Do you sell to women? Are you connected with them on Facebook?

September 28, 2013

Women in MeetingWhen ever a business owner says to me, “I don’t use Facebook and I don’t plan to use it”, I ask them how many of their customers are women.

2. Introduce yourself, and your employees. There’s no substitute for meeting in person, shaking hands and talking to get to know the person you’re considering doing business with but remember that customers want to check you out online before they decide to talk directly with you.
