We often get asked what return our clients get for their investment in an online presence. But a better question might be “What are you missing out on by not being online?” Check out this example from one of our new clients:
A seasoned professional, with a reputable self-owned business, was looking to get out of the day-to-day operations of his practice. He wanted to transition his time towards a more consultative phase of his career. To get started he quickly landed a speaking deal at a three-day convention in his hometown for $1,000. He did such a great job presenting that after his workshop ended a woman approached him and asked if she could book him for her association’s annual conference in Canada. They arranged to meet the next day and continue their conversation regarding logistics and fees.
Everything was looking great, but things took a downward turn the next day. When they met over coffee, the woman said she had “Googled” him to learn more about his business, his clients and his expertise. Unfortunately she found nothing online —because there was nothing to find.
Having no online presence took away his ability to leverage his fees and services. But even worse, he felt it stopped him from landing this fantastic speaking opportunity. He realized he hadn’t planned and planted a simple online strategy that would allow him to connect with people he met along his path that could help his new consultative business grow.
If our new client had been on Social5’s mobile suite during his original encounter he could’ve commanded a much different outcome. Instead he could’ve pulled out his mobile phone and simply entered her email address on his personal mobile site. Almost instantly she would have received an email with all his contact information and links to his social channels. She could have easily vetted him on the social platforms she prefers. All of his social channels would have been interesting, timely and relevant with diverse content and imagery (all loaded automatically for him by Social5’s team of experts). He would’ve looked more professional than other experts she may have been considering. Their conversation the next day would’ve gone much differently.
Of course, you are using our platform and have the peace of mind that your business is showing up in front of people that could lead to opportunities both today and down the road. If you know someone who could benefit from social media services, feel free to send them our way! We also offer a range of other services to help you stand out online, such as SEO, paid advertising, LinkedIn connection building, and more. If you have questions or want to learn more, please feel free to reach out to us by emailing support@social5.com!
