Social media continues to be a hot topic. I don't know about you, but I have avoided Twitter like the plague because I had absolutely no idea how to use it. I had questions like what and when do I tweet, how often should I tweet, what is a hashtag and how do I use it, etc. I decided I needed to just jump in, and I am learning new things every day and how fun Twitter is!

4 Tips for Effectively Using Hashtags

 

 

This section in our newsletter is to brag a little bit about our accomplishments we have achieved for our clients. It will give you an idea of what we may be able to accomplish for your company!

 

Case Studies:

 

- ASM took over the negotiations of a portfolio laundry deal for a client in mid stream (provider had already given our client a proposal/offer).  After analyzing the provider's offer, ASM was able to conclude that the revenue share percentage offer presented to our client was approximately 51% lower than the existing agreement in place.  ASM was able to renegotiate the portfolio deal and increase the revenue share percentage by 11% over the existing agreement in place (not the proposal our client received directly).  Also, the new ASM offer was 3 years less than the original proposal our client had received from the provider.

 

- ASM has successfully negotiated numerous telecom agreements that allow multiple telecom providers on a property (including sharing of coax wiring) while still maximizing revenue for marketing one or more service providers. 

 

- ASM renegotiated waste hauling contracts for a client on 11 communities which will save the client approx $105,000 a year.
