It s
It’s All About Dialogue
“If you’re not part of the conversation, then
you re
you’re leaving it to others to answer questions
and provide information, whether it’s accurate or
incorrect. Or, even worse, you may be leaving it
up to y
p your competition to j p in to become the
p jump
resource for the community. Yes, there will be
negative comments. Yes, you’ll invite unsolicited
f
feedback. Yes, p p will q
, people question y
your
intentions. Negativity will not go away simply
because you opt out of participating. Negative
commentary, at the very least, is truly an
y y y
opportunity to change the perception that you did
or didn’t know existed.”
