JIM ACKERMAN discusses the steps needed to convert social media “likes” and connections into customers who actually walk through your door (or click through to your website) and purchase your products or services.
Ackerman says you need to start by offering them knowledge, like a how-to guide or a checklist, in order to get their contact information. Once you have that, you can draw them to your business through loss leaders, or “scarcity” approaches like “limited supply” or “time is running out” offers.
