Step 1 Connection:

To make a connection with people in your target market you need to stand out and get noticed. You do this by posting useful, relevent and valuable content on the social networks. 

Step 2 Conversation

Conversation is the defining element of Social Media so it is important to engage with people whenever possible by commenting on their blogs,  writing on their walls on Facebook or by replying to Tweets etc.

Step 3 Conversion: Conversion is when people actually start to engage mentally with what you have to say. They begin to seek out your updates. They might read your blog posts and sign up for your RSS feed. They follow you on Twitter and visit your FaceBook fan page and comment. The important fact is you now have their attention!

Step 4 Consumer: This is when people begin to consume your free content. People sign up for the freebie or ethical bribe on your blog. They attend your free teleseminars or webinars. They read your articles and watch your You Tube videos. 

Step 5 Commerce: 

People now know, like & trust you!They committ to the first real buyer/seller transaction. It is important to make the process as simple and seamless as possible so your clients will feel comfortable doing business with you in the future.

Step 6 Client

This is the final and best stage! Your followers now have a history of excellence with you. They know, like and trust you based on the products or services they have purchased in the past. If they see another product of yours they like, it will be a much easier decision for them to buy from you. 

Take care of your clients!
