For leaders and entertainers in business, the need to connect with peers and customers–digitally–has never been more imperative.
The pandemic transformed social media from a way of communication, to THE way of communication.
That means social selling is now…selling.
LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, aren’t just about influence. They’re about branding, marketing and sales.
The top-sellers rely on them, in an all out effort to grow business. Why? Just like you likely buy online, over 25 percent of young Americans (up to age 35) buy directly from social media channels.
This is the new normal.
Practically every business is facing a challenge with social selling mastery. The game is changing by the minute. Most executives are not able to handle both building or maintaining a business, and creating a viable social selling system.
This is even true for celebrities and social media icons, who have built influence–but not business. While the channels they used to gain recognition can also build them revenue, the journey from social media to social selling isn’t always clear.
Every business is unique; all marketing strategies are not created equal.
That is why so many influencers–from celebrities, to professional athletes and talk show hosts–are turning to Dennis Koutoudis, and LinkedSuperPowers, to improve their sales with a social strategy that is actually based on networking, offering value and forming strategic professional relationships with their target prospects.
One of the world’s leading digital marketers, Koutoudis takes on Fortune 100 executives, and private clients, to transform their sales performance across various social media channels.
“There are so many new influencers and media stars with the promise to start great companies in the short term, but first, they must have a social media presence that creates a viable sales funnel.
To remain viable, they need to capture their ideal audiences online. If they’re social, but without a social selling system, competitors outperform them.”
The lesson?
Have an active digital marketing strategy.
Koutoudis and his wife and business partner, Emily Pappas have been featured in Forbes, Fortune, CNN, CBS, Huffpost, Entrepreneur, Nasdaq, LA Weekly and many other international publications. To date, they have reached millions of people, and influenced or directly helped thousands of companies accomplish their unique professional goals through their vast expertise and knowledge of social media marketing.
Their global reach has been hard won over 20 years. Today, they are #1 international bestselling authors, and Dennis is also the creator of ‘The Ask Dennis Show’, a live event that last year drew 18,000 attendees.
This year, Koutoudis is hosting 40,000 attendees.
Despite his success as a digital guide, part of the draw for clients of Koutoudis is his easy approach.
“The more famous you become,the more humble you should be,” he says. “At least, if you wish to stay at the top!”
Despite his likable and easygoing nature, Koutoudis is to the point when it comes to his business:
“We walk the talk, that’s one of the things that make us stand out. For example, we cannot offer you LinkedIn presence optimization without having an optimized presence ourselves.”
“If you’re a celebrity or an influencer and decide to become an entrepreneur in the business world, that’s where we come in. We’ll present you accordingly in your unique professional field, train you on how to maximize the utilization of Social Media platforms and therefore get you closer to the accomplishment of your professional goals as rapidly as possible. We speak the language of LinkedIn, and business on social.”
“You can always transform yourself in LA,” says Dennis. “Especially if you’re ready to embark on your social selling journey!”
