SMB Superheroes: Winning in 2010

Editor's Notes

  1. Well I’d like to start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year I think all of us will attest that 2009 was a tough year. Many companies have been hit hard by recession, many reduced budgets, froze headcount and some laid off.If you made it through unscathed, I hope you find yourself stronger, leaner and better than you were before – even if you feel a bit battle scarred, and maybe apprehensive about the future.Many small business owners, executives and marketers find themselves feeling that way – a bit like the person in this diagram – trying to get on top of things.It doesn’t help any that 2009 was a year of unsurpassed social media explosion, and while the tools are positioned by many as “free” they come with a distinct set of costs with regard to time and investment that may not have been anticipated by your organization.As a result, many of us are facing a lot more pressure to do more with less, and getting on top of the demands and expectations we – and our superiors may place on us can be stressful.But when we really look back on 2009, it was kind of an amazing year.The opportunities available to us as individuals, and as business people are unprecedented.My hope with this presentation is to help you get a little LEVERAGE on your year… It’ll be a year of doing more with less…working smarter, and a little harder… and I also believe that for each one of us…
  2. 2010 is also the year for decision. As you face the onslaught you must decide
  3. Whether you
  4. Hasn’t been for some time
  5. It’s about earning the affinity of people… and that takes time, and touch and hard work… It’s not about traditional marketing any more because everything has shifted.And if we were to summarize this, it may just look like this:
  6. It used to be about targeting customers, preaching our message and getting them to trust usIn the era of Enron, Madoff and others – there’s less trust for companies- and more trust for people.Today, it’s about joining people in conversation, serving people and motiviating PEOPLE to share their enthusiasm for our brands AND driving them to DESIRED outcomes.Our messages used to be distributed through limited channels over which we had more control…Now there are hundreds of customer access points an the dialog is participative, and organic… These channels must be integrated so our experiences are seamlessbecause today, experience creates the brand and if your experience sucks, so do you.And that means you’ve got to be working in synchronization with the rest of the company to deliver good experience.That means true integration…..And the professionally generated content that used to be classified and presented in structures we defined…Is now RICH – with audio, video and animation… it’s threaded – immersive…And it’s PARTICIPATIVE… our fans are contributing content like never beforeSome of it’s good- some not so goodAnd they tag, rate, classify our content in ways we might not have imagined.Consider COKE - they classify it as liquid refreshment… but you can also find it referenced as a great toilet bowl cleaner, and Coca Cola doesn’t have much of a say in that.Finally, at a practical level, today’s marketing is more TECHNICAL…. AND much more SERVICE focused.
  7. I’ll offer four short words here
  8. This is going on…It’s a bunny explosion
  9. And then there’s
  10. I searched the web for a suitable definition of social media, and couldn’t find one I liked, so I wrote one.……Social Media Technologies also allow people to easily distributetext, voice, images, links and video, in real-time or near-time, across a number of networked devices
  11. It took over 75 YEARS to get to 90% saturation with the telephone in the USAccording to this chart, it took about 25 years to get to the same place with the cellular phoneIn parallel – Look at the curve for 90% on the automobile…Adoption curves are getting much shorter – and I wish this graphic went longer but it doesn’t just one of the better visuals I’ve seen.
  12. CONVERGENCESo, we have all these interconnected devices that do more than one thing now. Your TV can surf the web, grab videos on demand and check you out of your hotel …Your iPod Touch can do multiplayer gaming connect with other iPods and iPhonesAnd speaking of phones The mobile phone is a perfect example.I would guess that 99% of you have one of these and that right at this moment, you know exactly where it is.It’s not just your phone, but email, a gameboy, your key, a virtual wallet, your rolodex, a music player and even a video player.It connects with all kinds of the aforementioned apps and tools – in addition to your email, your bank and other key sites
  13. 2/3 in the global community, according to Nielsen
  14. Time spent on social networks is growing at three times the overall internet average, accounting for about 10% of all internet time useNielsen, Global Faces & Networked Places, 2009
  15. 5 BILLION minutes spent on Facebook every day1 BILLION piecesd of unique content shared on Facebook every minuteInside Facebook stats –Facebook has been growing very rapidly amongst women and people over 30 in the US, and it has been absolutely exploding internationally (January highlights).45% of Facebook’s US audience is now 26 years old or older. (Fall 2009 data – inside Facebook)
  16. You Tube - #2 search engine in the world1,000,000 videos viewed on you tube per day (Facebook – Fall 2009 stats)15 hours of video are uploaded to You Tube every 15 minutesIt would take more than 412 YEARS to review every video on You Tube
  17. In contrast, there are only slightly under6 Billion 800 Million people on the planet today. Roughly .6 photos per person on the planet…Number of photos will soon surpass the global population.
