#TrainYourTeam – Why Hire a Social Media Specialist to Train Your Sales Team?

What’s the value of having a social media specialist come in and train your sales team on social media marketing? Your sales team is the front line and your future success depends on this team knowing the brand message, the company culture, and the details of how the company is marketed both online and offline – this includes social media. This group of people is key when it comes to building know, like and trust – the secret to online marketing success.

Your Sales Team & Social Engagement

When your sales team is comfortable and confident engaging on your behalf online, you are organically building likes and follows on your channel. Each individual that is engaging with you is not only an addition to your audience but they also potentially promote that same content to their network as well. If your sales team doesn’t understand how to engage with your audience online – or simply avoids it because they aren’t sure what to do – you are missing out on some fantastic organic engagement and opportunities to connect with your leads.

Your Sales Team & Compliance

Do the members of your sales team understand the policies and procedures put into place for online interactions? Have you created compliance policies to protect your company online? It’s vital that these procedures are in place and that your team is trained on the right and wrong way to engage with leads and customers in an online space, such as social media. It’s essential that you teach your team to properly represent you on the Internet.

Your Sales Team & Their Public Presence

Since your sales team is the face of your business, their online presence does have an impact on your company. While you can’t tell your staff what to post on their personal feeds, it’s important to have a discussion about what it looks like to be appropriate in an online space since their public persona is a reflection on your brand. A social media specialist can come in and breach this topic with your team and give them guidelines on what they should or shouldn’t be doing online.

Your brand needs someone who specializes in social media, keeps up with the latest trends and changes, and operates in this space daily to really equip your sales team on how to confidently and successfully organically grow your audience on social media.
