Next Community Mastermind Call will be Tuesday, December 13th (12 noon Eastern/9am Pacific)!

Join us at the next call as we discuss The New Relationship Marketing (a proven nine-step program for building a sizable, loyal network comprised of quality relationships that garner leads, publicity, sales, and more) by my friend, Mari Smith. If you don’t know Mari, she’s one of the foremost leaders in the social media arena – with particular expertise in Facebook marketing.  In fact, I hired Mari years ago to teach me about a new social network called Facebook that was growing like gangbusters!  I can tell you from experience that she’s the real deal…she actually practices what she teaches and is a delightful, authentic, sparkly gal!

Topic: The New Relationship Marketing: How To Build, A Large, Loyal, Profitable Network Using the Social Web

You know the importance of integrating social media into all your marketing efforts. However, there are still so many nuances to keep up with, not to mention all the unspoken rules of etiquette on each of the platforms. Mari Smith just published her latest book where she walks us through a proven nine-step process for mastering relationship marketing. It’s about connecting with your prospects and customers – online and offline – and building lifelong relationships with them such that you are always the obvious choice. She’ll be discussing this and more on the next Leading Coaches’ Mastermind call.

Mari wrote this book specifically for those business owners and entrepreneurs who have only just dabbled with social media marketing, or who have reached a plateau with their online marketing efforts, and wish to propel their business to the next level and beyond. The pressure is on to shift your approach to using social media marketing, to better understand the new soft skills required for success on the social web, and to improve your own leadership skills through emotional and social intelligence.

What is relationship marketing? It’s all the actions you take online and offline to nurture the connections you have with your prospects, customers, alliances and partners… even with your so called competitors.You’ve heard of B2B and B2C (business to business, and business to consumer). Mari talks about how it all comes down to P2P: People to People.

Many businesses have not fully embraced the power of today’s social technologies due to a number of reasons, including fear of exposure, fear of negative comments and fear of wasting time and resources. In her new book, Mari skillfully walks you through her proven nine-step program for building a large, loyal and profitable network using the social web.
