The B2B Social Media Book

A session at SXSW Interactive 2012

This session is a book reading of the forthcoming, The B2B Social Media Book: Become a Marketing Superstar By Generating Leads with Blogging, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Email and More to be released in January of 2012 by John Wiley & Sons Publishing.

More Details about the book and presentation:

Social Media has received a tremendous amount of media coverage over the past few years, but the business-to-business (B2B) approach is usually left out. Consumer sales are frequently smaller, easier and sexier, but with larger budgets. It is time for B2B marketers to learn that social media is a better fit for their type of relationship-based sales, and applying this framework to their campaigns will accelerate their marketing careers.

Lead Generation isn’t a dirty word. Social Media isn’t about hugging customers. These two seemingly at odds forces, when combined, offer the fuel needed to launch a marketer’s career to superstardom. Using never-before published methodologies and frameworks, this book will empower marketers to be a key driver of business growth and success. It exists to transform the often under appreciated marketer into a superstar to be admired by C-level executives and lauded by the sales team.
