March 16, 2015 by Dennis Fischman Leave a Comment

Are you or your organization just beginning to use social media?  It’s a little like being a new driver. “Keep your eyes on the road. Keep your eyes on the rearview mirror. Watch out for pedestrians. Watch out for signs.”

There are so many things to learn and to keep track of. How do you tell which are important for you?
