your services, it’s because they

don’t recognize your value.

What most companies think

1. When we get started, people will show

up

2. Well, we gave it a couple months, and

no one showed up, so let’s quit

The Reality

• It takes at least SIX MONTHS before

you will start seeing any demonstrable

results and success from your blog

The Fundamentals

• Listen first

• Be responsive

• Be honest

• Provide value

• Sell last

Remember

• Social media marketing is about building

relationships, not receipts. The receipts will

come, but only if you invest the time and

attention it takes to build relationships with

your customers. Think lifetime value, not

sale value
