Lessons we can learn from “Ways To Better Conversation (1950)”

“How to have a conversation” applies to today’s social media strategies:

A conversation is like a volleyball game. There is a equal back and forth but if you don’t participate, you drop the ball. So for today’s brand managers I say join the conversation and keep in mind the following rules:

Include everyone
Respect others opinions
Contribute
Stick to the subject
Be a good listener
