Social selling training teaches you to spot the right people, approach them without pushing, and stay present until a conversation becomes possible. At Valorize, it does not stop at LinkedIn.
We treat digital connection and face to face meeting as one method, and we use LinkedIn as much to understand an account as to be seen in it. The method then changes with what you are after: prospecting, building credibility, staying visible to the right people, or protecting an account that today rests on a single contact.
Two days of active work, but spread over four to five months: one full day, then two half days set apart, plus about an hour of individual coaching per participant. What anchors the habit is the spacing, not the volume. A development lab, not a classroom.
A network kept alive online with no real contact stays a list of names. A meeting that leaves no digital trace is forgotten within weeks. Separated, both halves fail the same way.
Social Selling works the digital half: spotting, approaching, staying present between two meetings. Connect Sphere works the physical half: preparing a meeting, holding it, turning it into a relationship. The two modules follow each other naturally, and many teams combine them in one journey.
LinkedIn is as much a listening tool as a broadcasting one. Most training treats it as a channel to publish on: a profile, posts, invitations. That is its least profitable half. LinkedIn is first of all a source of intelligence on the ecosystem of your clients and prospects: who just arrived, who just left, who was promoted, which functions actually exist inside that account, what the company is announcing and what it is hiring for. This is public information almost nobody takes the time to read.
A salesperson who walks in informed does not ask the same questions, and does not carry the same value in the eyes of the person across the table. Inside an existing account, this is also what lets you see the decision unit shift before it costs you.
The social selling training is delivered on site, in Belgium or abroad, remote or hybrid, in English, French or Dutch. The journey runs over four to five months: one full day, two half-days and about one hour of individual coaching per participant, so that new habits last.

Social selling training teaches you to use professional networks, LinkedIn first of all, to spot the right people, become known to them, and keep the relationship alive over time. At Valorize it covers the listening side, understanding an account and its market, as much as the contact side. Two days of group work spread over four to five months, plus about one hour of individual coaching per participant.
No, it extends it. A network kept alive online with no real contact stays a list of names, and a meeting that leaves no digital trace is forgotten within weeks. LinkedIn is what you use to prepare a meeting, and to stay in touch afterwards. That is why our Social Selling and Connect Sphere modules answer each other.
Being active on LinkedIn is about far more than publishing. It is first of all an observation post on your clients, your prospects and their market, and a light contact channel, less intrusive than a private message and less easily buried than an email.
There is no honest answer in weeks. It can be very fast: you look at someone’s profile, and the next day that person sees one of your posts go by. It also depends on algorithms, which change without warning. That is also why we spread this module over four to five months rather than two consecutive days: between sessions you practise on your real accounts, and the next session corrects.
What stays true: a few minutes often beats one big push. It is a marathon, with sprints that produce results along the way.
That is also why we work with specialised practitioners rather than generalist trainers. Someone who practises the subject every day brings the current tricks into the room, the ones that produce the fastest impact, and adapts them to each participant’s priority instead of running through a fixed programme.
Because three things are missing: the skill, a rhythm, and follow-up. LinkedIn is used as a hard-selling channel, or not at all. And when the salesperson arrives at a prospect, they were on nobody’s radar. The module teaches how to network without selling, how to target and stay informed with AI tools, and how to become credible before the first contact, recognised as an expert in an industry or a problem. For the rhythm to hold, it has to be built into the daily routine and connected to the rest of the sales process. This is what we call the gearing: your people, your processes, your methods and your tools driving each other, with as little friction as possible. We work on this part separately, in advisory, before the training or after.
By seeking to be found rather than to sell. The salesperson who publishes about their industry’s problems, comments with relevance and keeps a regular rhythm becomes, for their targets, someone credible even before the first contact. The day they write, they are no longer a stranger. The module works on that rhythm, on targeting the right people, and on using AI tools to stay informed about what is moving on their side.
By being visible where they look, on the subjects that concern them. A prospect checks who is writing to them: a clear profile, positions on their industry and its issues, a few public exchanges with people they know. All of that is built with method and a rhythm, not with volume. The module teaches how to choose your subjects, keep the cadence, and follow up every conversation opened so that it comes back into your sales process.
