Four Zones of Engagement
1. Avoid the frontal assault – don’t be a chump, always be helpful
1. Be personal and authentic
1. Always respond with a smile…no matter what. You do not control the conversation.
2. Always in public…build the echo chamber. Go off-line when the time is right.
3. Always transparent…both good and bad. Your advocates will stand up for you.
4. Point them somewhere like Facebook, Linkedin, or a user community that you host. You want them to connect & share….even about things unrelated to you.
5. “Amplify” others through your channels to help them build their personal awareness & credibility…you become a promotion engine for your customers & prospects.
