Social Media, undoubtedly, is one of the most important things in our lives today, at least in the lives of urban population and the penetration in rural areas is significant. Social Media has started impacting our everyday life and even the daily routine is being affected, however, measuring if the impact is good or bad will differ from people to people. The characteristics of people using social media are distinct as compared to those who don’t and these characteristics, if understood and applied in real life can yield results for businesses. Individuals have started switching to social media for almost everything from ranting about India's loss in a cricket match to trolling KRK for almost anything that he does, from appreciating the efforts of army to political criticizing and among all these things which has turned out to be a winner is social selling.

And all other questions related to it are answered in the book You Are The Key - Unlocking Doors Through Social Selling written by Apurva Chamaria who works as the global head of Brand and Digital Marketing for HCL Technologies with Gaurav Kakkar who heads the Digital Marketing for HCL. The book addresses various aspects of social media selling ranging from its predecessors evolution to the existing phenomenon of enterprise social selling.
