Taking the first step – “Connecting business with Social Media”

Taking the first step – “Connecting business with Social Media”

Here is a brief update as to what I have been up to over the last few weeks.

I have just received formal approval to proceed with a Social Media program for one of our products. The program is centered around developing a presence on Facebook through the creation of a product page and an application. Twitter will also be used to stream updates between Facebook news feeds and Twitter.

The main objectives of the program is to:

  1. Provide our members with a central location were they’re able to connect with other members
    By providing our members a central location to connect with other members we enable each of them to create relationships that may in-turn provide concrete business opportunities.
     
  2. Give us the ability to communicate and connect with members
    One of our main challenges currently is to communicate with members on a regular basis.  Facebook and Twitter offers us that ability thus creating more opportunities for us to build relationships with members directly.  Retain and Grow!
     
  3. Acquire new members to the program
    By branding our product page with the features and benefits of the product, we anticipate to attract new members.  Potential members will be walked through a high powered flash demo and then lead to our sign-up form.

  4. Provide an application that aids members to create their own presence within Facebook
    The application will aid existing and new members to create their own presence within Facebook by walking through the process of creating a product page.  It will also provide tips and tricks and how to attract potential customers to their Facebook page.  In essence, we are providing a Social Media program for their business within Facebook.
     
  5. Give our members the ability to promote their products to potential customers within their own profiles
    When existing and new members add the application to their profiles, they will be given the opportunity to list several products or services to a profile badge.  This badge will be seen by everyone within their network of friends giving them the ability to link directly to their product pages or individual business websites.

The program is to begin in July 2009 and will be the first Social Media program associated with one of our products.  I’m excited about the adventure but nervous about what the end result will be but most of all I hope it is well received.  I have a saying that I like to close most of my blog posts with and it definitely applies here “Live your dreams through the eyes of the unknown” and if we don’t take those steps of faith we will never know what could have been.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are 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

(Visit Brian's Website) Improve your Communications strategies, learn from the experiences of Brian Beehler and how you, too, can leverage Social Media to improve employee, stakeholder, and customer communications as well as support your organization�s overall efforts to drive change and achieve results. I�m a communications professional with over 10 years of experience in the private and public sector. I�m currently developing a frame work for corporations to build strategies that involve Social Media. By determining the patterns of a social network, a corporation can build a plan that breaks down the barriers between employees, stakeholders, and consumers. My work within this area will help shape how we communicate within the corporate world. I will share my daily experiences from a social perspective and will determine if the line between personal and professional has become blurred. My blog will serve as an experiment to facilitate connections with people around the world and bring a collective agreement of how we should adopt social media within the workplace and our lives. Follow my blog and build relationships with other social media professionals. As a collective body connecting, collaborating, and cooperating we can �Make the Connections�.
