Learning the details of LinkedIn and Facebook for business were mind numbing. I was a sponge the whole time. It was amazing to see the value of social media in the sales world. Chris hit several key points about using social media efficiently and effectively. Thank you Chris Dessi for educating me in a world that I did not know existed, social media. The days of cold calling are dead. We can now think more creatively to prospect possible clients, outside of the box. Your methods blew me away.
