mean, tell me more about that, please.” She responded saying her life was over. I asked, “What you mean and how long has it been that you have been feeling this way?” She told me that ever since she had left me and the children, she had been addicted to prescription narcotics and in an abusive relationship. By this time, I am in my vehicle racing to her home. I asked her, “Since this realization, what has she tried to do to get help or leave?” She responded saying she had tried to stop using and tried to leave her lover many times. I told her clearly this has failed to work, and she agreed. I asked her what it has cost her? She then told me that this has cost her, her family, children, and life… With a lump in my throat I asked her what she was feeling coming to this realization. By this time, I had arrived at her house and was going to find her. I found a beaten woman who was in the process of ending her life. At this point, I pulled my wallet out and showed her a picture of my beautiful 6-year-old son and my amazing 13-year-old daughter… and asked her, “Are you going to give up on them? And are you done fighting?” At that point she dropped what she had in her hands and allowed me to call for help. Less than 24 hours later, she is on a plane to Colorado to a treatment center for addiction and spiritual healing. The skills you teach far surpass sales… You teach how to meet people where they are and to get the root of issues and pain. I thank you, I fully believe without the questioning skills you have instilled in me, I would not have had the clarity to get through to her and my children’s mother may not be here.” We hope you never need them for this reason, but we will leave you with one question. How good are your questioning skills?   _____   The How to Succeed Podcast is a public and free podcast from Sandler, the worldwide leader in sales, management, and customer service training for individuals all the way up to Fortune 500 companies with over 250 locations around the globe.

THE BIGGEST NAME IN SALES AND BIGGEST NAME IN MOTIVATION TEAM UP Sandler Training And Ziglar Inc. To Share Strategic Resources In this episode, you will learn about legacy from Tom Ziglar, CEO of Ziglar, Inc. and co-author of Born to Win with his father, Zig Ziglar. Tom shares his thoughts on the attitudes, behaviors, and techniques of building a legacy and life worth living. Tom also talks about the new Sandler/Ziglar strategic alliance. Owings Mills, MD – Sandler Training and Ziglar Inc., two of the major players in the training world, have formed a strategic alliance to share resources. As the leader of the global sales training market, Sandler Training has 250 offices worldwide, with professional trainers providing more than 450,000 hours per year of instruction in 23 languages.  Ziglar Inc. has been a leader in the motivational and business space for over 40 years. Zig Ziglar, the founder of Ziglar Inc., has influenced approximately a quarter of a billion individuals, and his son, Tom, carries on his legacy today. The strategic alliance with Ziglar Inc. enables Sandler Training to offer additional courses, as well as enhancing already existing programs, to their clients. The Ziglar content focuses on attitude, which fits well with Sandler’s proprietary BAT program (Behaviors, Attitudes, and Techniques). Likewise, Sandler Training will bring Ziglar Inc. more into the corporate arena by allowing the company to offer specific Sandler courses to Ziglar clientele.  Years of mutual respect and admiration for each other’s successes has led to this alliance. “We realize and appreciate the impact Sandler’s had on the corporate world,” says Tom Ziglar. “So we want this alliance to help bring the Ziglar message into the corporate world.” A driving force for these companies to align began with the idea that millennials are often unsure of what career path they want to go down. Ziglar’s motivational content mixed together with Sandler’s sales training techniques ensures a millennial’s success. “Our combined offerings create a powerful learning path for millennials as well as all levels and generations throughout an organization,” says David Mattson, President and CEO of Sandler Training. The proven and timeless principles of David H. Sandler and Zig Ziglar continue to drive success for companies and individuals, and both Sandler and Ziglar have demonstrated the ability to transfer those proven and timeless principles into today’s ever-changing and evolving business landscape. “I love that the biggest name in sales joins the biggest name in motivation,” Ziglar emphasizes. “The corporate world needs what Ziglar has and Sandler is the world leader in helping corporations achieve their revenue goals, which enhances our offerings.” Sandler Training is known in the industry for its techniques and skills with sales training while Ziglar Inc. is recognized specifically for the attitude portion of effective leadership training. Mattson states, “if you can meld those two together, it’s just a winning combination.”
