DESCRIPTION

There is a lot of noise around the topic, and even more criticism on its usefulness and effectiveness for businesses. On the other hand, there are a lot of what I call ‘social believers’ who are determined that social media will help businesses to solve all their problems and help them to reach all their business goals. Unfortunately, a lot of these people are suffering from the so called ‘Shiny Object Syndrome’.

Remember, social media is like a cocktail party You have two ears and one mouth; use them in that proportion. Look for shared experiences Don’t force it Answer questions when you’re asked. When it's your turn to talk, they'll actually be ready to listen Talk about the other person more than you talk about yourself. Pic: tumblr.com
