Social Business Exchange Event

Social Selling has fast become a popular buzzword.

LinkedIn has gone into overdrive selling LinkedIn Sales Navigator to corporate teams who want to modernise their sales approach.

However, this rapid growth can cause unstructured adoption. Licenses are often under-utilised, training isn’t scalable and when it comes to license renewal the investment is difficult to justify.

We are delighted to host our 3^rd Social Business Exchange breakfast event at The Shard with our guest speakers from SAP, IBM and Henkel.

SAP were early adopters of Modern Selling (before LinkedIn officially launched a product). They continuously set high standards when it comes to motivating and measuring their investment impact. They are constantly innovating, scaling and adapting the program internally which you will learn about during this event.

IBM Europe have recently launched their Social Engagement Program working with ourselves and our partner, Onalytica. The program focuses on connecting internal thought leaders to external influencers, taking social selling to the next level and driving even greater reach and revenue growth.

Henkel have recently migrated from Social Selling pilot to scaling their roll-out globally. Learn how they have built a network of champions, tied it into their advocacy program and are building a leadership program to support adoption and sales motivation.

This Event Is Ideal For Professionals Who…

Are responsible for managing a social selling program or pilot program within a global organisation
Are looking to (re)launch a Social Selling program
Need to scale their existing Social Selling pilot
Want to learn from others who have experienced the journey
