We are in a world that is changing and the technology that we use every day is rapidly becoming obsolete in the way we communicate with customers and prospects. Businesses must recognize the change and adapt their practices accordingly.

It seems to me that the only advertisements that we see people really paying attention to are those played during Football's Super Bowl. The advertising extravaganza that occurs is incredible. But how many businesses can actually afford to do that? The candidates are extremely few and the medium sized companies that have ventured into that arena have not fared particularly well.

With the advent of remote controls, TIVO, and other technologies; prospects pass over television commercials. Through the Internet customers and prospects now get their information on-line and they are not paying the same attention to printed materials and therefore the print advertisements.

Push button radios enable listeners to rapidly change the station when they do not like a particular song let along when advertisements start playing. We are an impatient society with a short attention span. When we are looking to be entertained that is exactly what we want: nothing more and nothing less. When something gets in the way of that entertainment we push a button to change.

What was once reliable has become avoidable and YOUR customers and prospects are using the avoidance technology to avoid your messages.

So what do you do; you must go where your customers and prospects are looking for information! That place is Social Media and Social Networking. Are you there? Have you established your brand and your presence? If not, it is time to do so.

The Self Study is designed to take you through the process of building your brand, creating an Internet Presence, and driving visitors to your website and ultimately through your door or business portal.
