I'm working with a small business who needs clients in the door - today. We're focusing on tangible actions we can take *today* to make that happen (which does involve a bit of social media), as well as looking at a 3, 6 and 12 month road map of things we can consider to continue to help bring in more clients in the future. If we were entirely future-focused, she may have a long period of time without any paying clients, which obviously is not ideal for her situation.<br><br>Great post Neil!

Using the "next" social media and marketing devices will help reach exactly 0.1% of my target audience. The reality is that I will be doing the social media basics (what's yesterday) with my manufacturing startup, because it needs to feel comfortable and accessible... I don't want to make a customer feel archaic. Totally agree. Using the “next” social media and marketing devices will help reach exactly 0.1% of my target audience.
