And yes, you need to get people excited about things going viral. Many probably have an idea of what going viral means, but that's far different from seeing what things actually translate to. @Paul Burani: a good consultant in any industry should be an expert storyteller.

You start with the business scenario, talk about the creation of linkbait at the start, what multitude of channels was used, which hit, how we knew it, etc. And then of course how it was monetized... my go-to story usually doesn't raise eyebrows until I share three core metrics: pageviews, ad clicks (we were using Adsense), and dollars earned. You gotta convey the excitement of the viral explosion...we all know what it's like, but if we can't paint that picture in the client's eyes it becomes really hard to sell social media. <em>Paul Burani, Clicksharp Marketing's last blog post..<a href='http://smallbusinessblog.clicksharpmarketing.com/2008/01/26/2000-marketing-executives-agree-search-is-the-new-email/' rel="nofollow">2,000 marketing executives agree: Search is the new Email</a></em> I tend to think that the best way to sell social media is with a story.

This is a much longer discussion that would be more specific and not really meant for the comment thread. Please do drop a me line though :) @BrettFromTibet: Well, I offered up some suggested humorous responses to what clients will ask and a few other points, but this proves the effectiveness of powerful titles. I'll post a follow up after we have some fun at the meeting. (We'll save you a seat if you change your mind) :) @SearchBuzz:
