I became friends with you because I LOVE what you do, what you send us, the many individuals that you expose us to. I want to learn from you to increase my sales, become a better manager, to provide more service, become more organized….ALL of these things that you teach. I think FB is a great place to make connections. It is a matter of choice whether you attend the event or not. It's very easy to scroll right past the info that you don't want to read and easy to delete. Why become friends in the first place if you didn't want info or learn about that person and receive info or invites? Thanks for all you do. You are awesome! Marilyn
I became friends with you for your content. I know exactly what I am getting now if you invite me to every selling event you have and your across the country from me would I be offended no annoyed yes. This is why I actually started a fan page for just this reason I know not everyone of my friends wants to hear my business stuff. So I let them sign up for it then I don't feel so guilty and then they really have no reason to complain.
keep up the good work Julie I love the content that you provide.
I don't expect anything from my friends really. I like to be able to see what is going on in their lives and I hope that I can show them some of my life. I really like the connection facebook provides and am generally not offended by anything except repeated negativity. I love everything you post Julie! lol I did like your comment on how you don't advertise on your wall and will use that.
That seems to be the general consensus, Tara. Me, too.
Well said, Honore. I get dozens of invitations every day and simply ignore the ones that don’t interest me.
I am "friends" with you for exactly the reason you think – to learn from you, see pointers, and the benefit of it being through Facebook is that I can also see a bit of your personal life so I know if I relate, if what you suggest will fit well with my way of thinking. Like you, I'm also friends with people from jr high, etc, on FB. I'm never offended by invites! I would have missed out of a few really cool events had someone not thought to invite me through FB, and for those 'mass invites' from a friend of mine, I figure some day I'll get to go to one of his events 1200 miles away so keep 'em coming. Now and then, I'll get one that is political/religious/just plain weird – so I ignore it. The beauty of a FB invite is I can do that gracefully!
I take it for granted that someone whom I friend who makes a living via coaching or promoting products will of course send me information about any events (free or otherwise) that they have going on. It's up to me whether I choose to respond or ignore the invite. Unless I had specifically said "please don't send me any information ever about any event you have," it would never occur to me to be upset let alone offended. In fact, I usually friend people like you on Facebook because it's a good way to learn about events and seminars!
Am I offended by Facebook invites? No. Annoyed? Sometimes. If I get an invite that clearly was sent to everyone in a person's contact list, it is an "in person" event, and is 500 miles away, then I might be a bit annoyed. Offended? No!
Facebook is…a means of communication between my family, friends and customers and myself. It's also an excellent way of advertising for my business. Hmmmm…maybe I should say it's one of my "life lines!"
