THX for checking out this Slideshare presentation – I’m Yuhannes Watts

I want to show you how to CRUSH relationship building with Social Selling, Technology & People

Skills

I connected with my main man Aziz Abdur-Ra’oof back in 2012 who at the time was the Director Of Student Welfare & Career Development @ the University Of Maryland.

In the upcoming slides I’ll show you how I used “Social Selling” + Technology + People Skills to build a relationship with Aziz which lead to a great opportunity!

Ultimately this is about using every tool at your disposal to achieve your goal

Let’s get started!

Focus on the RELATIONSHIP!

Re-Focus On Relationships

People respect when you build relationships the RIGHT WAY! Use Social Media, Technology and ANY TOOL at your disposal to easily build relationships with the right people.

Think OUTSIDE OF THE BOX… Come on folks - you can do it!

When you do this, you’ll be more TOP OF MIND for opportunities. People will gravitate toward you and find themselves WANTING TO WORK WITH YOU! Finding opportunities won’t be so much of a struggle… Like it is for most people.

Here’s what happened after I carefully built my relationship with Aziz using Social Media, Technology and good old fashioned People Skills…

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS!

Aziz invited me to do a LinkedIn training for the University Of Maryland Football Team on Networking & Leveraging Their Brand (Go Terps)!

The opportunity to work with such a prestigious organization would have never happened without the help of Aziz who rolled out the red carpet for me - thx Aziz!

How many people would love to work with TOP COMPANIES… But just can’t seem to get in… Or gain access… Or find the right person to bring them in?

SOCIAL SLLING & TECHNOLOGY(The Truth Behind It…)

This is the essence of “SOCIAL SELLING” - the big buzz phrase that everyone thinks is magic. In reality it’s all about using modern day tools to build a network of decision makers, movers & shakers and influencers who will give you ACCESS to themselves and opportunities… IF you can do it right right way.

Is it worth is? Well, if you’re willing to invest some time to engage with folks in a space where most of your competition is totally clueless…. SURE IT IS!

For those of you who are knocking on doors, making aimless telephone calls, blindly submitting resumes on job sites or just can’t seem to gain access to the right people…There’s a totally different world out there beyond your current horizon. Take some time and learn how to leverage the tools that are around you every day.

Most importantly, combine social media & technology with common sense, creativity, people skills and a little hustle and you’ll see results!

Is it starting to make sense now?

Thanks for staying awake for at least 75% of this presentation – have a stellar week!
