Research shows that sales teams hit their quotas 31 percent more frequently when they use LinkedIn, Twitter, and other social networks as part of their process. Yet most sales professionals don’t use these tools in any systematic way. In this webinar, two industry experts will explore social selling in the B2B enterprise. We’ll share exciting new survey data on social selling adoption, and explore how sales training and enablement can boost quota achievement by integrating social media into the sales process.

In the session, you’ll learn:

• why today’s selling environment requires successful sales professionals to engage their buyers on social networks
• how social selling requires changes to a sales team’s culture, mindset, and habits
• how high-performing sales organizations are integrating social media into their business process and metrics.
