Is Social Media Killing Your Business?
Or Have You Used It To Build Live Relationships?
Facebook, Linked-In, Twitter among others are incredible tools for building connections and disseminating information, but there is no substitute for live human engagement. In the most connected age the world has ever seen it could be argued that the technologies that were designed draw us together have in many ways actually driven us apart.
More and more people are hiding behind technology and building a network of virtual friends at the expense of real live relationships and their people skills are deteriorating. John Jantsch over at Duct Tape Marketing had this to say:
” Some small business folks equate busy with business. The problem with social media usage is it can keep you really, really busy, without producing a dime of business.”
Harnessing Social Media can be a great thing (I’m using it right now) but it can’t be a substitute for live human relationships. Listen in to this lively spot on News Talk 980 and News Talk 650 as I go on air with John Gormley Live to talk about just that!
