I have long been opposed to the term ‘social selling’ so it is ironic I appear in my SMA colleague, Mark McInnes‘, brilliant collection of ‘social selling’ tips.
My opposition to the term is based on the concern I have that many see ‘social’ as the silver bullet to winning more business. It is not.
