What’s all the fuss about LinkedIn Lead Generation increasing sales? Salespeople that utilize social networking on LinkedIn are 50% more inclined to reach the targeted quota. In addition, they outsell social networks by 78% and attract half as many new prospects to their sales pipeline. However, I wouldn’t say I like the term social-sold or social selling. It’s too corporate and cold.
What’s more important? A company page or LinkedIn leads? Well, the answer depends on your perspective. Your company page should not be filled with useless links, sales pitches, or fluff. Likewise, LinkedIn leads generated from your company page will not be very useful if it is. But if you’ve taken the time and effort to build a really valuable company page with meaningful, useful information about your company, then you may consider the LinkedIn leads a bonus.
Salespeople can actually add leads to their networks with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and the leads can be compatible with your own qualified prospects. Sales Navigator is one of the fastest-growing paid network marketing companies in the business today. The Sales Navigator system allows users to create a network, connect with others, add leads, and track activity in real-time. It also allows sales professionals to manage their leads and contacts easily. Moreover, you can access company information to learn more about individual contacts. In addition, Sales Navigator offers many other functions that can enhance your sales process. These include identifying top prospects and generating prospect lists for targeted campaigns, conducting webinars, teleconferences, and tracking the results from social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

To understand the relevance and importance of American Sign Language (ASL) in a business setting, first, one must understand some commonly misunderstood points. ASL is a unique language with a set of grammar rules and an extensive vocabulary. Also, English is not a requirement to know ASL. If your primary language is ASL, you very well may not understand English. In other words, this assumption is like expecting any given American to be fluent in Russian or another foreign language. They are different languages; it is as simple as that.
What does this mean for you? If you are a business owner with deaf employees, know that although they know ASL, this does not mean they understand English. Some may be surprised to know that this includes writing notes back and forth, emails, employee handbooks, newsletters, closed captions, and even reading lips. Business leaders must accommodate their deaf or hard-of-hearing employees in fulfilling ways.
What should I do? ADA law requires that business owners ensure that communication with people with disabilities is equally effective, as is communicating with someone without a disability. These accommodations may look like having an ASL interpreter for spoken English or an ASL Translator for written English. Also, Managers may hire ASL translating services for company websites and documents.
What are the benefits? At the root of many problems, poor communication causes a significant amount of pressure and discomfort. Making communication a priority in your business has an overwhelming effect. Improved teamwork, camaraderie, respect, productivity, meeting expectations in the workplace, and continued growth may increase. By supplying ASL accessibility for your deaf and hard-of-hearing employees, you can create a productive workspace.
