"If there's one SMB event that is a must attend in 2012 it’s Brent Leary's ‘Getting Down to Social Business.’ The reason is quite simple. Not only is Brent one of the leaders in the application of social business to SMBs, but the event itself is pulling in some of the biggest thought leaders in the world of social business. So how can you NOT be there?" says Paul Greenberg.
“Companies have to get in synch with how social/mobile is shaping customer behaviors and expectations in order to provide them with experiences that keep them around longer. And it takes more than saying “Like Us” or “Follow Us” to create meaningful relationships in the Social Age. It takes looking internally to see if your company is ready, willing and able to work together in order to engage customers who want to be valued for more than just a financial transaction,” adds Brent Leary.
