Misconceptions���
Point Blank ���
Benefits vs. Risks���
Are You Still Listening?���
Think of social media as a blend of a contact database & !CRM system that feeds you with a stream of news & updates
about your clients & prospects!
Business cards are so 1990.!!
“When you link with people, like people, follow people, photo with people, “bump” with people, and tweet what is said, all of a sudden the business card becomes relatively irrelevant…and with this
exchange we receive 100 times more information than what could ever fit on a business card.” !!
– Jeffrey Gitomer!
