Blah, blah, blah.. I don’t have time to get involved with all this stuff. Just another thing to do.
By keeping up with what the public is saying, you can respond appropriately or make needed changes if you see a trend. This component alone has saved several companies from situations that could have been a crisis. Instead they responded appropriately online and avoided the crisis altogether. If you get on these sites and start to promote yourself strategically you will able to do things that in the past cost thousands of dollars in marketing. Whether you like it or not, people are talking about you and your company...you need to know what they are saying
It’s here, it’s big, it’s not going anywhere. In fact it’s getting bigger whether you like it or not. Both my mother and aunts in their 60’s and 70’s have a facebook profile.
Social networking is a HUGE communication tool Terrific way for driving traffic to your website. Get the word out to tons of people in an instant. No longer solely about SEO. If that’s all you rely upon you’ll be left behind. . We have Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogging, enewsletters, articles and YouTube
Social media sites are relationship management and visibility enhancement tools
Example – Michelle Silverman All her Contact Information is there Specialization – Real Estate in LaJolla, CA She’s engaging so others are engaging her. She got a client that way, because she was friendly and active. Someone asked to meet with her on Twitter. Case Studies. http://www.interactiveinsightsgroup.com/blog1/social-media-case-studies/
Kendra Brodin – Joint Venture partner – promoted my event to her list and got a new friend Rachael Jayne – Joint Venture partner promoted my product and in one day got 7 new clients Tuck Self – visibility interviewed on her radio program, Ron Alpert – Real Estate Coach - had clients post success on listings sold – got 2 new clients Joe Disalvo – LinkedIn - research and connect with local ceo’s to sell 401k business to Zappos – Customer Service http://www.thebizwebcoach.com/sixsocialcasestudies.pdf
LinkedIn is an important mention
