Social media conversations can produce opportunity and business. I see this all the time in Halifax, Dartmouth, Toronto and else where. Why wait? Start a conversation today.
I have been looking at all my conversations on social media lately and checking to see what’s happening from them. Now, I enjoy a great conversation when I have the time. Regardless of who is on the other end, I like chatting and learning new things from others. It’s great to hear form my friends in Halifax, Dartmouth, Toronto and elsewhere.
Make Social Media Conversations Happen
Opportunity can come in many forms. For me, it can even come from a conversation. Let me ask you this question. If I put you in a room full of people, could you come out with an opportunity for your business or someone else? Can you make business happen? I bet you can.
That’s why conversations on social media can lead to opportunity. Now this does not happen all the time. But it should happen some of the time.
Now let me ask you another question. I have been watching my Twitter followers to see if they are creating conversations using their Twitter account. Sadly, so few actually engage others on Twitter. Why is that so? If opportunity can come through conversations, why don’t I see more @Replies and @Mentions in the tweets that I am looking over?
- Is it because we don’t understand the value of a conversation?
- Is it because we feel we are too busy to create conversations?
- Is it because we feel we don’t know how to start a conversation or know what to say?
I am trying to be real with you today. If you are struggling in this area, I want to really help you. If you are not engaging others in conversations on social media, you are missing out on great opportunities to connect and make things happen. Do we really understand this principle?
So what’s our walk-a-way for today? I want you to start 2 to 3 conversations today. Start by saying “Hi”. Don’t worry about creating a business opportunity today. Just practice connecting and starting a few conversations today. We have to get used to doing this. It won’t take a lot of time to do this. Give it a try and let me know what happens.
How do I do this? Start by asking a question or saying “Hi” to someone. The monitor it on your smart phone. When they reply, please take a moment to reply back. I know you can do this.
Remember, I am cheering you on. Say “Hello” today to someone and see what happens. I bet it will open a door of opportunity for you. “You can do it”. Now go and do this right now. Don’t hesitate. You will be pleasantly surprised.
