Nowadays businesses are either riding the social media train or stranded at the depot. Clients and customers love the personal touch and having the ability to comment on an issue; the problem arises however, when no one from the company responds back or follows up on a complaint, lack of service, or even a social issue.

You can meet with potential suppliers but also attend free training sessions. Other than you being out of the office for a day or two your company really doesn’t have much to lose.
