How to Use Twitter for Business
How to Use Twitter for Business
One of the most popular web services these days is Twitter - a sort of micro-blogging service that allows users to interact in 140 characters or less. Like more traditional blogging, there are a number of people who use Tweets (as Twitter messages are called) to stay in touch with friends. However, there are a number of marketers and sales professionals who are using Twitter for business as well.
When you use Twitter for business, you will find that you are able to forge a connection. With Twitter for business, you will have the opportunity to make announcements about the products and services that you have, to point out great reviews or compliments about your business and - more importantly - to start to build relationships with your customers and prospects.
Not convinced that Twitter for business is something that makes sense for you? Consider this: Twitter is going to allow you to network and make connections - to see what others have on their mind. Twitter is going to enable you to give answers and offer advice, to see what's important to your customers and to understand a bit more about their needs.
Of course, it's also a good idea to think about the way that others use Twitter for business. There's a cafe in Minneapolis, for example, that uses Twitter to connect with customers and to ramp up business on a slower afternoon by offering specials just to their Twitter followers. The more that these followers re-tweet the message, the more business that they are able to do and the more followers they get.
In other words, Twitter for business is going to help you to do more to make a connection with your clients. In just 140 characters, you can be sure that your prospects get a sense of who you are, know what you have to offer and know what other people have to say about it. Twitter is going to let you do more to establish your reputation, to forge relationships and - ultimately - to grow your business.
Marketing and growing a business always requires a bit of progressive thinking and meeting your customers where they are. When you use Twitter for business, you will be able to take advantage of new trends, to reach out to customers and prospects and to focus on showing your customers that you know what matters to them. By making that connection - and always being willing to grow your business - you'll find that you are in a great position to keep making sales and to get others interested in all that you have to offer.

These days, marketing your business means thinking outside of the box. Just thinking that you are going to get the same results by doing the same things you’ve always done is going to allow your competitors to get ahead. Therefore, it is up to you to focus on getting the word out about what you have to offer - and the best way to do that is to go where your customers are!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
