With all the fuss about the right social networks to engage in and the most effective online tools to simplify your business life, simply asking the right questions via social media just gets overlooked.
Not to worry. The SalesChaosTV guys, Dan Waldschmidt and Todd Schnick, tackle this avenue for knowledge - and sometimes even more business - in this segment about Questioning Your Way to Social Engagement.
As Waldschmidt points out from his own experience, LinkedIn has a longstanding feature in which you can post questions from users or share your expertise with others by answering questions that they pose. Or create accounts at other knowledge-sharing services like Quora, Mahalo or Focus, among others out there.
People want answers. You can be the expert and although jumping in to sell your services isn't advised, the fact is answering thought-provoking questions with valuable answers certainly is a prospecting strategy in its own right.
