Say you are an academic and you’ve recently published a new book. How can use social media to position – and ultimately sell – the book? Ditto for an admissions or marketing team looking to increase the number of students who apply for a particular program at their institution.
Greg Hyer, a social sales trainer, addresses these questions on episode 39 of FIR on Higher Education. Among the topics we discuss are:
- How to adopt a social selling mindset.
- Leadership’s role in instilling this mindset throughout their team.
- How professors teaching communications can most effectively train students about these principles.
- Finding out the type of content that will resonate with your audience.
