Begin With The End In Mind-Stephen Covey

First examine your overall marketing strategy…• Which form of marketing best suits marketing of your products or services? Display, voice,

video?

• Should you target key decision makers or tailor your social media campaign to all influencers?

• Where in the buying process does social fit best?

• 72% of B2B marketers expect to make more use of LinkedIn*

• 57% of B2B marketers plan to increase marketing with Google+ *

effective!
