The Talk
You may think your clients and prospects don’t use LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter or YouTube. What if they already turn to the Internet before deciding who to trust and hire?
Can they find you?
Don’t you routinely use Google searches to explore before you act? It’s dangerous to think your ideal clients are different. Maybe you’ve decided to turn social media into a competitive advantage. How do you proceed?
Countless “experts” are ready to spend your money. Before you hire one to support your online marketing strategy, learn from the experiences of fellow members Roger Thorpe and Promod Sharma. While neither is a social media expert, both have experimented. They will openly share what they now know.
Will You Be There?
Interested? To help with logistics, please let Val know by filling out the Selection of Workshops sheet. It's due by noon on April 11 (Monday). Also, can you RSVP
on LinkedIn?
