In person is best for solidifying connections, and for getting a quick reaction. You can create a relationship online via social networking, but to take it to the next level, you need to crank it up in person and press the flesh! Great meeting you, and glad I could be part of the Pow-Wow with you and the other experts. You’re not kidding Mike! In person is best for solidifying connections, and for getting a quick reaction.

The power of social connections are so much stronger when you can shake a hand and look in someones eye. Especially if it involves snow ball fights outside the Greek restaurant. I hope to see you again soon. Have a spicy day. Jose Mike-

I walked into the Pow-wow with some pre-conceived notions about book marketing which were quickly corrected once I heard from the offline and online success of fellow consultants and authors. In-person attendance (and participation) helped me better understand the do's and don'ts of marketing in today's increasingly fragmented marketing channels. It was nice to chat with you and look forward to staying in touch. Best, AnnaMaria Hi Mike-

Watching people's faces as they speak, noticing others' reactions to them, hearing everyone laugh, sharing a plate of greek food... Glad to have met you -- see you there next year! Erika Mike -

I’m with you - social networking is wonderful, but it’s not (and will never be) the same as sitting together in a room. Watching people’s faces as they speak, noticing others’ reactions to them, hearing everyone laugh, sharing a plate of greek food…

Glad to have met you — see you there next year!
