Smartwomenstupidcomputers: your point about relationship and building trust and customer service is right on the money. Hotmail e-mail is right when she says that small business may not spend much money on marketing but the challenge is to know:

a) where to spend the money for marketing most effectively, AND
b) where and how social media comes in for a smaller company doing B2B

Moreover, why should small businesses even know better if the big luxury brands fail miserably at this as well?

Brian thanks for this post, nice and to-the-point as usual.

I love this post and I agree wholeheartedly. We do not have any social media “experts” quite yet.
This is still in it's infancy and evolving. I am a web/blog designer, teacher and speaker so I am often asked my advice in these areas.
I try to warn my clients to use caution when hiring “social media experts”, just as some of my clients have gotten so burned with so called “SEO” experts.
Finally I have found great success, and new clients, by participation in relevant forums and actually developing trust and helping others. I advise my clients to do the same. I still believe in the end, it is all about relationships and building trust and great customer service.

Good post, Michael, thank you for sharing. How interesting that most of your comments are around your assertion that there are no experts. I think I get what you are trying to say. The problem is that if you look at the definition of expert, it's hard to argue that some people in social media are more “expert” than others. That is, the word can be an adjective as well as a noun. Of course, we don't want to bog down in semantics! That said, when transparency and integrity online are so important today (in this age of spammers and e-charlatans), if someone calls themselves an expert, they need to justify that. So if Brian Solis (himself an expert?) says there is no such thing, it throws a negative light on those peoples' reputations and sense of worth. So I would say that some people are more expert than others but whether they call themselves an expert or not is a moot point. It's just a label.

Great post. I'm excited to see how these realities shift in a few years. More and more, I'm seeing Twitter mentioned in mainstream media, like on the UFC fight, or in Travel + Leisure magazine. I like that. I want more of it, because Twitter and social media are my language. And I like businesses that speak my language.

Organisations have a long way to go to even remotely understanding social media…even those actively engaged in online marketing activties. And with this lack of understanding, anyone presenting themselves as an “expert” will often be accepted as one.

I am actually more concerned with 79% SMBs spending less than $5,000 a year in marketing,
which is probably the one thing typical about these respondents and all SMBs. This indicates they don’t believe in spending on marketing or marketing is worth the money.
