All Work and No Play on Social Media Makes YOU a Boring Person!

By

I became friends on Social Media with a gentleman I met briefly at a conference a while back. After we’d been Facebook friends for about 6 or 7 months, I realized I didn’t know him any better then, than I did when we first met. I didn’t know him because he only posts about his business. On his personal profile, not his business page. Not only is it against Facebook’s terms of service to use your profile as a business, but it’s boring. Posting only about your business doesn’t allow anyone to get to know you. If others can’t get to know you, how can you possibly build relationships so others can know, like and trust you?

Who Do You Think About When You Look At Your Desk?

By

I know … you’re thinking “What a strange question!” But think about it. You know those pens, and mouse pads, and other really cool things you pick up while at a conference or trade show? Those promotional items with the company’s business name and logo on them? The ones that make their way to your desk? I don’t know about you, but I love coming home with a bag full of goodies like that. I can always use a new mouse pad or pen. I’ve still got one of those flat, floppy, rubber jar openers I picked up at a conference years ago.
