As consultants, coaches, authors, or entrepreneurs, we are all in the same boat. We understand that having a clear and effective action plan for how to use social media can truly make the difference in gaining effective clients and contracts for our business.

I can tell you from my first-hand experience that Twitter can be and is a transformational tool for your business. I have made more connections and built more relationships in a very short time through Twitter than I would have through years of the “old-school” means of networking.

And I think it is very important to note that not all of these connections resulted in an immediate paying client.
