Berget Sun, 26 Feb 2012 08:24:00 +0000 http://markharai.com/social-media-101-connecting-with-consumers-before-they-buy#comment-2603 Hi Mark, What you're saying is not only true, but I believe that it's crucial for any business. I almost never do business with people I don't like. If I do, their products have to be unique and brilliant (like Apple's products). And even then, I wouldn't buy them in their store, but online (if I felt that I really needed to have their products).  Like I have said before, when I'm out on a restaurant, I usually don't go for the best food, but for the best experience. And to me, the best experience is always related to people and not just the product (food). Hope you're having an awesome weekend Mark. Hi Mark,

I have a commitment to social media for the future of my business, so I make time for it.  Like any form of marketing you do for your business, it requires commitment, consistency and follow up.  Where the time comes from, and whether the that time is a good investment of your time can only be determined by you. I always thought cloning was an interesting idea :P That is easier said then done Lori!

I think that actually gives you an edge, doesn't it? Some people have all the talent and some just have to bust their butt to get to the top! Thanks for leaving your fingerprints here today sir : )  I know your a people person Bill, with some exceptional communication skills.

It’s well said here yet challenging to do well with all the other things involved with running a business and managing a blog etc. How do you balance your time so you are social in social media?

I think there has to be some engagement and if you take the time to get to know people, you can always use this to create other opportunities and/or relationships.  More times than not in my world, they are buying from me; not my company.  Some people in social think they need to build their business platform without being social; it’s all business.
