And The Cupboard Was Bare

OldMotherHubbardIn my last post The #5 Way to Sell More by Using Social Media I gave an example how you can sell more by using the social media application Twitter.

In that post I offered $2,000 worth of services to the person who provided either the most popular example of ,or idea on, how to sell more by using Twitter or any Twitter application to sell more, and a $1,000 to the person with the second most popular answer.

It appears that everyone was either stumped or too busy selling to give an answer. As the Mother Hubbard nursery rhyme goes “I looked for some ideas … and the cupboard was bare”.

Next Tuesday – December 1st -  I announce The #4 Way to Sell More by Using Social Media and offer $4,500 in prizes – $3,000 to the first place winner and $1,500 to the second place winner – for the most popular answers on how to use that form of social medial to sell more.

In the mean time take a look at the 100  most popular Twitter applications and see which ones you think can add the value to your own efforts by learning of Trigger Event information to sell more.

Have an EVENTFUL week!

    Craig:

    I think the best way to use Twitter overall is to use the search tools for keywords to look for prospects who have a trigger event and are actively looking for a solution to their problem. To do this I set up a search string for several keywords and phrases and created an RSS feed to my Google Reader. That way I don’t have to watch the Twitter stream and Google and Twitter Search finds Twitter users who put my keywords in their tweets. When I see one I respond to them via Twitter or research to find their email address to engage them.
