I have ABSOLUTELY gotten great customers and team members from twitter by setting up twitter searches for my direct sales companies and responding to questions people ask about the company. Thanks for the reminder to make it more a part of my weekly marketing and less a “ooh I haven’t done this in a while” kind of thing.
