I have to agree that many clients are simply not worth having. But the ones who are willing to collaborate in social media, who'll make a long-term commitment to it and who'll open their minds to new ways of doing business can reap enormous benefits. sadly, a lot of big agencies sell better than consultants who have the real goods, and so a lot of pioneers will be shot as always happens in the face of change. ith everybody and her dog calling themselves social media marketers, it is hard for clients to separate the wheat from the chafe.

You can't rob Tather Time of time. Lisa, Brian (what's up!) and Melanie: Yes, it appears we are all experieincing the same kind of demand. I am seeing a lot of the same, and it is becoming apparent that some clients are not worth having. In one instance, I had a potential client stand up an scream at me about message control, and how it was BS that you couldn't keep control. There's going to be a lot of bad social media this year. It's best if our names are not associated with it... Sonny, thanks for coming by. David: You are right, and it is not a quick remedy. You can’t rob Tather Time of time.
