Social Sales | 10 Social Sales Lead–ership Tips

By Joel York on February 12, 2013

Professional Social Networking with B2B Social Media

Professional Social Networking with B2B Social Media

By Joel York on September 25, 2012

I believe many B2B professionals struggle in their adoption of social media for professional use, because they see it as a marketing platform as opposed to a professional networking tool. However, I think if they really understood the purpose and value of B2B social networking, then they would make the time for it and they would use it well. The is the second post in a series designed to help B2B marketers create better B2B social strategies by thinking in terms of B2B social networking over B2B social media.

By Joel York on September 7, 2012

The term “social media” clouds our thinking about social networking with advertising concepts. In particular, when it comes to B2B social networking, the term “B2B social media” misses the mark entirely.

The secret to success for Social Media? It’s 1.0

By Martijn Linssen on March 26, 2011

In the Search for Social as I call it, people have been mesmerising, stating and claiming success for the Social Movement in various ways.

On Twitter I’m 4 years old

By David Terrar on February 14, 2011

Over the last couple of weeks, I have been trying to gain some kind of control over my Facebook account, meaning I have two distinct pages, one for family only, and one that is more public that I don’t really worry about. The problem was moving people between both pages, and the inability to mass […]

Facebook Cyber Stalking

By Dan Morrill on February 8, 2010

I picked up a couple of Facebook stalkers over the last couple of weeks and have been debating how to handle it. Cyber stalking is not a new thing; it has been going on for a very long time and resulted in broken lives, hurt people, and people who retreat back into their non-internet ways. […]
