- Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612 Selling is different these days. The model has changed. The days of sales person as information agent are over. This isn’t to say that door-to-door, man-on-the-street selling is going away – it never really will. People like to connect with eachother. However, what we’re going to talk about can enhance your selling capability and help you reach a larger audience.
- Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612 Radio, TV, Outdoor, Print and WOM advertising used to dominate the market.

Anyone can have a channel. Have any of you ever visited www.mirandamccage.com? Of course not! But even if you don’t, my mom might – and even if my audience is small, I have a channel through which I can directly communicate to millions of others online.
- Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612 You used to have the power to control what your customers see and hear about you.

- How about outside of your website? How important are search engines? Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- When you Google this family’s builder (their brand name, even), this blog is the 6 th result. Story about how their positive, and then rapidly deteriorating experience with their builder was documented on this blog, with suppliers, neighbors, and other homebuilders weighing in through comments. When things went south, Bedrock Builders found this blog and contacted Matthew to offer his services. Since then, through the blog, Matthew has sent numerous referrals to Bedrock.

- Steve Gray joins me to share his story of using digital media successfully to Connect, Engage and Convert his visitors into customers. Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- Introduce your website – with several calls to action. Visitors can connect with you on Facebook, easily find project photos and testimonials, sign up for a monthly enewsletter, participate in polls, etc. Action-oriented website with personality. And this business is all about personality – and relationships. Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- The more places you are online, the easier it is to find you. Own your brand name’s search results. “Steve Gray Renovations” yields several pages of search results. Articles, Facebook page, partnerships, LinkedIn – he’s easy to find. Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- Consider search – and not just for your own brand name. “Home Renovations Indianapolis,” Steve Gray Renovations is the first search result. Your website should use these words to communicate to people and search engines. Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- Humans are social. They like to connect. Free social media tools – especially the ones where your target audience already are – can be easy ways to connect and drive audiences back to your website to connect with you. Requires a time commitment – so if you decide to participate in social media, dedicate at least 10 minutes a day to checking in and responding to your customers. Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- Great for building repeat customers. Useful tool for follow-up on up-sales and cross-selling for accessories, upgrades. Avg American checks their email inbox 5x each day. Low cost, customizable and targetable. Requires a good writer who understands the call to action. Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- Partnerships and affiliations can yield fantastic results. Consider where you get referrals offline – are there opportunities to leverage those relationships digitally? Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
- Small, quick wins that you can walk away with today. If you listen to everything I share today, and don’t accomplish all of these digital communication tactics until January 2011, give yourself a pat on the back. You’re doing great. There’s no reason to bite off more than you can chew. Start small, and build from there. Social Media for the Banking Industry www.mediasauce.com | Presented by James Burnes | 317.512.3612
