The way we do business is changing......

The way in which we do business is changing. As a nation we have gone from the cottage industries where we shopped locally and knew the name of the bank manager and only did business with those who we knew and trusted, to the 90’s world of overseas call centres and automated calling. The world wide web offering making the world a contactable smaller place, the rise of the large and faceless corporation and the relief when we heard we were only 5th in the queue to now, 2009, the last part of the first decade in the third millennium. The phrase “Third millennium business” is becoming more frequent, but what actually is it and why is a Letting Agent writing about it?

Third Millennium business will bring together the era of Web2 and the rise of social media. As we are more conversant in technology than ever before we will use the web to upload and share more. Facebook was one of the largest rising social network groups amongst middle aged people. We use the web to find businesses and services and to find and share information with other people. We use people in our friend groups and contact lists on social media sites to link into business and products. The faces and contributions of people on these sites become people we trust and want to do business with. Third Millennium business cuts out the larger corporations because people buy people first and gravitate to do business through people they trust. We no longer automatically trust the suited corporate bankers, the hard sales person and the politician. This form of Authority is not what it once was, we want to do business with people we trust, people with a profile, we want honesty, transparency, accountability, communication. We want to deal with people
