How Do I Use Social For Business?

Be yourself

Don’t do or say something you wouldn’t mind sharing with an employer, partner or investor

Customers talk to each other online – a lot

It’s not a commercial

Real photos, custom backgrounds, detailed info

Be yourself

Page 12: brigham april-2012

Control Your Brand Or Someone Else Will

Due diligence on you via social – billboard worthy?

Can you connect with customers?

Talk to people you wouldn’t normally have access to Mark Suster (iActionable intro) Hank Haney (golf tips from Tiger Woods coach) Robert Scoble (introduction to potential partner) Chad OchoCinco (cell phone number) CBR Venture Capitalist ($20M raise) Scott Anderson (Zion’s Bank CEO)

Convinced? Ok, At Least Try…

LinkedIn is a MUST 100% profile complete Use current photo Make sure everything is accurate Get recommendations Actively seek out connections in areas related to interests Investors, employers and partners will check you out here Paid account shows you who looks at your profile Keep it up to date IT IS YOUR RESUME

Activity Equals Influence

Either in or out

Insincerity is obvious

Listen to and talk about/with others

Time – no quick fix, no quick results

Encourage employees to be social, don’t block it!

Social Signals SEO value Rankings Clicks Customers

Takeaways

Social media is not a toy for kids

Partners, investors, employees & customers are there

The great equalizer – influencers can be you

You will need to use it for most businesses

“Realize that the social media success equation isn’t big moves on the chess board, it’s little moves, made every day that eventually add up to a major shift.” -Jay Baer
