What Twitter Has Done For Me
Twitter has opened me up to so many new connections and new people. If you aren’t on Twitter you need to get there ASAP.
Story #1
The first sale that I made in my current position was a direct result of Twitter. The person followed me, and I followed him back. Eventually sent a few DM’s, set up a meeting, and 2 days later I was a hero. I brought in a check, and we met a phenomenal company that we still work with.
Story #2
I was in Austin, TX for a conference that I really had no part in, and realized that the people there would not make great clients. I wanted to make the best of the trip and try not to waste the company’s money so I hopped on Twitter. A friend of mine in CA connected me with some people in Austin, and a few hours later I was at a Tweet Up at some back alley BBQ joint in Texas.
Turned out some really interesting people were there that I still work with today, and that i have learned a lot from.
My point is simple. Twitter is an essential part of your social media network. So don’t hesitate, get on Twitter and follow me @BrazenDan
