What is Remote Selling and Social Selling and what's their use?

Here, remote selling is NOT defined as e-commerce as delivered by Amazon or Alibaba.

Remote Selling in B2B is engaging – both online and by telephone or videoconference – in valuable conversations with the right prospects and customers.

Thereby helping them along in their customer journey.

In B2B customers often complete 70% or more of their buyer journey by themselves. Autonomously they look for the best answers and partners via social networks and Google. No accountmanager needed. That accountmanager physically is not welcome yet with customers or prospects.

That is especially the case in the orientation phase (or in a time of smart lockdown due to the virus).

As commercial director, how do you ensure to effectively keep in touch with customers and prospects alike from a distance?

This modern way of selling is based on 1-on-1 contact with best fit customers and prospects, adding value via relevant, bespoke advice and help. This in turn will enable both the prospect and you as supplier to assess whether it makes sense to take the next steps forward.

When you are being honest you cannot serve everybody. And you do not want to either. On the other hand you want to attract your ideal customer, help him progress and turn him into a reference or ambassador. Right? What does remote selling have to do with ‘social selling’ ? Social Selling is hot. It is sometimes seen as pimping one’s LinkedIn profiel. And off you go. So what is it? It is the smart use of social networks such as LinkedIn, facebook or twitter to achieve commercial results.

Social Selling is not suited for accountmanagers yet also for management, entrepreneurs and business professionals such as accountants, lawyers, IT-consultants and advisors.

Social selling consists of all actions geared towards getting into touch with potential customers via social media, thereby building rapport and trust and kickstarting and reinforcing the commercial process. Remote selling centers around sharing the right expertise thereby better advising prospects and customers. That is a lot easier, more sustainable than face-to-face and can be done at pretty much any time that suits your relationships: 24/7.
