Social media is indeed about long term relationships. And they don't happen overnight. What is awesome is that they have the potential to offer much, much more than one night stands.

I had a guest blogger mention exactly this type of issue - how social media should be looked at as a relationship. He was talking specifically about the relationship between journalists/PR folks and bloggers, but I think the ideas of your post still apply. http://tinyurl.com/MoLuv Great post!

So incredibly true. I love great metaphors and this explains companies short comings and commitment phobias to a big giant T. Now, if only we could just buy all men, companies, and social media phoebes a quick pill cure for this commitment disease. Desarae http://www.interactivemedias.blogspot.com I love this post.

I felt like you were speaking directly to clients in the industries we serve (Construction and Real Estate). Many companies in these industries are very loyal once they've committed to relationships. They will stay with the same people they've learned to trust for many years. Getting their trust, however, is often very difficult. Many companies are tightly held and very cautious when entering into new relationships. John P. Kreiss MorganSullivan, Inc. http://www.morgansullivan.com Great post Shannon.

I might add, lets all display leadership as we navigate the waters and negotiate with Corporate America as to why SM works, what works and what doesn't. Big Boy and Big Girl Executives are pretty slow to react to change, but some are. Only when they do accept it will SM become mainstream. It absolutely must start at the top for real results. A bigger problem though may be separating who knows what they are doing and who does not. All SM efforts and strategies are not created equal. Shannon, Great Insight, and good comments.

One tactic I've found useful with reluctant clients is pointing out that parts of their business may already be transparent, whether they realize it or not. Like this video of how to beat a car salesman at his own game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPor5b7JLLE Or this one of a Comcast technician falling asleep on the job: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvVp7b5gzqU It can help them to understand that the conversation is happening and it is out of their control. The question then is do they want to join in? Hi Shannon,

Great post.

One tactic I’ve found useful with reluctant clients is pointing out that parts of their business may already be transparent, whether they realize it or not.

It can help them to understand that the conversation is happening and it is out of their control. The question then is do they want to join in?
