The Internet provides opportunities for businesses to interact with customers in new ways. As innovations in social media appear, enterprises slowly adopt those same trends to offer alternatives for making the sale online. Some companies are attracting potential new clients through live video streaming or open chat channels. Sometimes these cutting-edge approaches are combined to engage visitors into a unique one-on-one discourse with an office worker. Many businesses are looking at how they can use social networking to get in touch with their consumers.
I want to thank you for this article. There is precious little to be found on this topic -- and I am definitely looking. Your journalism is first rank.
Every salesperson shines best when in the presence of his prospect -- compared to emails or phone calls. You have to wonder why all salespeople in the world aren't tripping over themselves to implement technologies like UStream.TV and VidBlaster...to do from their desk what they spend hours in traffic trying to achieve at the prospect's place of business. And yet, the technology languishes.
My target market is salespeople and their managers. The reality is, these fantastic new tools are a 'hard sell'. It's like I'm asking them to become stage stars -- to go on camera with a single buyer at a time.
I am completely mystified, and frankly, discouraged by this pig-headedness. I honestly believe in five years time it will be commonplace for professional salespeople to use a webcam to make their intitial greeting with new prospects. In the meantime, I do the work of a dental mechanic -- pull teeth.
