The document summarizes the shift towards digital and social selling in India. It notes that the Indian workforce, including millennials, are increasingly digital and connected via mobile. Traditional sales approaches relying on cold calls are less effective, while social selling allows salespeople to build trusted relationships by actively engaging with prospects online and helping others. The document uses the example of Shreya, a social salesperson who finds prospects by sharing industry content online and listening to customers, leading to more opportunities and higher conversion rates than traditional sales approaches.
