Social media typically thought of as a marketing program, we are here to help you understand how to think about social media as a sales funnel. Interacting with customers and clients in order to convert them from leads to prospects and then from prospects to buyers is the main goal of marketing and sales. This graphic displays what we think of and use as our typical interactive marketing program that all centers around our clients main message and assets – their website and blog. (explain the components of the bubble). Driving qualified leads to their website in order to capture those buyers enables them to focus their sales activities on each individual buyer…especially when they have an effective CRM program in place. All of you, every one of you here today, has an effective CRM program in place, and is in a strategic position to gain marketshare if you use social media to build competitive advantage.
