I wanted to take a few minutes and bring everyone up to speed on this experiment.


Gregg and I have spent a great deal of time on the phone together. After some screen sharing and a dive into Google Analytics, I realized that it was time for me to confess my sins to Gregg. I am a little "ashamed" to admit this, but I had never had my own personal Facebook account. Sure my business has had one since the day we opened the doors 5 years ago. I have just never had my own. I am somewhat of a private person, and just never had a desire to involve myself with Facebook.


Sooooooooo, I got my own Facebook account, linked my business, and a Vendor friend set me up in a couple of groups that are exclusive to Automobile professionals.


Gregg told me to spend a couple weeks on Facebook, and he and I would be connecting again. He felt that it would be a whole lot harder to teach me anything about Facebook and social in general if I had absolutely no "end user" experience. Now that I have had a couple weeks to mess around with it, I can clearly see that he is right. I now have a completely different understanding of the things that Gregg is teaching me. The only down side is having to explain to my friends that my Facebook page is exclusively for business...and that I really don't care to see a picture of what they ate last night.


More to come!
