Ever wonder how you’re supposed to stay on top of messages you receive on Facebook? Never fear! We have a social media solution for you.
Most of us think being constantly reminded we have a new email is distracting. Today, email is only one small part of your digital connectivity problems. If you have your business set up on Facebook, you can be interrupted at all times just like email which can add to your workday distraction. Complicate that problem by the fact Facebook actually provides a rating to your audience of how quickly you responded and, well, you really don’t want your response time to be less than optimal when you’re trying to get new clients.
I know you’re thinking – well that’s just great, there’s another thing I have to manage in my super busy day. Thanks practice42. I’m glad to add this to my plate, too.
