En stor utmaning för ett säljföretag i dag är inte bara att identifiera och attrahera en specifik målgrupp. Det bör även skapa sig en bild av hur organisationen bör kommunicera med den presumtiva kunden för att skapa en stadig relation, som i sin tur kan borga för återköp. Situationen som uppstår då en försäljare för första gången interagerar med en kund kallas sanningens ögonblick. Det är vid detta ögonblick som grunden till en hållbar relation mellan säljare och kund förhoppningsvis läggs. Det är av högsta vikt för ett företag att försäljaren är införstådd i det beteende som företaget anser vara korrekt, och på så sätt återspeglar den attityd och kundbild som organisationen har för avsikt att förmedla gentemot kunden.

Kvalitativ metod har tillämpats i studien i form av mailintervjuer Slutsatser: Tidigt i arbetet kunde vi uppdaga att det rådde meningsskiljaktigheter vad gällde definitionen och synen på sociala medier. Vissa forskare samt några utav våra respondenter ansåg att sociala medier var någonting fult, nästan förkastligt som inte hör hemma i marknadsföringsvärlden. Medan andra forskare samt ett antal utav våra respondenter ansåg att sociala medier var en länk mellan producent och konsument,2sociala medier var arenor för samtal. Några ansåg även att sociala medier var en helt naturlig uppkomst då vanlig reklam inte längre påverkar människor i samma utsträckning som tidigare.
