prospects, you are talking with
them.

when researching products or
services.

Social Media, people are more than
willing to share opinions of your
product or service – good or bad.
7. WHERE DO THEY GO?

blogs that align with their
interests because blogs are non-
selling environments.

their search results.

EXPENSIVE AND FEW PEOPLE UNDER
70 USE THEM FOR THEIR INTENDED
PURPOSE.

slap a web site up and call their
internet marketing efforts done.

truth. That’s a very archaic way of
thinking.

engines, directories, social media
sites want to make sure you
consistently have new information

your prospects on their terms.

Twitter, friend you on Facebook or
