1 Choose the right platforms

Not all social media platforms are created equal for IT sales. You need to focus on the ones that your potential customers use and trust. For B2B IT sales, LinkedIn is the most popular and professional platform. You can use it to create a compelling profile, join relevant groups, share valuable content, and connect with decision-makers. Other platforms that can work well for IT sales are Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Quora. You can use them to follow industry trends, showcase your solutions, answer questions, and generate leads.

Digital media provides a great opportunity to analyse potential customer behaviour trend and to communicate with them. It is a huge topic and full of details, but general speaking, you need to have the needed digital tools that can help you to search the market, understand your segmentation, potential decision makers job titles, build sales elevator pitch accordignly and start your cold calling and email campaigns to get your potential customers into discovery call and move them to POC stage if they are qualified. Saying it easier than doing it so you need to tune your communication skills, you need to have your budget estimation crystal clear and you need to know your competitive advantage.

Your perfect fit customers are likely spending time every week on LinkedIn already. They are also open to connecting and recieving value from you if you are able to create content that adds value to problems that they are experiencing. LinkedIn also makes it very easy to access their database and proactively find prospects who are a good fit for the products and services that you sell.
