Your vision. Is it all just blah, blah, blah?
Ask everyone which they think is the most important
Ask Andy Welch about “Lucy” going on a date with someone new and coming back and saying “I trusted him dad, but I didn’t like him”!
Think about the people in your firm over the last 40 years or even the last 10.
Did the people who caused ‘problems’ believe what you believe?
How do you test for that in your hiring process, we use our mantras
We let staff/peers interview them as well and it’s prevented me hiring muppets on more than one occasion
Talk about our ‘muppet’ test
How do you ‘stand out’ in a bland market place

Social Media is a vital part of the tool kit in terms of client retention. However, to be effective you must look at engagements levels rather than followers etc. in isolation. Social is only a strong channel if you have the right tone of voice and people are actually finding what you post helpful. It is important to think about which channel your post is appropriate to, the time of day you post it and who your audience is.
Increasingly clients are commenting about service online, just like any other comms channel being unresponsive can be very damaging when there is a negative comment and not thanking for a positive comment is also not a good idea. If you think about someone giving feedback on the phone and how you would respond the message and response times should be similar on social.

Other people have different rules e.g. Simon Robinson, employment lawyer at Gunnercooke he will connect with anyone. Some people tag themselves a L.I.O.N i.e. a LinkedIn Open Networker
