8. Caring and Authenticity
âAt its core, social media requires that business leaders
start thinking like small-town shop owners.
Theyâre going to have to take the long view and stop using
short-term benchmarks to gauge their progress.
In short, business leaders are going to have to relearn the
ethics and skills our great grandparentsâ generation used in
building their own businesses and communities.
Only those that can figure out how to mind their manners
in a very old fashioned way and do it with authenticity are
going to have a prayer of competing.â
From The Thank You Economy, March 2011

You read about social media on NYT. And Fast Company. Oh, and in a Harvard Business Review article.That young guy in your office wonât stop talking about social media.You tried Facebook for six weeks but no one came into your store.Your kids told you to do it.
Typically people say Facebook and a blog and maybe Twitter. Cool. Thatâs what everyone thinks. Actually, social media is way, way more than just Facebook and a blog.
One way to think about social is to compare it to Traditional to see what Social is⌠and what it is not.1. Not Shouting -> It is having a Conversation/Dialogue with your client2. Not just Transactions -> It is building Relationships/Caring about our customers3. NotPersuading/Convincing/Lying -> It is being Transparent/Authentic, being real4. Not Selling to People -> It is ncouraging people to want to Buy from you

Evolution of social1. Door to Door Salesman (personal)2. Town square, department stores, shopping malls (still personal)3. Big box (largely anonymous)4. e-commerce (completely anonymous)5. Social Media (itâs personal again!)
Like the door to door salesman on your grandmotherâs front porch, weâve come full circle.1. Back to basics -> caring for your customer2. Caring with an audience -> withthousands of people watching3. Transactions with context -> relationships, people buying local, buying from people they know4. Breaking the media monopoly -> Giving the voice back to the people
