Twitter announced the ability to have lists!
So why do we care that we can use lists for Twitter?
Folks, it’s our human nature to make lists. Grocery store list, Christmas lists, Household lists. Our famous to-do lists….We love lists! Now we can group are interests for our community, business, and personal life on twitter in lists. Now we can see the power of following the content we find relevant to our needs. Now it’s not about what you had for breakfast it’s about what we want to achieve today and how we can leverage the power of our community to achieve your list.
Let me give you an example. Everyday we wake up and in most cases have a routine. Workout, eat, work, interact, eat, work, interact, eat, work interact, family time and go to bed. Now we have the power to share with our communities the challenges and success we have on a daily basis in many ways. Twitter now has some structure and we love structure. Some of you may say, SO WHAT! Somewhere along this daily journey we need to buy things. Studies show us we trust family and friends more than anything. So now we can quickly reach people we think matter and make decisions based on the feedback. All our experiences can be shared and will allow us to read, listen, ask questions and interact on subjects with like minded people in our community. The larger your following is on Twitter the more desirable you become to product owners.
Start thinking about your community and how you can use your Twitter lists.
Happy twittering!

The Internet has reached its 40th birthday! Where has the time gone....?
Can you believe that we have had the World Wide Web for 40 years?
Where has the time gone?
It was in 1969 that ARPANET, (The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), was officially created. It began out of the Cold War rush to demonstrate scientific achievement. The United States department of Defense wanted to bridge scientists and engineers to openly and freely exchange information. So what has changed from 1969?
EVERYTHING….. or maybe not?
Think about our everyday routine…. I do not read a newspaper anymore. I read online with my coffee. Never thought I would give up the paper but it was not that difficult and the ability to share articles with my different communities works great. Also the ability and ease to share comments are brilliant. Not to mention how many trees we take out for the luxury of newspapers. Think about not knowing what a word means or before you meet with someone. Now we use Google! Great tool and allows you great insight to the person you are meeting. As a professional sales person we must respect the time of our customers and we need to be doing our homework. It is an easy and great way to differentiate from all the other sales people that try and make the engagement about their needs…NOT! It’s about knowing what’s on your customers mind and assisting on their challenges and making their day easier. How will you know their latest activities if you do not gather this information? In tough times you must stay focused on your goals and leverage all tools to maximize your success. Focus on giving value to your customers and you will see reciprocal results.
On the flip side if you Google yourself and it does not comeback positive…..FIX IT! Make a statement on line that speaks to the error or explains the blemish. The great news about the web is everything you do is visible. The bad news everything you do is visible.
It’s up to you where you go from here!
Happy googleing!
Make it a great day!

The Post-Recession Consumer
John Gerzema is the co-author of the book, The Brand Bubble. He spoke at TEDx KC about what the Post-Crisis Consumer will look like.
These 17-minutes will make you think differently about how you sell and market - especially when you consider that your consumers are no longer the same people they were prior to the recession: TEDx KC - John Gerzema: The post-crisis consumer.http://ping.fm/xpozf
