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.
