Your Social Network Is Completely Useless To You!

Posted January 31, 2014

That’s a ballsy statement but I still stand by it!

It’s useless to you if you do what too many people are doing.

Collecting names and doing NOTHING!

No interacting

No sharing

No Commenting

In fact nothing that would lead you to believe that the first word in Social Networking is. . .

SOCIAL

And if you’re not being social with your social network, how do you expect to move that relationship off your computer screen and into real time?

Note: “Real time” is this awesome place where people have real conversations on an ancient thing called a “phone” or engage in an ancient ritual called “meeting people face to face”. I know, cutting edge sales technology to say the least!

Call me crazy, but I’m thinking that kind of  stuff magnifies your efforts and opens opportunities that, quite frankly, you’re in need of!

A while back, I offered a really cool free report, showing you how you can generate at least 3 additional phone appointments each week via your social network. If you haven’t taken advantage of this, now is a really good time by clicking here.

A few weeks ago, I offered a free audio sales lesson on how to transition your social network off your computer screen. Did you listen to it? And just in case you’re playing the “I don’t have time” card, why wouldn’t you download it and listen to it during your drive/air time? Click here and stop with the excuses!

Some of you are waiting for this social networking stuff to go away and it isn’t.

Others are scared and I get that, because I was too when I first stuck my toe in the water in 2008.

Some of you just “don’t get all this social networking stuff” and as I’ve said before . . .

Nobody cares what you get . . .

They (your customers and prospects) care that your show up where THEY choose to show up.

And speaking of “Showing Up” the following should really piss you off . . .

There are people, right now, in your industry, who have the equivalent of 15 minutes worth of experience. Your expertise could dwarf theirs in your sleep and yet . . .

They are capturing the attention of your prospects and clients. Why?

Because they show up!

I’m hoping this is the year that some of you will start showing up with your network.

Putting your head down and remaining silent isn’t much of a strategy.

I work with individuals and organizations to sell more!
