Proven LinkedIn High Intensity Performance Coaching
Get results & improve your sales through social selling
Training & mentoring for CEOs, C-suite & high performing professionals
Social Selling is a means to developing stronger relationships leading to better business results. It is laser-focused on your ideal clients using digital tools and social media platforms as part of a multi-channel approach.
If you are not yet using social selling or want to level up your social selling impact, our personalised performance mentoring is for you
Our live sessions are designed and delivered by Ann Longley, an award-winning digital strategist.
We work with CEOs, founders, business owners, C-suite execs and sales teams to help them understand, develop and measurably improve their social sales skills and impact aligned with their business goals and brand strategy.
Social selling can feel overwhelming. It is time-consuming to master. Don’t let these feelings paralyse you because you don’t know where to begin, how to use all the tools and functionality, or how to keep on top of fast-changing developments.
Your progress will be accelerated with personalised high intensity instruction and mentoring that is action-oriented — designed to build your confidence and get results.
We focus on how to use LinkedIn effectively to achieve your goals by starting with who you already know.
In the B2B Marketplace, LinkedIn is the number one platform.
