Speaking of social media, if you are hesitant to start opening up to your clients for fear of negative feedback, put your mind to rest. Even GM is still getting a decent amount of positive feedback on its popular blog. Besides, just because you don’t have a blog or a twitter account, doesn’t mean customers are not already talking about your brand.
