You have heard from the other speakers on Advertising, PR and Networking….Now what?I will talk to you today about: Combining Efforts, Bridging the Gap, Going Public and Networking online.
Our Philosophy is not adopted by too many individuals within the Social Media World, we stick out among the few because we are results driven. Something to look for when evaluating someone who claims to be a Social Media Expert or who does Social Media for clients
To bridge any Gap takes two things, 1) A bridge and 2) a mode of transportation to get from one side to the other.Our bridge is a strategy and our mode of transportation is Social Media. With Facebook having over 600 million users and growing your potential reach is incredible, beyond what anyone ever expected.You have to put in the effort and time for it to work thoguh.
Anything you do I suggest you follow a few steps:ResearchBuild a strategyImplement your strategyTrack ResultsEvaluate
When you meet someone at a networking event, why not look for them on LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter?Is your life so separate that you are one person while networking and another while at home?Or do you not know what to do once you connect with them online?Most people do not move because of fear or a lack of understanding.People are afraid of social media because of a lack of understanding, no one is out there educating people properly.Not every Social Media presenter should be presenting.
The breakfast is a good way to meet a lot of people, they usually approach you.The mixer is really a broad event, many different businesses taking advantage of a free event.Late lunch is a great way to get to know people, it is limited to 50 people so it’s a little more intimate.
I recently went to a seminar where one of the speakers stated, “There are no experts in Social Media.” I would completely disagree. In my opinion for someone to make that kind of a statement they are showing there lack of understanding of Social Media. Just because you are on a Social Network does not mean you are having any impact on your business. There are ways to get results, sales and referrals but it takes skill, strategy and guidance. The experts are only the people who have studied more and have a skill set in a particular field. For example: a doctor is only a doctor because he has studied his or her field more than you.
