Social media tools like blogging, Twitter, and community platforms are all the rage right now, but how do they align with your business goals? If you’re told repeatedly to "join the conversation," how does that convert to actual sales?

You need a new model for aligning social media tools with your sales cycle. Join Chris Brogan from New Marketing Labs for a presentation that covers the landscape, some case studies, and a recommended starting strategy or two for you.

Editor's note: If you replay this broadcast, DON'T miss the Q&A portion! Overwhelming feedback from the audience confirms that Chris provided a huge amount of valuable content in those last 30 minutes.

What Members Say About This Webcast

"Clearly presented, visually appealing, actionable information with lots of practical examples of what works."

"Here is a good overview with lots of case studies and examples of how social media can impact sales."

"I intend to have our CEO and COO watch specific parts of this so that they 'get' what other companies are doing."

"I think there were some parts during Q&A that were useful, the rest not so much. I enjoy Chris and follow him. Just don't know if this was one of his best efforts."

"Terrific examples! But the connection to sales cycle was a little light until we got to the Q&A. Chris handled the Q&A excellently!"
