What is social selling ?

To me, social selling is simply the process of helping social buyers become customers.

Social selling is when salespeople use social media to interact directly with their prospects. Salespeople will provide value by answering prospect questions and offering thoughtful content until the prospect is ready to buy.

Social selling is the process of developing relationships as part of the sales process. Today this often takes place via social networks such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, but can take place either online or offline.

Social selling is to build strong relationship with customers and ensuring the customers that you always care for them. this process is to promote your product and increase your sale. this is usually done via social networks like Facebook, Twitter linkedIn etc.

I agree with the experts answers. Thank you.

Make use of a selling point/center/portal where the chance of a typical class of customers approach you to gather knowledge of your product; take a buying/no-buying decision...but the advantage is to register the knowledge of the product in the mind of the prospective buyer. Certain festivals/Mel-as/Exhibitions also provide such opportunities ---its intentions are not to make sale outright--but to provide product knowledge and communicate with the mass.

Social selling is leveraging your own professional brand and social network to gather insights and connections, then use those information to help you discover new opportunities, sell, and get business done.  

Social selling is about sales people buildinga strong personal brand and about understanding the role of content on how content can be used to provide powerful and effective story. It's also simply a social connections where in as part of sales , you can easily deliver and tell your customers and buyers to the things that matters to grow their personal brand.
