Regulatory Compliance Items
• Take Caution – For High regulation industries, social media can be
dangerous when used irresponsibly and communication may be subject to
legal discovery in the event of a lawsuit
• Best Practice – Adopt a social media policy among employees and stick
with it
• Be cohesive with standing company by-laws and Social Compliance items
• Training – Once a policy is adopted, training and coaching is a must;
especially for employees in sales, marketing, and public relations

Bridgeview Getting Social
“I had a realtor referred to me by another realtor and they gave me a deal,
so I hooked up with her on LinkedIn and she just sent me another deal. I love
LinkedIn…two deals from a new realtor within 2 weeks! To be honest, I’m
actually having fun with my job again. Thanks for helping me!”
