8 Surefire Ways To Increase Engagement Facebook According to a survey conducted by The Creative Group, more than 50% of advertising and marketing executives said they expect companies to increase their investment in Facebook this year. Facebook is simple, you update your wall and people will flock to your page and respond, right? That is the dream that every business owner believes before they get started; or that is what they’ve learned from people who claimed to be ‘experts’ in this field. Most of them tend to give up or stop updating their page when they aren’t seeing the results that they want despite their constant updates. Here is the hard truth; people don’t want to hear about your products all the time . Why would they? When they’ve been bombarded daily with advertisements from all possible platforms – from TV, to radio broadcasts, giant billboards, and even while you’re surfing the web. Let’s face it; people don’t come to Facebook to see advertisements. What sc...

5 Tips to Improve Your Follow-Up  Sales Skills While Building  Customer Loyalty POSTED BY:  PROFESSION BIZ Most businesses engage in follow-ups with their exiting customers. Of course, sometimes the follow-up phone call has been months in the making. Today I received one in the form of a voice mail that was probably like those you may have received. Hi, I am just seeing if you need any promotional items? uh Our records show that you have bought from us (insert company’s name), uh, in the past.  (Pause) My name is (insert name) and you can call me , uh, at (inset phone number).

We’ve come a long way since  the first social networks started emerging  mid-1990s, when users were still figuring out the basics like the best size and angle of their profile pictures.

Others, however, take some experience to figure out, and those unfamiliar with the etiquette often  find themselves in very sticky situations . Whether your business runs a one-man social media team or an entire digital department, it’s important to outline social media e...
