SLMA Special Program: Sorry for the inconvenience but social selling is a revolution
John Golden, author of Social Upheaval How to Win @ Social Selling, former CEO and president of Huthwaite, and currently president of Focused Revenue Results, will be interview by SLMA Radio host Jim Obermayer to discuss his latest work Social Upheaval. Golden makes the case that social media is slanting the playing field in favor of the buyer at the salesperson's expense. At the same time, he says if you cannot sell off-line, you cannot sell on-line. Obermayer says he looks forward to this interview more than almost any other in recent memory and this program on SLMA Radio will take up the entire 55 minute segment. Obermayer met Golden at a reception hosted by Pipeliner CEO Nikolaus Kimla in Los Angeles at the Johnathan Club on June 11th.
