		<itunes:summary>[public_post]When I first started using Twitter, like many, I did not know what I was doing. My networking mentor Thomas Power told me I should be using Twitter and so I gave it a go! I then did the normal search to find out how to get more followers and found there were plenty of people happy to give advice. There were more Twitter lsquo;expertsrsquo; than you can shake a pointed stick at!
 
There was one person the lsquo;people in the knowrsquo; kept talking about ndash; Nikki Pilkington . I was intrigued by Nikki because, unlike the other people giving out Twitter advice, she had lots of followers and yet she did not seem to be following many people. That told my simplistic mind that she is someone people listen to.

The one thing members ofThe Accidental Salesman Business Development Club keep asking me is ldquo;How do I use Twitter to find clients?rdquo; I am still a novice and I wanted to find out just as much as anyone else!

So I turned to Nikki Pilkington to see if she would let me interview her for the monthly Accidental Salesman Business Development Club teleseminar. I was half expecting Nikki to decline as she is someone who refuses to call herself a Twitter expert! So I was delighted when she said ldquo;YESrdquo;  

As expected, the Teleseminar was well attended and the information was brilliant. So good, in fact, that I have decided to share the edited recording with non-members to demonstrate the quality of teleseminar members get each month ndash; totally free!

Below you will see a small image with Audio MP3 on it. Click on the play button above it and you will begin to hear the edited highlights of the teleseminar.  Itrsquo;s 30 minutes of pure information and, like all our free teleseminars, no sales pitch!

Specifically, Nikki shares the following information:
Why following people who follow you is a BAD strategy
How to decide what to Tweet
How to find out when people are discussing buying what you offer
Nikkirsquo;s 5 top tips on how to use Twitter to find clients
How to keep your time on Twitter to just 15 minutes a day

So I hope you enjoy it and decide to join me in The Accidental Salesman Business Development Club and take part in our exclusive free monthly teleseminars.

Best wishes
