I selected this article from Curatti written by Susan Gilbert because it shows you great tools to help improve your blog, Instagram strategy, and business sales.

 

Reach more customers and readers online with these great resources for business.

 

12 Marketing, Blog, and Business Tools for More Sales

 

With the right tools you can help your bottom line and reach grow. I agree that in order to build a business online it's important to take advantage of what's available.

 

Gilbert provides the best tools to help make your brand stand out on Instagram and your blog.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • Pinterest is one of the best social networks to attract buyers and website subscribers. The jQuery Pin It Button highlights your blog images for easy pinning.

 

  • You no longer have to just use a mobile device to manage your Instagram account(s). Grum helps you to schedule your images and posts ahead of time with related hashtags and emojis.

 

  • There are a lot of CRM products out there -- one of the best to check out is from Hubspot. Their free tool helps you to gain valuable insights on your leads and monitor your community.

A Visual Guide to Telling Compelling Stories for Your Brand [Infographic]

A Visual Guide to Telling Compelling Stories for Your Brand [Infographic] | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Great storytelling is a great differentiator.

Imagine you're walking down the snack aisle at a grocery store. How do you make sense of the hundreds of choices on either side of you? What's going to be on your mind when you decide what to buy? Perhaps you choose one product over another because that company donates a percentage of their proceeds to a great cause. Or maybe you choose it because it has more protein -- and you were just reading this article about how protein helps boost concentration, and you've been having trouble concentrating at work recently.

People like making decisions quickly, and it'll be easier for them to choose your stuff if your message resonates with them. After all, content helps people travel through the inbound marketing methodology so that, someday, they might buy something from your company and spread your company's story with others.

But, as you may have noticed, a lot of people are trying to tell stories these days. How are you going to set yours part from the pack? And where on earth do you begin creating compelling stories for your brand?...

Here's how you can use storytelling for great story selling.

Here's how you can use great storytelling for better social selling.

A useful article which speaks volumes about the importance of developing the story telling culture. This is not just about entrepreneurs and business heads but also about educators and facilitators. The storytelling culture can make learning more experiential, it caters to congintive learning, that is social congintive learning. While no doubt the article is for corporates and business houses, I feel it has a lot of relevance in the field of education, both at school and in college. Think for example, how many more people would like to go through the story of your research on values rather than a dry statistical analysis of how values matter!

This article will provide insight on:

I selected this article from Curatti written by Keri Jaehnig because it provides insight on how to effectively use Facebook Stories for your business.

 

How to build more trust and increase awareness for your brand.

 

Use Facebook Stories to Improve Your Reach

 

Stories are not just about fun and games. I agree that businesses can leverage these in order to reach their audiences in a more personalized way.

 

Jaehnig provides insights into how to best use Facebook Stories to reach your followers and beyond.

 

Here's what caught my attention:

 

  • It's important to do a test drive of this new feature. Stories is similar to Snapchat and Instagram Stories -- but there are a few differences unique to Facebook.

 

  • Make your updates quick and frequent for your audience to enjoy. For some businesses posting a few times a day can work well while others can stick to once a day or every other day.

 

  • Show your audience a "slice of life." Your Fans want to see your company as real and authentic to them. Include selfies and video showcasing parts of your day with a specific theme.

Is Social Selling All Hype? [Data]

Is Social Selling All Hype? [Data] | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

...According to the report, "social sales is cited as a priority for just over 7% of respondents. This is inconsistent with Google Trends data, which shows 'social selling' as a term rising dramatically in popularity." Is social sales more sizzle than steak , or has the practice simply not caught up with the buzz?

What remains clear is there is a missed opportunity here to capture critical contextual information that makes warm leads even warmer, particularly when you consider nearly 70% of sales professionals cite social media-sourced leads as the most important leads in the first two quarters of 2014."...

Jeff Domansky's insight:

So let's see if I have this right. Social sales is a priority for barely 7% of salespeople. yet, 70% of sales pros said. Social media leads to the most important lead generation tool. I think salespeople don't like what they don't know and can't control. They're wrong and they've got big problems ahead. If they don't see it.
