mentions tab and be friendly.

friendly tweet. Try and personalise the tweet if you can. It’s all about
building relationships.

are based. This is especially great for local companies looking to target local followers.

5. Monitor customers who are looking for help
If you’re using a social dashboard to control your accounts, you can set up a keyword stream that helps
you find leads. Search for users who tweet your keyword and ‘help’ or ‘support’ and jump in to save the day with your
superhero powers.

6. Monitor your successful keywords
Following on from point 5, set up keyword streams for your most
successful keywords. Once these streams are in place, you will see which users are interested in specific topics, even if you
aren’t following them. Follow these individuals to showcase
your brand.

7. Take a look at your client’s recent tweets
See what your clients were tweeting about before you speak to them. By engaging on a personal level,
you will find it easier to have a conversation with your clients. Did they mention that they were
heading out for lunch? Ask them how it was and if they had a cheeky desert.

8. Follow people who have interacted on your site
Target users who have interacted with your pricing page or have viewed your products on your website. This may be tricky
without the correct tools, but try using Google Analytics to track where your contacts are based.

9. Gather positive tweets and use them as testimonials
New clients take on board the opinions of other people, over your own opinion. Favourite your most flattering tweets and consider embedding them on
your website.

strategy or follow up with a lead in a different way. And see if there are any types of tweets
that you could start posting.Again, set up a stream on your social
dashboard that includes your competitor’s names.
