Top 6 Tools To Take Your B2B Social Selling To A New Level

We live in a digital world, and this world highly values how brands present and market their services and products. The way a business presents its offers can make all the difference when it comes to generating sales and winning people’s trust.

For a business to stand out online (especially in the B2B sphere), one has to provide a customer-centric experience that is personalized to a good extent and still true to the brand.

To achieve this, marketers have a wide array of tools they can use. As a matter of fact, along with publishing valuable and engaging content, using social media tools is one of the best most effective social media marketing tips for success on TikTok, Instagram, and other networks.

Let’s take a look at some of the best B2B social selling tools. These tools should find a place in your arsenal of tools that will come in handy when approaching prospects.

 

ZoomInfo ReachOut

ZoomInfo is a well-known company in their industry and it takes special pride in its comprehensive B2B database. ZoomInfo offers platforms that put sales and marketing professionals in the position to identify, connect, and engage with qualified prospects.

When it comes to ReachOut (ZoomInfo’s tool), this social selling tool comes in the form of a Google Chrome extension.

ReachOut allows users to simplify the social prospecting process. Once the extension is installed, the user gets access to a prospect’s direct phone numbers and email addresses gathered from ZoomInfo’s B2B database. This happens as soon as the user views the prospect’s LinkedIn profile.

ReachOut makes it convenient for users to integrate B2B data into their existing workflow. When a user opens the plugin while viewing a LinkedIn profile, they get to export the prospect to Salesforce, Outreach or send them a direct email with a few clicks.

All of that makes this tool a very good fit for recruiters that are active on LinkedIn.

However, keep in mind that even though ReachOut is one of the best tools of this kind available today, ZoomInfo prices have gone up recently. If you own a startup or don’t have sufficient budgetary resources, you might want to look for various ZoomInfo alternatives which are more affordable but still do a good job.
