The
tools that we have to connect, build relationships with and add value
for our customers have multiplied exponentially. But underneath all of
the media, the most critical component is that it’s social. During our
time together, we’ll break down some fundamental reasons for building
these long term relationships and then discuss some current social media
tools that you might choose to use. There will be a large portion
dedicated to Q&A, so be sure to bring your questions!
