Recently our company did an audit of social media use of the members of one of our clients. It's not surprising that many of them use Facebook to market their products and services to end-users/consumers. With well over 1.8 billion users Facebook has the eyeballs. However, recent changes in Facebook require more than just simple posting. Here I offer up some statistics of what seems to work...well...when it comes to content and consumer content. Next month Phil K. James from Good Milkshake Digital will join me to dive into more Marketing4Business. For now you get to listen to me prather on... Here you go!

Jobless claims are in and it's a mixed bag;
The Affordable Care Act is back in the news and growing;
Thousands leave the private health care insurance world;
Retail numbers are good, unless you are a department store;
There was an opps with the Iowa Department of Public...Safety/
Those stories and our interview today is with Kim Robinson the owner of a video business, D2D Training, that trains door to door sales people. No, really! I had no idea how big this business is and we take a deep dive into sales and sales training videos. You can hear all of that right....here!

My first question to Kim Robinson the owner of D2D Training was, "What? You mean people still sell stuff door to door?" OK, so maybe I'm not home enough to notice. In this segment we're talking about the door to door selling business and how the videos created by Kim help corporations all over the country. From huge corporations that employ thousands to smaller companies who want to teach sales training. We had some fun doing this...give it a listen.
