The best way to understand your prospective customers create a buyer persona and collect information about them.

Build a relationship with relevant profiles/influencers you want to connect with

Networking isn’t just important for a career but also helps to build a successful business.

By building a healthy relationship with influencers in your niche — you can extend your reach and boost your visibility online.

You might already have a personal network built and know some of the people in your industry.

Do you think that is enough for the success of your online business?

No.

Do you want to know the reason, why?

Here are the answers:

Remember, there are thousands of people out there who are looking for your product like you have.

Your job is to find those people and connect with them.

If you’re going to do it manually, it will take lots of time and money.

To solve that problem. Here are some tools that will make easy for you, find key influencers in your industry on Twitter that you need to connect with.

But, it has also a feature for identifying influencers.

4. Traackr – It is specially designed for influential marketing. It is a complete influencer management tool that lets you find influencers (or upload them) as well as track all conversation with them.

5. Twitonomy – If you want to build a detailed database about influencers this tool has got you covered.

It provides detailed data about the people who talks regularly related to your product.

Once you find the right people here are what you need to do next:

Add value first – Twitter is a big community, and no one will care about you unless you provide them something valuable that they need. For example: (E-book, coupon, free passes of webinar, etc.)

Be sincere and helpful. If you can’t provide add the value don’t follow them.

Be outstanding – Social media is a noisy platform to get noticed you have to make your own unique path.

Don’t just tweet a rubbish. Create a product that makes your follower’s life easy.

Be humble and show respect – First, Follow the influencers you have listed on Twitter – all their accounts, personal and business.

If you get a follow back from them, tweet a thank you to their @handle.

Ask for a suggestion – Never directly ask influencers to tweet about your product instead, ask them for a suggestion, how can you make your product better?

Asking a suggestion will make them feel special, they will be happy to share their thoughts and will be more likely to take an interest in your product.

Furthermore, chances are they tweet your message and suggest your product with their followers.

Introduce your company at the right time and place

Today, in morning I was reading an article and I saw a phrase it was “If you’re not growing, you’re dying”.

It is true in many contexts in our life as well as fits in business, too.

To keep alive your business, you need steady clients, whether they come from organic search, referrals or word-of-mouth.

If they aren’t coming to these ways, you need to hunt them yourselves.

But the problem is, how would you introduce your business to new customers?

Would you tell him/her about your business in your first conversation or in the second?

You might get confused whether you should do that in the first encounter with your client or second or you should wait for some more.

Never introduce your business to your followers in the first or second meeting.

Wait, till you successfully build a relationship with them.

Don’t do hurry to do that.

If you do so, you might lose them for forever.

I want to share a little incident with you, I had on Twitter.

Recently, I had a Twitter follower, we had a good chat but instead of talking about marketing or blogging, he was only interested in talking about his company and its product.

Of course, it shouldn’t have bothered me, but he did that immediately after saying “hi”.

Although, I tried to change the topic of conversation, but he was stuck in his company and product.

You know what I thought that time?

I thought he wasn’t interested in building a relationship, he was only after my money and was trying to sell his product to me.

That made me lost interest in him and his product.

Furthermore, neither I did promote his product nor I recommended anyone else to do that.

The lesson here is to learn, promote your product only when you find the right time and place.

Never make the mistake that the guy did.

Your twitter profile a powerful weapon, use it right. And learn to warm up conversations.

Make your company’s “voice” unique

Everyone has some sort of story to tell, so has your company.

We’ve all heard that before and can easily identify to the truth of the statement.

However, telling a story to someone is easy but when it comes to telling about business, then you need some skills – you can’t just tell your story any old way – it has to be told in your company’s voice.

What makes your company’s voice unique?

Your voice attracts your clients to your market, so it’s crucial that is should be outstanding.

A perfect company’s voice should be authentic, trustworthy, consistent, and clear.

Authentic – Your company should always present their own points of view and ideas, not to the copy from someone else.

It must have your company’s story, vision, and mission.

Trustworthy – The world we are living in are filled with cheaters and cruel people.

Therefore, when a company speaks honestly and truthfully about their services and goals, it’s build trust.

The hard truth about trust is, it takes a long time to establish but a short time to lose.

Consistency – The news about your company should consistently deliver to your followers.

Your company should be on their mind.

Be Clear – When you are delivering your company’s message to your clients – make sure you be real and be clear.

You’ll find that your clients will quickly engage with you and would like to join you in on the conversation.

If you successfully maintain these four elements, you will see huge customer engagement towards your company.

Reach out a helping hand whenever tweet

A healthy relationship builds when both parties trust each other and are ready to help without asking for something in return.

This is one of the most powerful marketing strategies that only smart marketers using for a long time.

Help each other whenever possible. Tweet their messages not only on Twitter, but also other social media sites such as (Linkedin, Facebook, and Google Plus.)

Don’t only focus on your company and your product, but also promote the services of another without asking anything in return.

Build a strong community who helps each other without being a sales person.

Many users on Twitter send tweet various messages without adding any value in that they are known as a spammer in the Twitter community.

There are two types of people who promote their business on Twitter.

The first one, who self-admire and promote their own product or website over and over again.

The second one is always ready to help and get more clients than first one.

It happens not just because they are smarter than first one, but they have built a community of people who help them to get more business.

Which type you want to be is up to you.

Wrapping Up!
