In this online world that we all seem to live in, it is easy to focus all your efforts on one or more of the new social media tools at the start of this new year.
Yup, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook are being used more and more by small businesses. But did you know that there is a quicker way to get in touch with people?
I know it’s rather old fashioned and it hardly gets a mention nowadays, but the telephone is really a wonderful device!
At the start of a New Year, you have a great excuse to pick up the phone and call a few past clients and customers. Wish them a Happy New Year and find out how the past few months have been for them.
You may want to find out if they are still on target with the plans you helped set out for them. It could that you ask for feedback on the last product they purchased from you.
However the phone call goes, there is a very good chance that a couple of those calls may lead to a re-booking or a re-order.
Go on – you know you remember how to use it. Just pick up that handset thingy, press the numbers and when the ringing sound stops, the person will be there on the other end.
It’s quite magical you know 
And not a tweet or poke in sight!
ha! too true! The tip is to get a sexy phone like an iphone and you just want to use it all the time! great post though, and obviously once youve made the phone call, then back it up and log it with your fancy new social media tools!
