Listening to your audience, customers and potential customers is critical in this world of Social Media Chatter.

The burning question for companies is: as an organization are you listening? If you have customers, most likely they’re talking about you to their friends, colleagues, and to anyone else who will listen and is in their social media sphere of influence.

Once you are ready to embrace the reality of public dialogue, it is time to find out what people may already be saying about you.
