Did you know that you can use Twitter to generate sales leads in real time for you? You can register for Twitter's notification service that will let you know if someone adds a post that includes your search terms.
For example, if you are a florist, you can set the service to notify you for phrases such as "anniversary", "celebration", "special event", etc. With this, you will get notifications (through text or email messages) when people tweet with your search terms. These are people likely to be interested in your services. You have to then follow that person, reply to their tweet and offer your services.
A marketing services provider might register for phrases such as "lead generation", "campaigns" etc. Remember, the key here is to choose right phrases that are unique to your target market.
