Jackie Zuk's business is to get her clients “on scene” where it matters. She has hundreds of thousands of social media connections. Jackie has worked on MTV, Broadway and with Bloomingdales. Her podcast reaches more than 430,000. It was therefore great to spend time with Jackie and ask her for tips on really how to make social media work for your business.

You’ve got to realize that every member of your team is a reflection of your company so managing the people side of things well is critical for any company to succeed. Here at Beem, we have been very deliberate about some things. The key for me is to make sure that from a technology perspective, our solutions are easy for all to use. People are scared of the unknown and to have any chance of bringing on so many smaller companies, making them understand just how great Messaging can be from them, we have got
