This week was a big week for social media following the SEC ruling in its favor...
Social media is a powerful tool for any business, and the SEC ruling shows that mainstream business is finally recognizing the value it can provide.
Following suit, we have a great workshop for Tech Valley next week on building and using your LinkedIn presence as a lead generation and sales tool. See the Tech Valley News and Events below for another great event next week.
Don't miss this week's featured article to find out why focusing on your current customer base is essential to growing your business.

Featured Article:
Acquiring new customers takes time, money, energy and effort. Here are some interesting facts to consider when planning your marketing strategy and budget: - It takes seven (7) touches, on average, for a sale to occur.
- More than three-quarters of all sales are made after the fifth "no."
- It's 6-7 times more expensive to gain a new customer than to retain an existing customer.
Why is this? There are a number of reasons why making a sale to a new customer is more difficult than selling to an existing customer. Many of these come down to timing and trust. __________________________
