Social Selling, done right, can create a\u00a0continuous flow<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0of inbound leads, create outbound opportunities, increase the speed of the sales cycle and so much more.<\/p>\n

Some companies and some sales teams, however, just aren’t using it yet.<\/p>\n

They have their reasons.<\/p>\n

For anyone who still needs convincing, or for anyone who wants to know what is working RIGHT NOW in 2022 in the world of social selling, here are 15 pretty awesome statistics I think you’ll enjoy:<\/p>\n

1) 92% of B2B buyers are willing to engage with a sales professional who is known as an industry thought leader.<\/h2>\n

If your sales team are not building personal brands yet they are missing a HUGE opportunity. Every single person in sales, from SDR’s, AE’s, sales leaders, everyone should and could building amazing personal brands and become seen as thought leaders.<\/p>\n

2) 90% of C-level execs are IGNORING cold calls.<\/p>\n

3) Social Sellers are 51% more likely to achieve sales quotas.<\/h2>\n

4) 84% of C-level execs consult social media BEFORE making purchasing decisions.<\/p>\n

5) 41% of B2B buyers view 3-5 pieces of content online before interacting with a salesperson.<\/h2>\n

6) Sales professionals with a strong SSI score (social selling index) have 45% more sales opportunities.<\/p>\n

7) Only 28% of companies are prioritising social selling.<\/h2>\n

8) Social selling is responsible for generating half of revenue for 14 major industries including computer and network security, health care and financial services.<\/p>\n

9) LinkedIn is the top social media platform used for social selling by reps. Twitter and Facebook were runners up.<\/h2>\n

10) Using LinkedIn’s Social Selling Index score as an indicator, only 1.4% of sales professionals are ranked as top sellers, which requires a score of 70 or greater.<\/p>\n

11) 65% of salespeople rely on social selling activities to fill their pipeline.<\/h2>\n

12) 31% of B2B professionals said that social selling allowed them to build deeper relationships with clients.<\/p>\n

14) Content shared by employees receives 8x more engagement than content shared by brand channels.<\/h2>\n

15) 75% of sales reps report not receiving ANY social selling training.<\/p>\n

That last statistic is quite a scary one, but also a HUGE opportunity. Now is the time to get ahead of your competitors, invest in social selling and start leveraging platforms like LinkedIn to its full potential.<\/p>\n
