Don’t Tell a Story, Have a Conversation. The Art of Social Selling

October 7, 2014 in Non-Tech, Social Media

How do you become great at social selling? Don’t try to sell! Can it really be that simple? I am by no means an expert on this topic, so everything you are going to read from here out is purely my opinion and should be questioned 😆 . One of the most overused phrases I hear from “experts” is “You should be telling you’re story through social. That will help you sell you and your brand”. While I don’t think that statement is completely wrong, I think people are missing the bigger […]

June 19, 2014 in Non-Tech, Social Media, Uncategorized

I have found that in life the some of the best opportunities present themselves when you’re not looking for them. Over the past 10 years at Dell I have moved around to a few different teams and even some of those opportunities were just dropped in my lap.

Who’s in Charge of Social?

April 18, 2013 in Social Media

Seems like a simple question right? Aren’t we all in charge of social?  Out there building our personal brand and help establish brand credibility for the company we work for?  But, who’s that person in the background that implements a social strategy for your company, manages all the company social accounts, engages with customers in not only happy conversations but the bad ones as well?  Who is the person that is monitoring trends and exploring new tools? What about implementing social campaigns and analyzing the social metrics to provide the benefits of […]

Where Do I Engage

April 2, 2013 in Social Media

That is one of the most asked questions I hear from people starting their social journey.  There are dozens of social platforms to engage and connect with other people, but how do you use them?  Below is the way “I” see these platforms being used.  photo: greyweed Blogs Blogs in my opinion are generally used to inform.  Take it from the tech space, blogs are used to inform on the latest product enhancements, events, etc.  There isn’t a ton of engagement with readers, because it is usually on a very specific topic.
