Getting in isn’t your biggest challenge, it’s what to do once you get access

The three C’s of social interaction

• Content

• Context

• Connection

• I don’t care about you

• I don’t want to come to your castle

• I will collaborate and share what I have in common with others


Social is not any one thing…


Remember

• This is not a fad, this is the greatest thing to happen to this business in a long time

• Social is a way of being

• Be in command, because you cannot be in control

• Content, Context, Connection = Engagement

THANK YOU!
