"With so many people sharing their thoughts online, it's no surprise that many are talking about

companies. Clearly this presents an excellent opportunity to engage with customers, but many are

missing out.“ - Phil Stewart, director of customer service at Virgin Media Business.

Virgin Media Business said that 20 per cent of the 50 million tweets made every day contain a reference to a product or brand, and advised enterprises that they are 'missing out' by not taking advantage of this opportunity.

Social Media Objections

I don’t have time

I don’t know what I would talk about

I don’t want to learn how

I don’t want the entire world to know about my life/protect privacy

I don’t know how/best practices

I don’t understand how I make money

Twitter/Facebook is for kids, not me

How do I measure my ROI?

I don’t want to lose interpersonal/face time


Social Media AnswersI don’t have time – 3rd party clients, delegate, hire company

I don’t know what I would talk about – 70/20/10 Rule

I don’t want to learn how – have someone else learn in house, hire company

I don’t want the entire world to know about my life/protect privacy – Say what you’re comfortable with – authenticity is key

I don’t know how/best practices – local seminars, ebooks, companies, ask!

I don’t understand how I make money – Building Relationships = Sales!

Twitter/Facebook is for kids, not me – Baby boomers: fastest growing audience on FB. Twitter = 35-49, it’s where $$ is being spent!

How do I measure my ROI? – Track traffic, alerts, Alexa and Google PR, RT’s, testimonials, online sales

I don’t want to lose interpersonal/face time – MeetUp…think TweetUp!
