I would use Social Media in Business because nowadays the use of technology has increase a lot; there are more people talking to others online than face to face. Also, the relationship employee-costumer it’s very important for a company, because this will make costumers feel confident about buying there and motives them to ask about an important issue. For that, the company will need to use Social Media to communicate their new ideas to get more attention, and also make a blog or platform where the costumers can interact with the employees, asking about doubts, problems, or simple questions about the company. In this way, Business companies will allow building a strong relationship of trust between them and people.

I consider that the use of social media at work depends on the type of business. That is to say, if it is a company that wants to announce a new product or that the purpose of the company is to sell a good or service, I think that social media is important at work since we are in an era where everything is handled with these social media. On the other hand, if the company is engaged in office work such as the engineering companies, I consider that the use of social media at business is not indispensable, it is more, and these would be a distraction.

Would you use social media in your business?

Yes.

First of all, there is a difference between personal social network´s accounts and business related accounts; however, both need to be managed correctly. If I had my own business I would let the use of social network for publicity, communication and information spread purposes, these accounts would be carefully managed by someone with enough knowledge about social networks and the consequences that a wrong decision could bring to the company’s image. When it comes to the company´s employees’ personal accounts there is nothing that I could do. Nowadays most of the young people are capable to manage their responsibilities away from their cellphones, maybe this issue was a huge problem back then when people were strangers to Social Networks and it was though that literally everything needed to be posted online; nevertheless, a set of rules wouldn’t harm a person.

There are many reasons why we should have a flawless grammar in Business English, but for me the two most important are: be considered as a respectable employer and have success in your work. The first one, a respectable employer, is because I won’t be respected if I have many mistakes writing, using wordy lines, coping and pasting all the information. The only way that I can prove I’m a professional is by showing my skills of good grammar.
