Social media has taken over as the number 1 way in which individuals and businesses communicate who they are and what they do. Gone are the days where you meet a possible client and you take the steps necessary to qualify them. Then when they don't qualify you jump onto the next client. The problem with that theory is that if they don't qualify now how will they in the future? Today we must educate our potential clients long before they ever need or want our products and services. Because this I know for fact, if you don't educate them about what you do, someone else will. Here are some additional facts about Social Media, Did you know?
-
44% admitted that they have recommended products in Social Media
-
46% of Facebook users talk about or are recommending products on the 500 million strong social network
-
Social Media already accounted for 88% of all information searching in early 2010
-
30% claim they wished to learn more
-
27% reported that they were receptive to receiving invitations for events, special offers or promotions
-
25% stated that they visited a site after learning about a product on their social network of preference
This is just the beginning. You see, the more you know the more proactive you can be to this enormous shift that is happening. The biggest challenge I see today in any business is thinking that this is just a fad. Let me just share this with you, Facebook alone has 500 million users. To put that into perspective for you: If Facebook was a country, it would be the 3rd largest country in the world today. Estimate reports say that by the end of 2013 Facebook will be at 1 billion users.............Some fad right??? Don't be left behind.
