If your sales team is engaging prospects via social, they need to be informed. If HR is recruiting via social media, the team needs to be informed. Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location) – Internally, face-to-face is the best. Via social media, however, a 1:1 conversation is best.

This is a great way to spark interest in what you post and to have them participate in a conversation. Then, for those who engage, be sure to give them a “follow” or a “like” from your account. Not only will this keep your followers coming back for more, but it will also attract new people who will want to be part of the discussion.

Most parents seemed to (somewhat) understand how to have the sex and drugs conversations with their teens, but rock and roll was an entirely different story. So what does this have to do with social media? I’m pretty sure that social media has replaced rock and roll as the complex issues facing parents, today.
