35 Seconds To Start A Relationship...
This is from an article by TweetSmarter.com
It is a guide for tips before sending a tweet to a potential customer, but I think it is just good advice in general. It is a great way to find and build rapport with quality people.
35 Extra Seconds Starts A Relationships...
Here’s the minimum you should do before sending someone a sales tweet. First, have Twitter advanced search and Favstar.fm open to speed things up.
Use Twitter advanced search to find tweets from people that might be interested in your product or service. This you would have to do anyway, so I’m not counting this against your extra time investment
5 Seconds:
Click to open their bio and review quickly. If they seem unsuitable, skip them. If there is a link in their bio that seems interesting, click and check it out. (Not strictly necessary, but I always do this when I meet someone new.)
5 Seconds:
Use the steps in http://bit.ly/Link-A-Tweet to go to the page for the tweet that shows their interest. Bookmark it (use Ctrl-D for speed) so you can come back to it later.
5 Seconds:
Follow them and add them to a Twitter list (here’s how to do that) called “Interesting People.” Yes, you could call it “prospects” or whatever makes sense for you, and make it a private Twitter list, but the public list approach is better.
10 Seconds:
Copy their username, Go to Favstar.fm, click the “Choose User” link at the top, paste in their username, and press enter.
10 Seconds:
You are now looking at that user’s most popular tweets. Do one or more of the following steps: Fav one or more that you like. If you really like one, retweet it. Finally, consider replying to any of their tweets. (You might want to also review their most recent tweets on Twitter.)
Wait at least a few hours (days are better) to see who tweets to you. Some will thank you for the fav or RT or follow. Next, go back through the tweets you bookmarked in your browser. They will indicate who has followed you back. Tweet your friendly, helpful carefully worded sales pitch to the ones that tweeted you, or followed you back. (I’m not counting this against your time investment because you would have done that anyway.)
