Our thought leaders shared proof points to validate their insights: 98% of sales reps with 5000+ LinkedIn connections achieve quota (Sales Benchmark Index); 80% of social introductions generate a sale (DSWA); 72.6% of salespeople using social outperformed peers (Social Media and Sales Quota Survey); and 61% of US marketers use social media for lead generation (IBM). Today, to cap Season 1, we’ll look back at 2015 and ahead to 2016 with our experts from the debut episode.
