Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE to talk.  Sure it may take me a while to warm up to you but once I get to know you (or get a caffeinated beverage in my system)… watch out!  I’ll talk your ear off.

I left the Corporate World close to a decade ago and thought I’d miss live one-on-one interactions but e-mail quickly became my substitute for fellow co-workers and in fact, I developed a few deep bonds with friends and clients that I probably would not have in the “real world.”  There’s something about the annonymity of e-mail that lends itself to an easy flow of conversation.

And then came Twitter. 

Twitter took my conversations to a whole new level.  With only 140 characters to spare, you have to pick and choose your words wisely.  Messages are much more concise and more relevant.  And conversations are suprisingly more persusasive… because conversations are the most persusasive business tool.  And Twitter is where the conversation is happening.

If you’re not tweeting in your business, you’re missing out on an incredible opportunity to engage directly with your customers and potential customers.  Sure Twitter is fun but you can’t overlook it’s value as a branding tool, traffic generator, customer service secret weapon, and online reptuation manager.

Yes Twitter is all those things.  But for me it’s just another way for me to talk your ear off!

Why not lock up your Twitter account today and get schooled in the lost art of conversation.
