The Best Sales Reps Aren't on Your Payroll ... And 73% of Buyers Trusts Them More Than You!
They're Creators and Influencers on TikTok, Instagram and other Social Media Platforms.
While you're spending on traditional ads, Creators and Influencers are the ones your customers actually listen to before making a purchase.
Numbers don't lie (see screenshot #1 below)...
We can clearly see that Creators and Influencers have more rizz with Millennials and Gen Z.
Here's the thing: Influencers and Creators aren't just about getting eyeballs on your brand anymore.
They've become straight-up sales machines, especially for younger shoppers who'd rather take advice from their favorite Creator than sit through another ad. No CAP!!
The numbers are absolutely unhinged:
โžค 66% of millennials and a whopping 73% of Gen Z have bought something directly from creators ๐Ÿš€
โžค 58% of millennials and 60% of Gen Z have walked into actual stores IRL and bought stuff because a Creator told them to ๐Ÿš€
Think about it...
Creators have become the new virtual storefronts.
People aren't starting their shopping journey on your website or fancy sales funnel anymore โ€“ they're scrolling through their feed, seeing what their favorite Creators are into, and buying right then and there. Period!
These Creators are part tastemaker, part trusted retailer. They understand the assignment because they control the audience, and will rival Sales Reps on your payroll.
So what's the move for brands?
Stop thinking of creators as just another marketing channel.
Your favorite creator's page IS the new storefront. The journey to "add to cart" starts on your TikTok FYP or Instagram feed, not on some brand's boring website or fancy, techie Sales Funnel!!
Stop paying for posts or shoutouts.
You gotta set your Creators up to sell.
Get them affiliate links, custom promo codes, and their own storefronts.
Treat them like part of your sales team.
But here's the real TOP-GUN-TIP:
This isn't about one-off campaigns.
The magic happens when you build a long-term Creator squad.
A single post feels like a cold call, but a Creator who genuinely uses and loves your stuff over time?
That's real authentic!!
That's RIZZ, baby!!
Their audience believes it, they become true product experts, and that trust converts into sales that last.
It's a complete win-win.
Treat Creators like they're actually part of your sales team, because at this point, they're absolutely crushing the sales front. Fr fr!!!๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ
