Posted by Mike Volpe on Tue, Nov 10, 2009
 

Social media and the social web can be used to drive leads and sales for your business, if you use it in the right way.

  • Then, next to the content you are promoting in social media, include calls to action and offers next to that content - the second and more detailed content piece or free trial is what drives the leads
  • Make sure you have content both at the top of the funnel and at the middle of the funnel
