Know Who You are Talking To

Who in the business are you targeting? Are you looking to appeal to someone in their marketing division or a human resources director? The content of your social media channels should be geared toward your target audience.

Consider your Outlets

While Facebook may be huge, it is not always the best way to reach the types of businesses that you want. Consider smaller social media sites that specialize in your field or subgroups of larger social media sites like LinkedIn.

Speak a Common Language
