Editor's Notes
Here I will introduce myself to the client and recap what it is we are going to discuss here today. I should be personable and relaxed. Make sure that it is immediately pointed out what is going to be discussed here today.
Point out what broad spectrum of uses come in to play when dealing with social media. Explain how connecting with people is key in business. You cannot succeed if no one knows about you. This is a great expansion tool. You can grow your company to worldwide without the use of leads or calls.
Make sure to explain how these overwhelming numbers go to show that many other companies are already using social media, from large to small.
With more and more people using social media, it grows larger and larger everyday. As a company you do not want to miss out on the potential customers, clients, and just all around resources that social media has to offer. Getting on these networks is not hard and requires little maintenance.
The benefits go to show that you can open yourself up to quite literally a “World” of people and opportunities in very little time and requiring no drastic work on your part or theirs. This is a marketing tool that will require minimal investment and possess nearly infinite growth potential.
Make a strong push to show that this is something that will not hurt them in the long run but instead offer an effective and easy to use way to connect with people critical to their business and their company.
