“At every turn, new social networking platforms pop up. It can be hard to know where to invest your time and resources. Where is networking going? How can you get on board? And most of all, how can you dominate?”
“We have a competent team, but it takes more than that to get the edge. We are here to find out what you can tell us that the others can’t,” Tanner said.
“Yes, of course you are. And your new social media business is in a strategic position. For all businesses, social media is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. Which puts your service in high demand. But only if you can deliver and deliver in such as way as to prove you are well ahead of the competition.”
“Exactly,” Dani said. “And we are prepared to invest the money and resources to that end, if you can show us how to do that effectively.”
The meaning of the comment was not lost on Sean; the businessmen sitting in front of him had the wherewithal to make their words true. They could invest what was required, given that they had assurance of results. He nodded, his look all business, to let his elite clients know he took them seriously. “I intend to show you that right now.”
Sean went to the screen on the wall. Clicking a remote, he began showing them graphics, surveys, and statistics, to back up what he was saying. “As it has been, social media tasks have been assigned to existing employees in companies at large. This is no longer viable. Expecting an employee, not an expert in the field, to produce results in a competitive endeavor like social media is ineffective at best, foolhardy at worst.
“Businesses are moving away from that, and hiring social media strategists or full-time social media managers. If you want to improve customer loyalty and trust while increasing brand recognition, here is how you do it.” He clicked from screen to screen, narrating the presentation.
Both Tanner and Dani listened to every word, intrigued with the man’s knowledgeable approach to the ever evolving subject of social media. But more than that, they could see he had a unique view of media as a whole, along with brilliant ideas that had been proven to get results. The enthusiasm he exhibited and awareness of what a younger market wanted were additional points in his favor.
At the end of the meeting, there was no question that his consulting services were required. Contracts would be reviewed and details refined, but the deal was done. Sean Reid would consult for their growing social media endeavor and be paid handsomely for it. The gentlemen shook hands and committed to reviewing the agreement without delay; the conference was over. It had taken several hours, start to finish. Yet the presentation was delivered in such a sharp, direct manner that the meeting never dragged.
15 – A Taste Of The City
Haru served modern Japanese cuisine, and after the day’s activities sounded like a relaxing place to enjoy something different. It had a beautiful Japanese garden and elegant sushi bar. Asian-inspired artwork, custom pieces from local artists, adorned the walls. The entry had a black silk kimono with a white orchid pattern hung on the wall like a lovely tapestry. A table with delicate white flowers was positioned below a chandelier made of blown-glass globes.
The atmosphere was traditional Japanese with a modern touch. Each private dining room was closed off with a shoji, a sliding door consisting of translucent washi paper over a wooden frame. The doors used in homes, as well as restaurants, were designed to conserve space and used in lieu of a swinging door.
They sat at the sushi bar and ordered a variety of items: miso black cod, seaweed salad, tempura shrimp, and sushi. Natalie particularly liked the spicy crunchy tuna rolls. Sharing bites from each other’s dishes was too tempting to pass up. Everything was delicious. The others had sake, but being reticent about anything that strong, Natalie chose Kirin
