Good job! I agree with the communication part, just trying to find the time to do it. I need to work harder on that!

What great advice Danielle! I too run a business with my spouse and Lord knows that without constant communication, even the littlest of things can rapidly turn into a huge issue…. a mountain develops out of a mole hill, so to speak.

A company meeting of just 2 seems a bit odd at first, but with practice, it gets easier and comes naturally… something my husband and I work on every day!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with others… it is more than helpful to know we are not alone!

Comment on Are you utilizing social networking? by Danelle Brown

Thank you for your comments. To quote Jeffery Gitomer, among many others, “All things being equal, people will do business with their friends. All things not being equal, people will still do business with their friends” Although some of your comments are very valid, I feel “pimping out their business” is a bit harsh. Social networks are a great and inexpensive way of keeping in touch.

I agree meeting people face to face is usually the optimal way, but it is not always possible to be everywhere everyday. Social networks are great to keep in touch with people when you cannot be everywhere everyday.

Thanks for pointing out the clickable issue. I will get that fixed right away.

Nice post.

I would caution that, while social sites are great avenues for promoting your business…they are “Social” sites – designed for people to interact with other people. Pimping out your business in social networks can be a little offputting to some. Imagine talking to a friend and someone keeps interupting & trying to sell you something.

In social networks and the blogosphere, I have found that the people in the company are the best word of mouth. Simply being “themselves” while promoting the business is a less invasive (subliminal/memetic) approach. Think of it as an employee with the company logo/web address on their shirt…. you meet the person first then you inquire about the company (or go home and look it up).

FYI, your website links in this post are not “clickable”
