I think we must start using twitter to start pushing our new product (being able to do produce year end accounts for £249.), if you have any tips on starting out on twitter, I would really appreciate it! thx

Hi Duane

Have to agree, twitter has firstly led me to finally make the jump to offering online bookkeeping as mentioned in your blog on closing a sale on Twitter. Last week I secured my first two clients as a direct result of my activity on Twitter.

Yesterday I had a called from the ACCA my professional body as they are running an article on ACCA members that use Twitter and during this discussion I attempted to articulate the benefits which in a nutshell I know see as, generating traffic to my website, another networking tool, a means of breaking up my working day and finally, in addition to a source of new client leads, as a tool to seek ways to add value to my clients.

All true, I would say – it was quite nice in a way to watch your journey (so far) through twitter – I joined a week or two before, and was still just playing around with it back then.

One thing which I do think is going to be valuable in the future will be the ability to monior mentions of an upcoming SaaS offering – be they positive or negative – and to be reactive.

Not to mention, as you say – being accessible. Have met some great folks out there!
