Branding, 5 years ago I joined Data Masons an ISV within the Microsoft Dynamics ERP ecosystems as the Partner Channel Mgr, my challenge was I knew people a lot of people in the AX channel, a few in the NAV channel but not many in the GP channel. But Data Masons wanted to increase their foothold in the two channels where I didn’t have a lot of contacts so I knew I had to make sure I worked on Data Masons and also my branding of being an expert in the domain we service. The problem we had "800-pound gorilla’s” in those other channels, but increase awareness to Partners/End User lead to deals and in turn starting to put them the competitor on the ropes. I heard from one competitor “Every time I saw a win or heard Data Masons won that deal it got to our team mentally and made think we couldn’t win the deal when head to head!”
Social scene - Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ & Instagram to name a few.
LinkedIn has become a leading driver of creating interest and generating leads for businesses invested in a social strategy.
According to the numbers from LinkedIn , 6 out of every 10 LinkedIn users are interested in industry insights.
And as a sales and marketing professional, you have the knowledge and experience to capitalize on what this audience in looking for by finding others in your industry and connecting to them. My example connecting to Dynamics ERP focused people across the global which has give me over 13,000+ connections
Listen to your audience if manually, for example spending 10mins daily looking at what your connections are saying on LinkedIn, have they moved jobs, if so interact with them, congratulate them, like the more etc.
Otherwise look to tools like Social Listening for Dynamics CRM or tools like HubSpot to get more insight on what you audience is doing. The more you know about what they are looking for the more you can plug into that and use it to you advantage.
