Social Selling Strategies Using LinkedIn, Video & More: An Interview with Autoklose CEO Shawn Finder

 

In today’s guest episode I had the privilege of sitting down with CEO and Founder Shawn Finder as we discussed the topic “Social Selling Strategies Using LinkedIn, Video & More.”  

 

Shawn is the CEO and Founder of Autoklose; the first sales email automation platform powered by machine learning. Their searchable database is jam-packed with millions of verified B2B leads. Pick a niche, generate a targeted list, turn autopilot mode on, and you’re done. You don’t have to make cold calls or deal with a gatekeeper anymore. 

 

In addition, Autoklose is a well-rounded outbound sales platform featuring an automated lead generation software, email drip campaign management tool, and different CRM integrations. 

 

Some of the topics that we discussed in today’s podcast are:

 

  • Shawn’s background and how he made the transition from finance to sales. 

 

  • How to use social media as part of your outbound outreach and campaigns - specifically LinkedIn

 

  • Content development - How to get more likes, comments, shares, and reviews.

 

  • The importance of being the “Brand” and using the different networks even before using the new automated platforms.

 

  • The right way to use LinkedIn to build your network - starting from sending an invite to interacting with the prospect.

 

  • When the best time to post on your social network is when you have a super busy schedule.

 

  • New and improved software tools and features to promote your business on LinkedIn.



There you have it. Thanks for listening.
