How do you convert your traffic and clicks into prospects, leads, and then actual sales?

Today we're talking about a genius application of your social media skills to increase conversions and actually make money by engaging with your community.

Just because you're crafting great content doesn't necessarily mean that anyone is going to see it.

So first off, how do you get people to consume your content and then buy from you? Or "throw credit cards at your face," as today's effervescent guest, Molly Mahoney (The Prepared Performer), likes to put it.

The Social Sales Shuffle is Molly's three-step guide to rousing your social media profile from its slumber, then creating better online community engagement, then teasing out the business challenges your ideal customer is having, and then presenting your offering as the solution.

It's a myth that our ideal customer is someone we don't know at all. Chances are they are already in your sales pipeline, just waiting for the right time to buy. So making a list of five potential customers and then engaging with them meaningfully on their platform is part one of the strategy to grow your organic reach.

There are sneaky social media skills aplenty from Molly in this episode. For example, how not to let the algorithm assume you're clickbaiting?

From doing research on your prospects to opening up the algorithm by creating engagement on other community pages, the Social Sales Shuffle is a marketing game-changer that you absolutely have to try at home to boost your engagement and turn that member of your online community into an actual sale!

Molly Mahoney is the founder and CEO of The Prepared Performer. She teaches people how to turn their message into a profitable movement by having more fun (and ultimately making more money) without guru marketing or high-pressure sales tactics.

Learning how to perform better in business begins with performing better in front of others.
