January 25, 2012 in Author of Book, Book Review, General Business, Marketing, Motivation, negotiation, Networking, Socail Media and Marketing

I talk with Kevin Knebl about the book he was asked to write because of his social media presence and his blog’s content. The book on social media and sales was authored by Landy Chase and Kevin Knebl.

An informative chat that looks at how social marketing is more like networking then classic sales. Kevin talks about how “giving it forward” is a great way to get into social communication and the pitfalls of looking at social marketing as just another way to sell to people. Here is Kevin Knebl’s website/blog for more information and updates.
