A collection of 25 social media for business quotes by social media speaker Neal Schaffer. See background on each quote here: http://maximizesocialbusiness.com/top-25-social-media-for-business-quotes-15748/ Over the course of speaking to thousands (if not tens of thousands) of professionals at a few hundred events over the last 5 years as a social media speaker, I’ve seen more and more of my attendees mention that certain things that I said resonated with them. I’ve also seen more people tweet out soundbites from my presentations of their favorite social media for business quotes that I have given. For those of you who have never seen me speak, I wanted to create a resource by publishing these quotes and offering my own personal explanation and often longer story into the background of each. In visual social media marketing fashion, I also created my own “visual voice” by utilizing images for these quotes that would be in the most authentic of ways: All background images you will see are from personal pictures that I have posted on my Instagram account. Without further adieu, here are my personal favorite ones in alphabetical order. As you look through the images, you’ll probably notice a familiar looking logo with a new name in the bottom center of each page: The Social Media Center of Excellence. This is a new project that I will be launching soon to help businesses and professionals learn and leverage best practices in their social media that you’ll be hearing a lot more about in the not-so-distant future! I have tried to include only those quotes that I originally created unless noted, but since there are so many social media speakers out there, it wouldn’t surprise me if you have heard someone else say the exact same thing. If that’s the case – or if there is a favorite quote you have heard from a social media speaker – please drop it in the comments below. And do let me know which of my quotes resonate most with you. Thank you!
