Are You Using Social Media Correctly?
"This is a great overview of what needs to happen to be successful & I'd add: Before you start, decide what are the targets you are setting out to achieve and by when, this will allow for you to measure against and refine your strategy.

Great points to consider & thanks for sharing,- Niall"5 Steps to Successful Small Business Budgeting

Too many salespeople focus on selling their solution or product, rather than really understanding the challenges their customers are facing."
