5 Tips To Improve Your Social Influence Beyond Your Klout | Social Media Marketing II | Scoop.it

The last time I used the phrase "social influence" in a face-to-face conversation at a business luncheon for small businesses, one of the owners sighed:

I am yet to receive an explanation or a response to my email from Klout as to the change and to several other very important questions I asked them.
