Social networking as we all know has hit the big time. Personally, we are fanatics of Facebook, Linked-In, and Twitter. I know there’s millions of others, but these 3 take up quite of bit of attention as it is I can’t imagine adding another to the mix. The point of this post is we began on the “Big 3” (my apologies to the 2008/09 Celtics for lifting that monikor) to network on behalf of our business, Pole to Pole Consulting (www.poletopoleconsulting.com). Needless to say the experience to date has been awesome. So much so, that we recently collaborated and closed a nice-sized deal with a contact found off Twitter!!!
If you had asked me ahead of time which of the 3 would yield the most business potential, Twitter would be last. My Linked-In connections have provided awesome ideas and we have a couple things in the works, but believe it or not Twitter has really surprised me. Facebook is nice, but without paying for advertising I’m not sure it has enough upside to reach more unknown people than Twitter.
But enough of us, I’d like to hear your stories. Any successful (or unsuccessful) business dealings forged on the “Big 3” or any social networking site for that matter? Do share, por favor …
