At Cisco Partner Velocity last week, the Channels blog caught up with David Nour--author of the book “Relationship Economics,” speaker, and Managing Partner of The Nour Group.
In his keynote at the event, Nour covered ways to “unleash the power of social media,” but not just by getting more followers, collecting more friends, and increasing page views on your blog. Turns out, social media success is all about building relationships and influence where ROI stands for “return on influence.”
Check out this interview with Nour to find out his favorite social media tools, ways to gain trust, and how to increase your influence.

We’ve wrapped up an action-packed week at Partner Velocity in Barcelona, Spain where Cisco partners learned, not only to change their way of thinking about marketing, but also to use social media in innovative ways.
I had a chance to interview speaker and creative director of Thinque Anders Sorman-Nilsson about ideas and how to “thinque funky.”
Anders says that in a highly digital world, high touch (and appealing to our customers’ hearts and emotions) is key. He also talked about thought leaders, those who have unleashed their own inner super heroes, who blaze a trail in new thinking.
What else did partners learn at the event? Here are just a few memorable quotes from speakers.
