Michael Brito, Executive Vice President of Zeno Group, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss B2B social media and social listening.
Employee Advocacy in B2B Social
Employee advocacy can be a powerful way to reach your customers and build trust. This is just as true in B2B social as it is in B2C.
The danger arises in believing that simply advising your employees to post ads and promo material will be effective. This can have the exact opposite effect on your customers, causing them to tune out your business’s impersonal attempts to sell to them.
Instead, Michael Brito of the Zeno Group proposes that you train and empower your employees to become storytellers. If your employees are passionate, allowing them to share their unique stories creates a personal connection with your customers, whether you work in B2C or B2B social.
In This Episode
- Why social data is just as valuable for B2B as it is for B2C.
- Where to start with B2B social listening.
- How influencer marketing works in B2B social.
- Why businesses should be empowering employees to be storytellers.
- How to build trust with customers.
