Notice how EASY this conversation occurred. It's not too salesy (at least not until she revised following your suggestion) but it seems natural. It's like you are sincerely helping people out vs. trying to make money. This is the value of using social media tools to connect on this personal level. Sometimes the conversation is a little less direct, and not as easy to 100% attribute to such tools. Kevin Hood,

I would be a happy man if I never heard the words “brand” or “branding” again. The same thing with “strategic plan” and other big words to make you sound important. I'm sure you'll do a swell job of not over complicating things for your tribe! Colin, I couldn't agree more, and it's a big pet peeve of mine.

Simply participating on social media tends to remind people of what you do. You remain at the top of their minds and when someone needs your service you're remembered. This is a great example of that. People overcomplicate social media with terms like branding and visibility. Simply participating on social media tends to remind people of what you do.

This is a great example of that.

It's a great way to reconnect your online 'network'. Someone can refer you to the right people/places or things! Also, you'd be surprised of the ability of FB to find qualified candidates in this tough economy. Saving HR time and expense since the referrals usually are well qualified. It pays for itself on the front and the back! People need to understand 'value' and 'making money'! Great post Kevin! It's a great way to reconnect your online 'network'.
