Social selling - Tim Hughes

Adopt a clear strategy for social selling, including how to build authority online, gain influence in target communities and engage with decision-makers and changemakers to 'hack' the buying process, with the bestselling book from industry thought-leader Tim Hughes.

-How to use networks purposefully to build social trust and create a high-quality community
-How to develop real influence and authority in your subject area and connect with change-makers
-How to scale the social selling strategy across an organization including maturity and investment models, risk and governance, and technology platforms
