Official #MeierMarketing statement on this SlideShare by Gary Vaynerchuk...
"If a corporation or ANY size of business for that matter does not understand what is explained in this outline, quite frankly they deserve to go out of business. And, you should let them."
#1 Do not support outdated thinking. If you cannot follow social media trends, you might not want to try to run a business or don't waste your marketing depots time w over the top research / explaining (bc time is being lost and your competitor is probably already breaking glass and finding results which is what SMM is all about!!!!....
Social media IS how businesses will be managed internally and externally into the future. 1 in 8 minutes of all internet time GLOBALLY is spent on #Facebook. #HubspotFact
The utilization of social media for internal management - starting w eradicating email from the work place will be here sooner than we know it. The same software that have come into fruition from needing to harness the b2c marketing channels will also evolve for internal use --- utilizing a JIT / FIFO management operating systems. In fact, at #MeierMarketing we are already in talks with some of these companies.
Once again, do not waste your breathe explaining methods to those who need too much explaining. They should consider themselves lucky that you risked your own success / company ROI on experimenting for them and for that you should charge triple #MrVaynerchuck. #ReportoftheReport
And, once these systems come into play, we might just have a 3 day week vs 5 like Richard Branson is presenting. Since, well, quite frankly - we are working at grossly inefficient rates. There are hundreds of thousands of ways to solve the same problem, is it worth all that time away from family and leisure time?
