This month, Mark starts off offending both his guest and the producer! He may not be invited back!  

When he finally gets around to the show, Mark talks with Al Simon with Sandler Sales Training about social media and sales.  Al knows sales better than most since he has an 18 year old organization training sales professionals.  Listen to the ways he uses social media and grows revenues!

Social media updates this month:

This month’s topics:

1. LinkedIn ORGANIC reach is fantastic!
   1. POST AND TAG AND COMMENT
   2. BUT Instagram engagement is DOWN. WHY?  Because there are more and more businesses pushing out content AND PEOPLE DO NOT ENGAGE WITH BUSINESS CONTENT!
2. LinkedIn is killing their API’s
   1. Evernote and other biz card scanning apps will no longer send out invitations. Use the QR code or the “Find Nearby” feature to connect.  But be sure to connect to people to grow that targeted audience on LinkedIn.
3. HOT HACK TIP: Like or comment on the posts of the people that are important to you on LinkedIn. They will be notified of your action.
