2. Social media isn't going anywhere so measure it right
Most social media advice out there is about “more, more, more.” More followers, more likes, more re-tweets, more click throughs, more ads. So on and so forth. And I don’t know about you, but I’ve about had enough of it.
3. Nothing worse than wordiness – cut to the chase!
You know the type: they speak slowly and monotonously, giving a long, drawn-out intro to what they want to say. Then they say what they want to say, with all sorts of semi-related stories and anecdotes, until you want to stick your hand into their mouths, pull out the words, and yell, “Just get to the point, for crying out loud!”
4. Cutting to the chase doesn't stop you telling a story
Do you have a sales team that is tasked with creating leads and closing contracts? Maybe you have a strategy for increasing your presence on search engines and boosting sales through your website? Perhaps you send out email drip campaigns designed to re-engage leads and keep your brand at the forefront of potential customer’s minds?
