Twittering
with
Cheryl
By CHERyL KInnEy
Communication Strategy Tip #1:
Ever wonder how to start meeting people with the help of social
media? One of my favorite social media tools is Twitter, and here's
one example of how it works for me.
Twitter is a fun networking and relationship-building media site, and
when I ask for help or information on a subject, I often get an answer
right away. But the way to make friends in order to communicate
effectively takes time and a friendly approach, especially if you're
trying to create business connections.
The rules that apply to traditional business interactions also apply.
For instance, when you walk into a networking event, no matter
what size--25, 50, or 100 people--you are there to meet and
greet people. you cannot command people to listen to you. Usually
you walk in and join a conversation, wait to be introduced to a few
people, ask how their day went, and listen. Twitter is a networking
event in which you can participate at any time of the day. To begin
Twittering takes time, thought and the desire to be social. I follow
people who have similar interests. As a result, I have broadened
my thinking with new interests such as Haiku, eco-friendly subjects,
having a balanced life, and ways to save, and the list goes on.
