Overall message I would like for you to leave with this morning is this ~ Facebook is about connecting & is a venue to be authentic (be yourself, be honest) ~ do what you know how to do, what you are good at, what you live/breathe, what fires your passion & by all means throw out that old hard sales pitch!

3 Main Points For You To Take Away from this Session 1. Facebook is a marketing tool (but can't
be treated like traditional marketing). Using Facebook as a marketing tool is simply Relationship Marketing moved onto the web
• Facebook is marketing, PR, customer service & being human combined into one tool/platform. It helps to grow Your Community (ie potential client base)
