Using Social Media To Sell

Today we’re very lucky that there are so many different social media platforms that we can use to sell our business products and services and what’s popularly known as “social selling” is a hot topic

It does however require a knowledge of each of the different platforms and finding the ones that suit your business

The old saying “no one wants to be sold to” still applies but we shouldn’t forget there are thousands of people who also want to buy!

It always reminds us of a trip to Egypt where we were taken to an alabaster factory as part of the sightseeing trip…
