  • LinkedIn and Twitter as Biz Development and Engagement Tools
    There's lots of buzz around social media marketing. The question of the hour is: How do you quantify ROI of time spent? Social media naysayers argue "there are no likes in my bank account." If you are spending valuable time on social media channels such as LinkedIn & Twitter, I encourage putting together a system of accountability in place to measure ROI.
    On today's show we'll spend time with Valarie Sparks discussing a social selling strategy to generate new leads and keep current clients engaged. The end result will be getting in front of decision makers faster and existing clients calling you, instead of the competition.

She is a top producing sales professional first, and a marketer second. Her social selling techniques ensure ROI on precious time spent via social media channels such as LinkedIn and Twitter.
