TRAINING OTHERS ON USING
SOCIAL MEDIA
Give, Give, Get:



Be on the lookout for ways you can
 help. Sometimes leads fall in your
               lap.
Give, Give, Get:



Offer help, even—and especially—
 if it’s advice or connections, not
           direct business.
Give, Give, Get:



Give credit where credit is due,
especially to people you know.
Keep On Carrying On

WHO TAKES OVER WHEN YOU'RE
THROUGH?
Consider who will take
     over before even
           beginning.
Thank you for your time!
