From social media to social selling

Editor's Notes

  1. From online conversations to conversions
  2. Social Sites are complementary to what the travel agent is already doing
  3. Social Selling is recognising the change in the buying cycle, how it is controlled by informed and highly connected consumers who conduct their research online and source out peer reviews before committing to a purchase.
