Do You Respond to Negative Reviews?

Boxing legend Joe Louis once said, "You can run, but you can't hide."   Louis was referring to his opponent Billy Conn in an upcoming title fight. Some businesses believe they can hide from negative Social Media reviews by not responding; this approach will bite you in the butt. The Internet is competitive with potential customers looking for information about businesses they are considering doing business with. Negative reviews can make or break a sale, but unanswered negative feedback can spell doom for a business. Yelp, Trustpilot, Facebook, Bing, Merchant Circle, Yellow Pages, and TripAdvisor are platforms where customers can write reviews. With a click of a mouse, the feedback of a company can be read by millions. At one time, you've probably ordered a product from Amazon it was only after reading the numerous reviews did you make a final decision. Reviews matter, and so does your reply to the customer.  It doesn't matter if a review is positive or negative a

Why Linkedin is Important

-

Linkedin has quickly become one of the most essential tools in a professional’s toolkit. Whether you are a recent graduate looking for your first job, a seasoned executive, or a business, LinkedIn is the perfect platform for showcasing your skills and expertise to a global network of peers, potential employers, or business prospects. 

For those unfamiliar with the platform, Linkedin is essentially a social media platform for professionals. The platform allows users to create a professional profile, connect with others in their industry, join groups and communities, and apply for job opportunities. Think of it as a digital version of a business card or resume. 

The benefits of Linkedin are numerous. Firstly, Linkedin provides a platform for building your professional network. As the saying goes, it’s not what you know, it is who you know. And with Linkedin, you have the opportunity to connect with individuals from all over the world, in all different industries. This can lead to job opportunities, collaboration opportunities, sales, and insights into industry trends.

 Secondly, LinkedIn provides an opportunity to showcase your skills and experience to a wide audience. When potential employers or clients search for individuals in your field, your Linkedin profile will likely show up at the top of their search results. Having a well-written profile with a strong summary and relevant keywords can increase your chances of being noticed.  Not having a Linkedin profile could cause you to slip in the draft rounds.

Lastly, Linkedin provides access to valuable resources and insights. Through Linkedin Groups, you can connect with like-minded professionals, join discussions, and share knowledge. Linkedin also provides access to job postings, industry news, and resources that can help you stay up-to-date with industry trends and advancements. 

In conclusion, Linkedin is a crucial tool for any professional looking to build their career or business. By providing access to a vast network of peers, the ability to showcase your skills and experience, and access to valuable resources, Linkedin has become an essential part of any professional’s toolkit.  If you haven’t already, it’s time to create your own Linkedin profile and start connecting with the world.

Is Time Running Out on TikTok?

The TikTok Social video app was banned on government devices in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, and the US due to security concerns about user data. Afghanistan is the only country to impose a total ban on the app. Some 150 million Americans use TikTok since its release in 2016. In 2018 it was the most downloaded app in the US.  Today on Capitol Hill TikTok CEO Shou Chew spoke before Congress with many calls from lawmakers for the app to be banned. In a five-hour hearing, Chew was grilled, like a Johnsonville bratwurst during a July 4th weekend. Congress members pressed Chew on concerns about the Chinese Communist Party collecting sensitive information on US citizens. To members of Congress TikTok is an issue of national security and protection from China. “To the American people watching today, hear this: TikTok is a weapon by the Chinese Communist Party to spy on you, manipulate what you see, and exploit for future generations,” said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Republican from Washingt

The Three E’s of Social Media

Many businesses and Social Media Managers struggle with what content they should post on their Social Media platforms. It doesn’t matter if it’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, or Linkedin the struggles for some are real. Ask an author and they will tell you about writer’s block, that’s when their creative mind falls into limbo. Imagine parachuting out of a plane at 10,000 feet and all of a sudden you stuck at 5,000 feet just floating in mid-air, horrifying to say the least. During my eight years of working in Social Media, I’ve experienced writer’s block sometimes it comes from the heavy workload of working with multiple clients, and forgetting what day of the week it is. Other times it’s a matter of not executing your Social Media Strategy. Remember that 3-hour video conference call with your client and all they talked about was increasing their sales and promoting their products. It was the same meeting your client told you about what is best for their Social Media a

Social Media and Car Sales

Many car sales staff are living in the  1990s . I'm sure many of you remember the 90s era of big hair, word processors, Sony Walkman, acid-washed jeans, Sony PS1, CD-ROM, and X-Files. Now an electronic tablet is a norm. Beats by Dr. Dre pumps your music, kids refuse to eat cabbage, the Sony PlayStation is in its fifth generation, a thumb drive replaced the floppy disc, and agents Mulder and Scully are now eligible for membership in AARP. The year is 2023, and  Social Media  is the technology that Auto dealerships need to embrace before they are left behind. Social Media is not a fad but a platform that is utilized all over the world. It is safe to say that many people are  obsessed  with Social Media due in part to the current  Digital Addiction  many suffer from.   Pew Research Center  reports that seven out of ten people in the US use Social Media to connect with friends, view news content, and share information. Why aren't more Auto dealerships using Social Media to brand, g
