Social Selling 101
A Brave New World
75% of B2B buyers and 84% of C-level/vice president (VP) executives
surveyed use social media to make purchasing decisions.
Online professional networks are the number one information
preference of buyers in the final stage of the purchase process.
Social buying correlates with buying influence. The average B2B buyer
who uses social media for buying support is more senior, has a bigger
budget, makes more frequent purchases, and has a greater span of
buying control than a buyer who does not use social media.
B2B buyers find the greatest benefit of social media is gaining greater
confidence in and comfort with their decisions.
