Strong business relationship lead to long term customers and this is good for your bottom line. If you have been ignoring social media it’s time to recognize that you are turning your back on a vital direct connection to the people who have supported your business and those people who may be your next customers. Your customers are a vital source of information for any company. They can help you understand how to better meet their needs and therefore, retain their business while attracting new business. One of the most powerful ways to tap this valuable resource is by finding more ways to connect with your customers and build lasting relationships.

Relationship building is an ongoing process on and offline. Social media makes it easier to start and build relationships with current and prospective customers all over the world.

And….. For ALL NEW MEMBERS who have just joined Worldprofit, here are some words of advise from fellow NEW Member, Terry Heffner.

Thank you Terry for sending this in to help other NEW members in our Worldprofit home business community who don’t yet grasp the purpose of repetition and focus on promotion and list building. We can tell YOU are on the right road already to building your own successful online business.

George Kosch, I am a Worldprofit Silver Member who is fairly new about 30 days or so. I just have been going through the bootcamp training, I must have watched the first three videos about three times. As I progress down the bootcamp training I am starting to see why you preach using the safe lists and other avenues to create your list. It is very tempting to click all over the many valuable assets you have here. So to all the new people let me tell you to listen to what the man is saying and follow what he preaches as much as possible. I still have a long way to go and yes it gets boring but with all the help and resources you are given here I suggest you take full advantage of them. Thank you again. “
