The Biggest Social Media Mistake Costing You Engagement

The biggest mistake you are making on social media

Is you think it's a sale channel, it's not, it's a relationship channel

You know this yourself, we all hate it

When somebody connects to you and then pitches you

“connect and pitch” actually moves you further from your buyer

It makes the victim less likely to spend money with you

Think about it this way - when you meet somebody for the first time in real life

They seem really interesting if they ask you questions about yourself

We all love to talk about ourselves

They seem dull and boring if they keep telling you things about themselves

Social media is a digital version of how things work in real life

Social media is a fantastic platform for you to be able to listen to other people

Let them speak and then something special happens

If you let somebody speak you’ve earned the right for you then to speak

And you hope that if you’ve listened properly they listen when you speak

Social media is a great way to use your presence and behaviour

To make connections and have meaningful conversations at scale

These conversations could lead to commercial interactions
