No matter whether you are an established Fortune 500 firm or a local mom-and-pop shop, speaking the language of your clients is crucial to business. Knowing their expectations from you and understanding their industry are keys to providing services clients need. Read their industry publications such as blogs or magazines as a way of learning more about it; identify their desperate wants and make it your mission to satisfy those desires.
As everyone claims to be an expert in social media, it’s essential that you clearly understand what your client really requires from you. Be specific with your tool kit, and partner with complementary experts if needed; for instance if you specialize exclusively in Facebook and Twitter strategies, partner with an exceptional copywriter who understands landing page creation or PR professional who specializes in real-time crisis management for maximum effectiveness.
