Still think Twitter is only a social thing and can’t evolve into a project discussion?
Here is a Twitter conversation played-out in almost real-time today between me and Matthew Walker of Inner Passage.
I want to point-out that Matthew & I engaged in sharing information vs. trying to sell stuff on our Tweets. That’s what makes this conversation and a Twitter strategy based on freely giving 140 characters worth of unique, practical, and relevant content for one’s ideal market niche so cool and easy.
Learn more about Matthew Walker by viewing his Twitter profile. His twitter profile is clean, unique, and engaging. How cool is the photo and the leather notebook with “Adventure Consultant, etc.”
I sent a Tweet on my Twitter site.
Matthew Walker finds my tweet interesting and responds to me.
I responded to my followers with the following tweet.
Matthew and I agree to talk on phone today.
[Summary: I love his business idea of connecting mountain adventures with business coaching & he likes our full-service strategic and tactical implementation of highly focused market niche small business marketing. We discuss win-win possibilities and agree upon a next-step time frame and discussion.]
After our meeting, Matthew writes on Twitter…
I call my business partner and tell him about this cool discussion, and we both want to be cool like Matthew Walker and be able to do this…

Who knows what cool stuff The Strategic Incubator and Matthew Walker of Inner Passage can do together?
What is certain is that Twitter provided the social conversation meeting place for us to engage in a personal discussion.
What I find on Twitter is either people are stalkers and they send you lame Auto Direct Messages and links to crazy get rich quick stuff or people don’t know how to engage in a meaningful and transparent conversation that may or may not lead to further discussions.
Do you have a thought on this or maybe even a comment of how you successfully engaged in a meaningful off-line conversation as a result of Twitter?

I don’t even know where to begin.
I have basically assembled my dream team all from Twitter. I found my web designer sending a tweet asking for web help. I found a p.r. person on accident after a few engaging Tweets. I found my copy guy through a referral from a twitter friend.
I have connected with several high power individuals in my niche that currently are acting as mentors. I have met countless folks who have volunteered their time and skills to help me with one thing or another. The list goes on and on.
Ironically I met Matt Walker through Twitter. Matt and I have forged a great connection that has led to multiple opportunity’s. I look forward to growing that relationship with Matt and others.

Sean,
I love how you are using Twitter to find really cool and valuable people to support you in your business.
I don’t think most people know how to initiate a tactful approach to building a relationship of guidance and involvement beyond the 140 characters.
Thanks for sharing.
