With social media, we can join conversations previously hidden, but what we need is the same as ever: a way to reach you – the places you metaphorically live, the clubs you frequent, the places you hang out, the company you keep. 02 conversion rate – I don’t think so! and hope for a.02 through a new channel.

While my social media speaking engagements vary enough that I alter my material quite a bit from event to event, there is definitely a batch of one liners that I tend to incorporate. Event attendees often ask me if I have them written down, and I never have, until now. They are either memorable, instructive, or both (hopefully).

Sure, social media is rooted in conversations, and listening to your customers and then responding on the social Web is a pillar of social media. But, it's not all conversational. Messaging you deliver to your audience that creates conversations, rather than stems from them. link] Samuel Fagan Great post.

With the initiative for Facebook to be open and to empower businesses to host pages that celebrate their business, offering deals and giving the community the ability to converse directly with the business or entity these pages represent, you forgot about accountability. Where Did My Facebook Page Go? and I felt the same way as you did.

Never Heard Of It This is of course a situation that is most acute in B2B, where White Horse found that 60% of companies either have low executive interest in social media, or have modest interest but a lack of education. If anything, social media is MORE important for B2B companies than it is for B2C companies. This makes no sense.

I refer to it with my clients as adding value to the conversation. There aren't any short cuts to adding value or adding to the conversation: it takes time, some creativity and dedication, but it is well worth it if valued in relationship and loyalty. It's good karma, good will, but mainly just a genuine act of service.
