What is the best social platform for B2B?

Okay, so you wanna know the best social platform for B2B, huh? That’s a question I’ve wrestled with myself, believe me! You know, trying to figure out where to spend my precious time and energy to actually get results.

Okay, so here’s the deal, and this is generally what everyone says, including the “experts”: LinkedIn is usually your best bet.

I mean, you could try Facebook or Instagram. I’ve even dabbled. I mean, who hasn’t tried to leverage every possible channel, right? I even saw my cousin selling insurance through Facebook. However, for B2B, LinkedIn is where it’s really at.

Why? Well, it’s all about the mindset, isn’t it? People on LinkedIn are there for professional networking. They’re looking for jobs, partnerships, industry insights… basically, they’re primed to be receptive to B2B stuff. You’re way more likely to actually drive targeted traffic and generate, like, real leads because of that super focused environment. Think of it this way, you’re trying to sell Accounting software: would you go to a cat video page or a discussion about the newest accounting laws?

With Facebook and Instagram, it’s so easy to get lost in the noise and let’s face it, people probably aren’t thinking about their business needs while scrolling through vacation photos, are they?

So yeah, LinkedIn. Not always the sexiest platform, maybe, but it definitely delivers the goods for B2B. At least, that’s been my experience, anyway! What do you think?
