We meet a lot of people in our daily work, some who really get social media and, of course, others who don’t. But we are always happily surprised when we come across small business professionals who have really been successful in using social media and Web 2.0 tools to market themselves and drive business.

So we decided introduce a fun feature on our site where we highlight some folks we consider to be “social media stars” in the interest of inspiring all of us about the power of social media. Once a month, we’ll introduce you to a business person (on the small to medium size side) who has truly embraced these tools and ask them to share their experience and advice. Hopefully, we’ll all learn a thing or two!

Each person selected will receive the badge above to post on their Web site to show off their designation. If you’d like to be considered, please send me an email to lmettler@stepaheadinc.com explaining how you use social media for business and how it’s been successful for you.

First up for January is Stacey Crew, organizing expert, who blows me away with her super savvy online activity!
