SOCIAL MEDIA AND SALES: Phillip Saxton with Small Business Samaritans

00:00 /

On this episode of “On the Money“, host Joe Moss of Embassy National Bank interviews Phillip Saxton of Small Business Samaritans about the role of social media in today’s sales efforts.

Phillip Saxton/Small Business Samaritans

Small Business Samaritans cares about the individuals who have the dream and courage to start a business. These dreams are important, not just to them and their families, but to their customers and the community where they operate.

We are living in challenging economic times where much of the future of the United States depends upon job creation. Our top concerns as a nation lie with economic recovery, job creation, and setting up & operating successful businesses. It is highly doubtful that many new jobs are going to be created by big business, global business, governments, inventions or new investments. During the last 15 years, according to the Small Business Administration (SBA), small businesses generated over 64% of new jobs. Currently, 70% of job growth is generated by small businesses, which is expected to continue, if not increase, in the next four years.

Small businesses have been severely affected by economic, global and political forces completely out of their control. The current recession was caused by poor political decisions, poor leadership from large financial organizations, a liquidity shortfall in the banking system caused by the overvaluation of assets, poor leadership from large corporations, and greed.

The concept of SBS was born out of the idea that small businesses and entrepreneurs needed to do things differently in order to insulate them from these economic and political forces. Our communities depend upon doing things differently. The goal is to operate a business that is less subjected to outside forces.

SECRETS OF EFFECTIVE NETWORKING: Will Caraway with Chief Networking Executive

00:00 /

I’m not any good at networking. I don’t like it when people come up and try to sell me stuff I don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford. I’m not getting any referrals from the networking groups I go to. How do I get out of a annoying conversation? When is a good time to go networking?

Those questions and more are answered on this episode of “On the Money“. Host Joe Moss interviews Will Caraway on how to network effectively. He tells you how many people network incorrectly and shares secrets on how to network effectively.

Will Caraway/Chief Networking Executive

Why are people buying from you? Is it because of your company, your service, or your price? No! It’s because of YOU. They are buying you. This is the best-kept secret in the sales industry today. The only exception to this rule is if your product is the only one in the entire world.

Will Caraway with Chief Networking Executive says you are always networking. Every time you talk to a neighbor, an acquaintance, a stranger or even a present client.

What should I say in my elevator pitch? Never, never, never tell them what you do! Instead tell them why you are passionate about what you do. Tell them a story about how your product or service has eliminated a problem for one of your clients and how it will prevent one from happening in the future.

Three components of successful networking. 1.Chemistry 2 Being perceived as the “go to” person or professional in your industry 3. Solve a problem now or prevent one from happening in the future.
