How to Build Social Media Relationships – Alan See

Forbes named Alan See ( @AlanSee ) one of the most influential CMOs on social media. He is one of the early adopters of both LinkedIn and Twitter and has been building his CMO advisory using his “Power Triangle.” Alan describes this triangle as a blog and using LinkedIn and Twitter to build relationships.

Alan describes his time when starting out in sales in the 1980s. The internet wasn’t used back then so he was able to see the entire social media evolution to advise companies big and small on how to grow their businesses. Even though there has been tremendous technological advancements in sales and marketing, Alan states one thing hasn’t changed when selling. We do business with people we know, like and trust.

Listen in on our conversation and then look for Alan and his wife in one of America’s amazing national parks.
