LinkedIn has been very helpful in growing my practice. I have met great new contacts, found my new office and has allowed me to keep in touch with clients/associates.
After years of experimenting with Social Media platforms and how I can benefit from them, I thought that I had seen and done it all. Over the past year, I have been receiving requests from various special interests groups throughout the State of Colorado to speak about the business value of today’s Social Media.
So when several professional acquaintances of a small resort town asked me to help out with this subject matter, I was interested. The one caveat was that the town claims to be “broke”. Having visited this small mountain resort town many times over the years, I thought of another approach; Bartering. I extended an offer to speak and demonstrate the virtues of Social Media at the local Library for a complimentary one hour session in exchange for lodging and a pass to a local event at the time of my visit.
Within one week, several locals came back to me with an offer to accommodate my request. They exceeded my expectations; 1. They set me up in an exclusive multi-million mountain estate, 2. The provided me a four-day pass to my event of choice and, 3. Treated me to unique dining experiences during my stay.
