Networking via Twitter
Having Conversations
Sometimes with no one
Sometimes with everyone
“People do business... with those they like, know and trust.”

‘creepy guy with scotch.’”
“...It's about connection and conversation."
- Scott Stratten, President of Un-Marketing

It’s all about Relevance
Stay on Relevant with PROPPS
Be sharp and “on point” with news and events.
Of other’s views, opinions and ideas
Say what’s on your mind and be authentic.

Even when criticizing, come up with a solution

DON’T!”
