Social Selling on the Agenda at Bothnia Green Energy
In today’s digital era, social media has become a tool for companies wanting to reach their customers in a more personal and effective way. The Bothnia Green Energy project therefore offers small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups with energy relevance an opportunity to learn more about Social Selling and how to use LinkedIn as a sales tool.
Bothnia Green Energy is a project aimed at promoting innovative energy solutions in the Kvarken region. By highlighting SMEs and startups, the project strives to create greater visibility and engagement. One of the initiatives is a development program in Social Selling, which helps companies build long-term relationships with potential customers by engaging in their interests and needs.
“Ten companies have just started the program, and we will offer ten more companies the opportunity to participate in the program starting in early February 2025,” says Peter Hedman, project manager for Bothnia Green Energy.
Social Selling as a Way to Build Relationships
The companies participating in the project’s development program receive tools that can help them build stronger relationships, increase their visibility, and improve their sales. By being active on LinkedIn, companies can identify and engage with potential customers and partners in a more targeted and effective way. This can lead to long-term growth and success in an increasingly competitive market.
“By understanding and leveraging the power of social media, participating companies can create a more engaging and successful sales process, which in turn helps promote sustainable energy solutions in the Kvarken region,” says Peter Hedman.
