Vaynerchuk is the 35-year-old New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy. A renowned social media expert, Vaynerchuk will help webinar attendees realize how fully committing to social media is the best way to turn anonymous visitors into acquaintances, acquaintances into customers, and customers into fans.
"Knowing your best influencers in the social realm is a key facet of successful social media marketing. Who are the folks that will connect you to the broadest number of prospects? Who are the people bringing others into your funnel? And who are the ones helping to convert your prospects? Gary's presentation will help you understand the connection between social amplification and winning more business," said Jon Miller, VP of Marketing, Content and Strategy at Marketo.
Most controversially and importantly, Vaynerchuk will show why the objections from old school regimes can kill your business. Attendees will learn:
- Why looking for immediate ROI is "way, way, way too short-sighted"
- Why you will regret giving in to the "we're doing fine without social media" argument
- How the "legal issues" concern has been managed successfully by brands you hear about every day
Ten randomly selected webinar attendees will receive signed copies of each of Vaynerchuk's books.
