Go Social -OR- Go Home?

By Staff Reporters

Likes, followers, circles, networks and shares are all jargon used around the internet. Social media is the new language and being fluent is very necessary in business today. In fact, we have written about it before on this ME-P. Why?

Social media allows you to connect with your patients, clients, customers and viewers on a level that becomes personalized and more intimate. This in turn brings loyal patients and clients who become a part of your business model; both professionally and socially.

However, social media integration is a gradual process with huge long term rewards, potential benefits and pitfalls. And, the jury is still out on its’ relevance to medical practices, financial advisors and medical management consultants? Or, is it?

Assessment

So, here is an infographic breaking down the important facts and tips of social media.

    Approval Needed!

    But, stock-brokers need social media approval [permission] from their respective brokerage firms. And, compliance departments need to approve what they say; as registered reps [employees]!

    So last generation – so product sales like – so phoney!
