Social Media Marketing For Professionals
Social media has become an ongoing,
fluid, real-time marketplace for
information, collaboration, referrals
and business deals.
As a Professional Service Provider who counts on client referrals,
word-of-mouth endorsements and extensive networking, you can’t
afford to not be part of the conversation.
Online is on
strategy
Lets face it. Professional Service Providers are not always known as
“early adapters.”

For example, attorneys historically have disliked the idea of “advertising” to promote
their professional business. It was not so long ago that law firms were even
reluctant to join the ranks of businesses with a website. It’s hard to believe now, but
having a website seemed like a bold, stand out move in the recent past.


Today, law firms, CPA firms, and others simply can’t exist without a website, and the
richer the content and more elaborately the site is produced—the better.


What seemed “out there” a few years ago for the professional industries is a “must
have” today.
So what’s next and how do you
get ahead of the curve?

Today, social media holds incredible opportunities for professionals to increase their
network of colleagues, improve revenue, expand your voice in the community and
more easily reach out to client prospects.
Tweet.

It's good for
business.
Tweet. Chat. Update. Link. Blog.




Every one of these social media venues provides an incredibly cost-
effective way for professionals to support word-of-mouth marketing efforts,
generate business and stay ahead of the competition.
But we understand that word “social media” tends to make you
squirm. And right now, you’re probably in one of two camps:


   “I didn't know I needed help with social media, because I didn’t know I
   needed social media in the first place.”


   Or:

   “I thought I was using social media correctly, but I know I’m not really taking
   advantage of all the ways to put it to work for me. And furthermore,
   I don’t have time for this anyway.”
Either way, we have got you
covered.
The Friedman Group offers
Social Media Marketing
specifically tailored to the needs
of professionals.
Translation?
Dude, this is not your average
Social Media company.
We understand your reputation, image, and credibility are on the line.
We are dedicated to using social media in a way that best reflects your
professional image as well as your personality.

We develop quality partnerships with professionals to:

• assist you in harnessing the power of social networks in a way that aligns
with your brand
• make sure the task of managing your online presence doesn’t interfere
with your regular workload
• help you see a positive Return On Engagement on your social media
investment.
We’ve been in your shoes.
That’s why we never want you to misstep in the marketplace.


We understand the nuances of your profession. Our company president is
a lawyer. We know how to use social media to provide precisely the voice
and presence you need in the marketplace.

• we help you use social media to provide a unique addition to your current
marketing program that positions you without the more blatant
“advertising” feel of other mediums.

• we facilitate the use of social media as a neutral third party to credibly
share and spread the word about your skills, achievements, experience
and offerings.
We don’t tweet and leave.


Once you are up and running on the social network(s) best suited for your
needs, watch as your online presence grows as engagement increases
with your client prospects, colleagues and referral sources.

• You can concentrate your time/billable hours on your core competencies

• You can be confident you have engaged a company continually
researching and mastering emerging technologies and social media.

• You know you have received customized solutions for you and/or each
individual in your firm. From project inception through implementation and
beyond, you can be confident you have a solution tailored to your unique
needs.
We’re there for you when they love you. And even when they don’t.



Once you are engaged in the social media conversation, sometimes the
tone can take a turn you don’t anticipate. After all, social networks are all
open to both pro and con discussions. You can have confidence that
material needing redirecting, or inappropriate content that needs correcting
will be handled. You are in control of your brand every moment.
The return on engagement in social media is measurable and
long-term.



As an example of social marketing ROE vs. traditional marketing, consider
this: investing in a dynamic LinkedIn profile reaches across the nation
and around the world and is available 24/7 for an unlimited
timeframe. In contrast, an ad placed in the local paper has a short life
span, is seen only by a limited readership, is not searchable online and
cannot easily be shared with others.
• Facebook has more than 1 billion active users, each with an average of
130 friends and roughly 50% of those users log onto Facebook every
day.

• According to Inside Facebook, the largest growth is among older users
with those 35-44 years up nearly 400%, those 45-54 up well over 400%
and those 55-65 up over 550% year over year.

• The same large numbers and growth are true for LinkedIn. Well over 50
million people are part of LinkedIn today and it has become the
strongest site for working professionals - allowing people to position
themselves as they choose and helping them get found by others and
search for those they wish to connect with.

• All 500 of the Fortune 500 are represented on LinkedIn. In fact, 499 of
them are represented by director level and above employees.
A blog shouldn’t
be blah.
You can find your inner blogger.

Add a blog to your current website and watch your engagement numbers
increase.

Add a blog for each practice area in your firm and watch the numbers
increase even more.

You will have as much or as little input into blog content as you like.

Blog posts may be posted without you wasting billable hours writing.

The younger members of the firm have an opportunity to shine, while
growing their network and their practice at the same time.
Are you too old? Too young? Too hip? Too square?

The truth is, social media can enhance the reputation of a firm, team or
individual in any career stage.

• It provides an opportunity for boutique and niche firms to position themselves
regardless of the size of their competition.

• It supports young professionals in building their practices quickly by allowing
them to connect with a wider audience at much less cost than traditional
media.

• It supports more experienced professionals and helps expand their network
of referrals and speaking engagements.

• It is perfect for very large firms as it gives a voice to many individuals, makes
the firm more approachable and allows for niche vertical experts within the firm
to talk to their specific target audience in a meaningful and believable way.
The writing’s on the wall.
Well, if it isn’t … it should be.


The time has come where writing on a Facebook wall
or linking up with other professionals online is a
non-negotiable part of your marketing strategy.
The time is now. The right partner for you is The Friedman Group.



Social media should be a part of any professional firm’s marketing plan.
Every day you wait, others are jumping in before you. You are part of a
vibrant, charismatic, dynamic and always changing field. A stagnant print
ad no longer represents the energy and expertise of your industry.

Social media goes beyond “selling” and allows you to create speaking
opportunities online or enhance in-person meetings and engagements by
continuing the dialogue via social networks.
