If you work in marketing, advertising or the digital arena, now has never been a better time to actually get out there in person and sell yourself and what you company has to offer.
All the marketing agencies and customer facing staff seem to have hidden under the Facebook and Twitter stone trying to connect with other people and be all sociable.
Have you ever noticed or wondered why Twitter is so busy Monday to Friday 9 till 5 ? Everyone who should be working is "gossiping".
I have a client who pounds the streets. He is 25 years of age and in all honesty whilst you piss about and try to experiment with social media and make it pay, he is taking your business away.
There is a huge opportunity for walking up to a prospect in the cold light of day, asking him if he wants a website or more traffic to his website/business and offering him your business card and brochure.
If someone can show me some real tangible business results caused by social media, I'll gladly eat some bumble pie.
