Looking for opportunities to move beyond social and connect via phone or a live meeting? We do also! Here we discuss how we cultivate our listening skills on social for following keywords, phrases and searches as much as we follow people and business.

We take the results of these searches and threads and look for opportunities to introduce ourselves, get some time on the phone or meet in person to learn their goals on social media.

This can be done across many platforms - Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest as well as the obvious LinkedIn choice. In our case - we found on LinkedIn that a premium account gave us more flexibility here for utilizing advanced search and filtering, InMail and Connections handling.

How are you gathering and discovering new connections that you seek to turn into relationships and business opportunities?

Don’t miss previous episodes where we’ve discussed social listening and the tools of social search.
