I introduced a “from the vault” LinkedIn Live episode of Social Media Pie featuring my 2020 conversation with Mic Adam about building a simple social selling routine that creates relationships and conversations. Mic, a Belgium-based B2B social media consultant with a long sales and marketing background, defined social selling as a salesperson’s approach for reaching prospects, adding value, and ultimately driving sales (distinct from social media marketing). 

He broke an effective routine into three daily priorities that could fit into about 15 minutes: grow your network (add people you meet and use personalized connection notes), keep your network warm (proactively message contacts and ask questions to spark replies), and stay visible by posting consistently—ideally once per day at a tested best time. 

We also discussed repackaging older posts, tips for students building networks, and the value of warm networks during lockdowns.
