Guy speaks 50 – 75 times a year.

We discuss the need for an assigned person to run social media at conferences and events.

A big mistake is not posting enough to social media.

If you’re not pissing off a few people on social media, you’re just not using it right.

My CRM tool is “work your ass off.”

Guy uses social media as a marketing tool. He’s not using it to make friends.

 

guy kawasaki interview on NBN Radio with Dave DelaneyGuy would start networking again by using LinkedIn and Slideshare.

People (more or less) have to be who they say they are on LinkedIn. It’s a much more serious network.

Google+ is a fantastic place.

In technology it doesn’t matter where (your position) you get in.

People (in Silicon Valley) do not care about your background.

Enchanting people requires that you are likabletrustworthy and competent. How you communicate that has radically changed because of social media.

The importance of a smile.

We talk about writing and traditional versus self publishing.

The hard part about writing a book is not the writing, but the marketing.
