�. Being told after three das of our new strateg that “This
isn’t working; let’s just go back to the old stuff.”
But perhaps the problem isn’t what ou’re doing, but how ou’re
selling it. In this post, we’ll look at some effective strategies for
communicating the value of what ou believe will work best for
our compan’s social media presence, in order to help ou
secure executive and peer bu-in.

Twitter or Facebook to read techspeak. Talk to them like a
human being, about the things the like to talk about, and ou’re
more likel to get a human response.

our industr have on their lunch breaks, or at trade show happ
hours. Being a fl on the wall in such situations can help ou get
a better handle on what sorts of issues are trul compelling to
the veterans of our industr, and this approach leans more
toward that focus.

“technical” content out of the social feed. But ou can still work
our magic to make that content as engaging as possible.

pose this as: “You're the expert in this field; ou’re exactl our
target demographic – what do ou love seeing in our social
media feeds? What are ou most likel to comment on or click
like on?”
You ma get to see them squirm a little, but ou’ll probabl also
get extremel valuable insights – and ou ma even get to watch
the “Aha” moment where the finall understand what our job
is.

These four tips ma not completel change the more annoing
aspects of our job (or what other people think our job is), but
changing our mindset about how ou communicate the value of
our work can help to reframe the role that ou pla within our
compan.
