SOCIAL MEDIA: 10 COMMUNICATION QUALITIES for Status updates

10 COMMUNICATION QUALITIES

1. Be interested in the prospect. (Are you interested in really connecting with people, or do you spend most of your time spamming your opportunity on other peoples' profiles?)

2. Do not be distracted by anything. (How many hours each day do you waste by playing "Farmville"?)

3. Have a sincere, friendly facial expression. (What does your profile picture look like? Does it represent who you are?)

4. Use the correct amount of assertiveness. (This means not being too pushy or too laid back when communicating with people.)

5. Communicate easily - no tension, strain, fakeness, sounding rehearsed, stuttering or hesitating. (Just be yourself!)

6. Make sure your body doesn't distract the prospect. (Your prospect doesn't want to see photos of your pet or you in the 2nd grade as your main profile photo.)

7. Tell the truth. (No hype. Be honest and transparent with people, but be professional. Prospects probably aren't interested in hearing about your horrible day, but they do want to hear things that are positive and inspiring!)

8. Know what you're talking about. (Provide valuable information that people care about.)

9. Communicate at the prospect's level of understanding. (Make sure you use short, easy to understand words in your status updates.)

10. Have the intention to make the person's life better. (Are you using social media to give and provide value or are you using it just to get something?)
