Raleigh NC LinkedIn Expert Martin Brossman Presented at NC CPA Conference

Aug. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- Raleigh, NC – Martin Brossman, a Social Media authority with over 20 years business experience, recently presented for the North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accounts (NCA CPA) at their Emerging Leaders Conference at the Grandover Resort & Conference Center in Greensboro on June 2, 2012.

Brossman presented Twitter/LinkedIn 101/Google+ and taught CPA’s how to effectively use LinkedIn and other social media for business. Brossman educated attendees on the best and easiest ways to take advantage of all social media has to offer to support business.

Brossman explained, “LinkedIn is an incredibly powerful and valuable resource on many different levels, including finding experts, having business questions answered, and competitive research. Twitter has been extensively used in political campaigns and banned in some countries because of its power to spread viral messages. Twitter also allows you to find out about the news, even before the ‘news media’ knows!”  He concluded, “Google+ makes connecting on the web more like connecting in the real world. You can share thoughts, links, and photos with business contacts.”

Martin Brossman’s website http://www.ncsmallbusinesstraining.com/sbclinkedin/  offers valuable business information including articles on conflict resolution, reputation management and sales trainings as well as word press, blogging and podcasting.  The site also lists courses taught by Brossman and his team and other resources helpful to small businesses.

Brossman also presented Facebook and Social Networking to Enhance Your Business for the NCA CPA on June 26th at the Morrisville Holiday Inn.  The seminar was videotaped and will be webcasted at NCA CPA workshops twice in 2012 and Brossman will answer questions live during the broadcasts. In this class he taught participants how to create a dynamic Facebook profile and business page to build strong customer connections as well as how to use Facebook statistics and pay-per-click.  Basic online etiquette techniques and how to develop a positive online presence were also included.

He explained, “Adding the power of social networking can increase visibility of your business on the Internet, develop lasting client relationships, and attract new customers where they look for you—online! Having a vibrant Facebook profile is a current strategy for expanding your marketing and moving you ahead of the competition.”
