    In this webinar, Bill McCormick of Social Sales Link will talk about how we can stay socially connected (while practicing physical distancing!) with the power of LinkedIn! We'll take a look how to 'socially surround' our clients and prospects, how to engage with your existing relationships. The live session will be limited to a max of 100 participants, however the on-demand version will be available within 24 hours of the live session.

    We've all heard the new term "Social Distancing" and have felt the impact on our businesses.  With more of us (as well as our clients) working from home, it's become even harder to remain connected to our clients. In this webinar, Bill McCormick of Social Sales Link will talk about how we can stay socially connected (while practicing physical distancing!) with the power of LinkedIn! We'll take a look how to 'socially surround' our clients and prospects, how to engage with your existing relationships: clients, referral partners, prospects and COI's (centers of influence), and finally why a value-centric profile is so important in the current situation we find ourselves in.

    Bill McCormick

    Co-Owner

    Bill McCormick is co-owner of Team Creative Connections, and started in promotional products sales when he and his wife founded their company in 2013. McCormick quickly found the value of LinkedIn, first as a lead generator, and then to increase sales. Since then, they have attributed over $350,000 in sales to utilizing LinkedIn as part of their sales cycle. McCormick is passionate about the power of LinkedIn, and how, when coupled with the power of promotional products, can help distributors find leads and generate sales. McCormick recently joined the team of Social Sales Link, helping both individuals and sales teams leverage the power of social selling to attract, teach and engage targeted buyers.

    Sara Webb

    Owner - InTandem Promotions

    Sara Webb has more than 20 years of industry experience. With previous experiences as a buyer in a completely different industry, she became hooked on promotional products and its possibilities for branding organizations. In 1999, Sara began working in the promotional product industry where her true love for this industry flourished. 

    In 2013, Sara built InTandem Promotions. In her words, “Ever since I can remember, I have been a juggler. Juggling activities, career, family, friends and volunteering. I have learned through all of this juggling that I can do it myself. But it's far easier (not to mention more fun) to juggle with a partner.” And it was on that premise that the InTandem Promotions brand was created.     In owning InTandem, Sara has built not only a personal brand but also the brand of her organization. She is looking forward to sharing her experiences in developing as well as continually building the InTandem Brand Story.

    Every brand, company and organization has a customer experience, whether they invest in it or ignore it. And not every customer is created equal. Customers are much more likely to be engaged with the brands and organizations that go beyond demographics—the brands that understand what they are thinking and feeling and can reflect that in their customer experience. Looking at the end-to-end experience from a customer's perspective could help you or your clients identify an ""aha"" to turn first-time customers into loyal, repeat customers. Join Adara Bowen, director of brand experience for the American Marketing Association, to understand the breadth of customer experience, develop a journey map from the perspective of the customer, and identify opportunities for an improved customer experience and touch points for promotional products.

    Sara Webb

    Owner - InTandem Promotions

    Sara Webb has more than 20 years of industry experience. With previous experiences as a buyer in a completely different industry, she became hooked on promotional products and its possibilities for branding organizations. In 1999, Sara began working in the promotional product industry where her true love for this industry flourished. 

    In 2013, Sara built InTandem Promotions. In her words, “Ever since I can remember, I have been a juggler. Juggling activities, career, family, friends and volunteering. I have learned through all of this juggling that I can do it myself. But it's far easier (not to mention more fun) to juggle with a partner.” And it was on that premise that the InTandem Promotions brand was created.     In owning InTandem, Sara has built not only a personal brand but also the brand of her organization. She is looking forward to sharing her experiences in developing as well as continually building the InTandem Brand Story.
