If you’re looking to get more from your Social Media

(like everyone else is) then there are some simple, but critical things that you can do to really stand out from the crowd and start getting results today, not in 6 months time.  Take the time to invest in your Social Media and get it right then compare the disproportionate results your business will attract to the majority of businesses who’ll more likely “wing it”.

1 Ensure that your foundation, the base for your Social Media is set out properly.

Social media allows you to put your business networking on steroids.  That means if you’re doing a great job at building relations and helping others when you go out networking, you’ve just managed to amplify that good reputation.

Conversely, you know those people at networks that you just wish to avoid, the ones who thrust their business card in your face while pinning you to the wall talking about everything they have to offer, without first building any sort of rapport with you, or even finding out what you’re about?

They’re all “Me Me Me, buy from me, I don’t know anything about you, but I thought I’d ask you to put your money my way anyway!” Well if you do that with your social media, you’ll be putting ineffective and off putting tactics on steroids. SPAM!

Not only does that put other people off, but it also gets flagged by the social media platforms and you can have your posts hidden from view or your accounts closed down entirely.  Not good.  A complete waste of your time, and will do your business more harm than good.

So it’s important to get the social media basics and the foundations right.  Choose your platforms, choose to network by offering value, relationship building, be personal as well as professional, help others.  With so many businesses failing to take these simple steps, it means your business can really dominate with success.

5 Pick up the Phone and Follow up.

The purpose of Social Media is to connect with people.  Really fortify these connections with a phone call, arrange to meet in person where you can.  Skype call, video call.  Cement your relations so that people remember you for all the right reasons.

Afraid of the phone?  You’re not alone, there are so many people afraid of picking up the phone in business and talking to someone. Not surprisingly when we’ve learned to loathe “cold callers” that there’s a resistance.

Uncover the 7 Steps to Telephone Success so that you can confidently pick up the phone and follow a proven process that removes that fear of the phone and gets the results you deserve.

6 Combine Networking events with Social Media.

As you meet new people to add to your valuable network, follow up the meeting by connecting with them on Social Media sites like twitter, facebook and Linked In.  Mention them in your networks, they’ll appreciate it.

Networking can be great for business, find the right network(s) for you and show up regularly.  It’s not about making a sale at the meeting, it’s about building a valuable network of people who can connect you, recommend you, joint venture with you and build your client list through more than just buying from you.
