Once again I was welcomed back to the office by an unexpected surprise via an email message from a local business owner inviting me to an event. This person learned of one of my particular interests through a social media site, and reached out to me.
The fantastic thing about it was I was planning on contacting him this week after learning about how many common interests we share. Despite both being highly involved in the business community, we had not yet met in person.
Like most things in life, social media is not a “Silver Bullet” that will immediately pay off with thousands of new contacts, prospects, friends, etc. However, like anything worth having, a little effort applied on a consistent basis will start to open doors and pay dividends in fairly short order.
I encourage you to explore the possibilities and start reaching out to people you may not know. Feel free to start with me. I’d love to learn more about you. My social media contact info is listed on my author profile page. Looking forward to making your acquaintance!
