Strategies for Supply Chain Leaders on Social Media Platforms!
In today's digital age, a strong social media presence can significantly boost a Supply Chain executive's standing within their company. This strategic move can lead to increased responsibility, more leverage during promotions, and even salary increases.
To establish a professional brand on social media, it's crucial to create a polished profile, complete with high-quality images and examples of work or presentations. This not only showcases your expertise but also presents a refined and approachable image.
Consistency is key when it comes to posting on chosen channels. Regular activity helps in developing content that could be of interest to other professionals in the field. However, it's essential to prioritise the quality of engagement over the quantity of views or other metrics.
A strong personal brand can become an integral part of a professional's work routine. It can help position a Supply Chain executive as a thought leader in their industry, connecting them with new potential suppliers and strategic partners.
For executives, being active on social media can also help raise their company's profile as an employer, making it more attractive to potential talent. A strong social media presence can even make a Supply Chain and Procurement executive a more attractive candidate for employers and recruiters.
Writing out opinions about industry topics can also lead to the discovery of new ideas. However, it's important to approach these discussions with thoughtfulness and professionalism.
When choosing one or two social media channels, it's strategic to set clear goals. LinkedIn, for instance, is ideal for networking and personal branding, while Twitter is best for industry news. Some fields may also have dedicated social media networks.
Video content can have great engagement, but it may require developing video skills or hiring outside video producers. Regardless of the format, it's important to re-post interesting articles with a comment, ask for best practices, solicit advice, and highlight people in your network or company.
Engaging in social media can lead to attention from professionals, even if not every post receives a "like". To gain the most benefits from social media, it's important to be strategic about your goals and choose one or two channels based on those goals.
