  3. margodegange answered: Real is the new deal!
  4. businessbeware answered: Very true Gary. If you put more time into building a relationship rather than getting as many as you can will benefit in the long run!
  5. jonathanlroberts answered: Time, it’s about taking time to builod relationships. Whilst the technology moves at light-speed think like the Japanese think years not days
  6. trailertalkshow answered: Great micro-talk there Gary, have to do nothing but totally agree. So many times have seen brands do something because it seems hip and NOW.
  7. beththeimva answered: I just finished reading your book today. It took me 8 whole months to find it, I live on Aruba and mail is slow and AMAZON doesn’t deliver :(
  8. lindaeaves answered: True. Building relationships is what I like to do.
  9. drtaichi answered: Yes - watched the vid you posted on this. It’s still another sympton of “not getting it” - just as bad as “Social Meida is stupid.”
  10. sumitbhanote answered: I see a lot of emails these days with twitter/fb, etc. logos, when you follow them, they don’t socialize, I think that hurts them even more
  11. markhost answered: hence the “marketer” explosion on twitter and facebook… auto DM’s, etc. Better to take the garyvee organic approach of actually interacting
  12. hall-lane answered: YOu have some awesome info
  13. davidzelniker answered: trying to get involved w/SxS now is a reactive approach not a proactive one.. the big companies will never learn

  16. heidijury answered: Real Relationships - real relationships are based on real so how can you do real unless you are real and how real r the boomers willing to be
  17. vincedowd answered: Gary love the stuff and Agree, we must be authentic and realize that our TRIBE can and will find us on the net if we are persistant.
  18. david-jacobson answered: Relationships are the foundation to any successful person. A genuine connection with someone is key, especially in todays world.
  19. tylerford answered: When is the event? I want to go.
  20. joehendricks answered: well said
  21. swhine answered: Agree Gary, everybody even big known brands should build their online fan base as if they had to start from 0 and care about each one of them
  22. uprootedphotographer answered: Great post. Building relationships is the base of doing business. There is no 2nd chance at a 1st impression and your initial contact is key.

  30. liangtfm answered: Good video Gary! Brands don’t have to do anything, they should WANT to
  31. thejpd answered: If “have-to” is the reality you start with, you get relationships based on “have-to’s” & obligation. It’s an “old model,” & not one ppl enjoy
