I would like to introduce you to Diane Gottsman, national etiquette expert, founder of The Protocol School of Texas, a friend and fellow business professional. Over the years Diane has built a thriving business, conducting sessions all over the United States, regularly featured on several area TV shows. Most recently she was on NBC’s Today with I think that’s extremely impressive! In addition, Diane has a popular blog and is regularly quoted in national print and online publications as a top industry resource. She even blogs for The Huffington Post!
Diane is completely immersed in social media and knows the importance of building strong social media relationships. Her reputation as a leader in the executive etiquette industry is widely publicized on the web and she has built an army of friends and supporters. Her online presence is unbelievable. Just take a look at her blog (link below), scroll down the media list, follow her on Twitter @dianegottsman and see for yourself.
I asked Diane to offer a statement and advice I could share. She says, “I have made some wonderful friends and gained even more valuable clients by connecting via social media. Knowing how to properly interact on various sites has increased my link to customers, introduced the media to my work, and allowed me to reach further than I ever could have done on my own. If you are going to use social media, do it the right way, be respectful of your friends and followers, offer solid content, address interesting topics and enjoy the ride.”
See how Diane presents herself and her company through the mighty power of technology:
