Good Info. Thx!
Great post! I agree with all of your points but point number 2 sticks in my mind because it is very true that people are much more likely to recommend and respond when they know, like, and trust you. Especially after they have already committed to “liking” you by clicking like on your fan page. People by nature don’t want to contradict themselves so if they click “like” on something, they are kind of mentally committed to backing that decision up in their behaviors. Great stuff, keep it up!
