It's 2010!
Old methods won't work anymore 
(like Dialing for Dollars).
Successfull businesses WILL wise up before it's too late!
 
How is YOUR Organizational Behavior?  Do your employees support Leadership?  Are you constantly putting out fires?  Do you have a large turnover?  Do you know how to change it?
 
How is YOUR Corporate Culture?  Do new employees gear up for the pecking order?...or Do they feel welcomed and encouraged?  Do you know how to change it?
 
How is YOUR Leadership?  Do you have the skills to lead your employees into a Positive Organizational Behavior?...a positive Corporate Culture?  Do you know how to change it?

For successful businesses, social media is no longer an option.  It's no different than the telephone in its infancy.  There is not a business today that does not use a telephone, yet, there was great scepticism in the beginning.  Do employees still make personal calls at work?  Sure they do, but they do understand that talking an hour with their boyfriend could get them in trouble.  Personal phone time is separate from business phone time.  Social Media is no different.  Employees must be educated with the understanding that when they are at work, social media is a business tool to build a true collaborative infrastructure with the customer at the base.  When they are not at work, social media is for personal expression and interchange.  Do you know how to educate your employees? 

In the world of Social Media,
do you know how
to go from...
Blogging,
Messaging,
Tagging,
Bookmarking,
Forums,
Profiles,
to....
Lead Generation,
Lead Warming,
Lead Qualification,
Brand Awareness,
Engagement,
Customer Service,

The secret is in
education so
that assumptions
do not prevail!

Regardless of your social media involvement, you MUST monitor your online presence in our new world!  One viral video of bad customer service can put your business under.  Consider the video below.  When Dave Carrol flew United Air Lines, his Taylor guitar was broken although it was in a hard case.  He appealed to them on many occasions to compensate him for the loss and they refused, therefore, he recorded the following video and uploaded it to YouTube.  Within four days of the song going on line, stock price suffered a tremendous loss, dropping by 10%, costing the shareholders $180 Million.  This would have bought Dave 51,000 replacement guitars!  They were unwilling to respond to this viral video and they paid dearly for it.  I do understand that there are those who say that United was already in trouble and that this plunge could not be totally attributed to the video...maybe not totally...but you can't deny it's influence.  Even Mr. Taylor of Taylor guitars joined in saying that if the guitar was broken in a hardcase, clearly there was abuse.

With Social Media...
You must talk about more than your products and services; You must connect with the bigger picture.  Do you know how?
 
You can't tiptoe in; worse than not be heard is being ignored.  Do you know how to engage wholesome, competent social media?
