Yet, older businesses do not translate what they know to a new medium. If you think of social sites like Twitter as building rapport, you will have a lot better chance when you ask for the sale. It has been said over and over. Loosen your tie, put on some jeans and TALK to people.

I am one of those they get "turned off" by un-sociable direct messages and tweets. I like to feel as if I were meeting that person or business face to face in person. The more personable and trusting you can be to your followers and potential clients/customers the better! Great article.

However, I personally come from a view of it is good to build it in from the start - I often use an example of a firm who had a comment about them along the lines of expecting them not to comment - if that firm was listening in it would have been really easy to have that light touch and start a conversation. Then all of a sudden you are a real connection. And, we all do business with people we know and trust... Claire Hi there

Great to hear these comments: I know I saw a post the other day (I can’t remember the source unfortunately) which said you didn’t need to be social, if you were a business. However, I personally come from a view of it is good to build it in from the start – I often use an example of a firm who had a comment about them along the lines of expecting them not to comment – if that firm was listening in it would have been really easy to have that light touch and start a conversation. Then all of a sudden you are a real connection. And, we all do business with people we know and trust…

I tell my clients this all the time. Customers do not just want to see your ads and specials, they want interaction as well. Be connected to your customers and build a stronger business. Yes!
