Social Media drives engagement, engagement drives loyalty, and loyalty correlates directly to increased sales.
My friend, mentor and social media relationship expert, Ted Rubin, has a new book with Social Buzz Club’s Kathryn Rose examining relationship marketing as it relates to business and influence. It is available for pre-order on Amazon.
Return on Relationship
In the connection economy, trust and relationships are the new currency. It’s not a soft thing you do in your spare time, it’s the heart and soul of your business. –Seth Godin, Author of Tribes
Is your company currently focused on gaining brand advocates and building its social media credibility? Do you question whether or not using Facebook, Twitter, or blogs is a worthwhile investment of your time and resources? In Return on Relationship, Ted Rubin and Kathryn Rose present real world, practical ideas that will help businesses maximize their potential through using community-focused tools on the Internet. You’ll discover why ‘That’s the way it’s always been done’ will leave you without any customers.
Ted Rubin and Kathryn Rose see eye to eye with me on this. A company that intends to survive in the modern business environment needs to master the art of building relationships of value. This isn’t touchy-feely. This is pure business survival. –Chris Brogan, CEO, Human Business Works, co-author of The Impact Equation
