As professionals who count on client referrals, word-of-mouth endorsements and extensive networking, these individuals can’t afford to not be part of the conversation
Denver, CO (PRWEB) December 18, 2012
Brad Friedman, president of The Friedman Group, LLC, an inbound and social media marketing firm headquartered in Denver, Colorado announced the release of their eBook "Social Media & Regulated Industries." “People working in regulated industries have stayed away from social media in large numbers. As professionals who count on client referrals, word-of-mouth endorsements and extensive networking, these individuals can’t afford to not be part of the conversation,” said Friedman. “That’s why we wrote this eBook. We want to help people in regulated industries utilize inbound and social media marketing to grow their business.”
Financial Services Providers, Doctors, CPAs, Attorneys and other professionals in regulated industries can’t afford to be left behind.