  18. Not sure how many of you saw this over the AP Wire on the News… You can find it on You Tube…It was pretty cute.More than 20 million people visit at least one online dating service a month. (Online Dating Magazine - 2007)40 million americans uses online dating services48% of breakups occur over emailCULTURAL SHIFT
  19. All of this points to the era of “ME 2.0” where these sites, tools, gadgets and devices are extensions of PEOPLE…reaching out… to connect with youWhether you are B2B, or B2C
  20. We still use signsWe still have the radio – only now, we have podcasting, pandora and webcasting.We do still have print – many more books now than ever in our history – but we also have kindle and ebooks and online newspapers.The web is rich with video – and our TIVO can be controlled through the web while connected to a satellite or cable network.The technologies mature, multiply and interconnect – BUT the dynamics of communication, relationship building and the fundamentals of creating a good customer experience don’t change! So if our focus is on these communication dynamics and our customers and their needs, we can be great even in the midst of change.It’s actually pretty cool.
  21. Getting your head around it can be overwhelming. If we’re smart, we will do our best keep up – not just because these advancements can make us better at our jobs, improve our businesses and create better, more satisfying experiences for customers.We can’t just go around doing the same thing we always have and expect the same results – because it won’t workOur culture, the way we think and consume information is changing in front of our eyes.Keeping up is better than the alternative
  22. Keeping up is better than the alternative. Facing extinction is not a good place to be in today’s economy.We must do our best to keep up at a level that is slightly AHEAD of our customers…If nothing else, fear should be an important motivator here.
  23. So let’s dig into 10 supertraits that will help you succeed in 2010
  24. Superman battled with his call at a young age…Remember at one point, he gave up his superpowers for Lois…You will battle the mediocreYou may have to become Super aloneYou will be working harderYou must decide whether to embrace this callYou must decide whether it will be worth it.
  25. This is, very simply put, about being available, responding to people, serving their needs, and having the right culture – inside (learning, growing) and outside (customer focus)
  26. Simple formula.The Brand IS as the brand does.You are the some outcome of your actions and so is your company
  27. 2010 will be as much about corporate policies and actions as it will about traditional brand management. The costume is the packaging and the promise – but the hero must live up to that.You can put a 90 lb. weakling in a super suit – but you’re not going to convince anyone he is Superman unless he stops a train with his bare, bony hands.In the same manner we must remember that negative customer experience SOILS and TEARS at our brands.There’s LOTS of hype in branding about two things today.. TRANSPARENCY and AUTHENTICITYI want to address them because I feel they are inherently misleading.
  28. Transparency is an illusion. It’s like having people over for dinner and putting your junk in a back room or closet. We all do it. We all have stuff we don’t want people to see.While the new digital media channels create an increased level of transparency – about your discussions, policies, etc., you do NOT have to be totally open kimono. In fact, I would discourage it. In following the super hero example, Every superhero has an assumed identityThey don’t show everything as either personaThey are always personable … but always professional They know how to protect areas of vulnerability This is how your business should approach new media. Now, you’ve probably heard “Authenticity” as an admonishment and buzzword to. Next, I may scream if I hear someone else preaching for us to “BE AUTHENTIC.” This term always makes me wince, because I DO see a lot of authenticity in new marketing,
  29. You’veprobably seen it, too … and we can all attest that it’s it’s NOT all good! There are PLENTY of authentically bad companies and personae out there…We don’t need more authentically BAD.BE AUTHENTIC – for many companies isn’t good enough.Focus on being honest, open and PERSONABLE while maintaining that PROFESSIONAL undercurrent that speaks to your brand and business.
  30. Because in the end the winners are all authentically good.
  31. Batman was the king of backup. He had faithful butler, Alfred Pennyworth, his sidekick, Robin and Bat Girl… Alfred managed ops at the Bat Cave and made a lot of the team’s gadgets.What do you look for?!Bright, Motivated EmployeesReputable AgenciesTrustworthy Consultants, Designers, Web DevelopersLegal CounselStrong AccountantGood Technical SupportALSO Consider UsingVirtual Communities e.g. Mprofs…there’s so much good content on the web that can provide you with the backup education and knowledge you need.
  32. This is especially true with regard to social media. There are a ton of people offering follow schemes, bogus certifications and making all kinds of promises and charging a good deal for it. I wrote an article on my blog called ‘Don’t be social media Shark Bait” and I described some of the predators to look out forI’d rather focus on the positive here
  33. Here’s what you want to look for when you look for external support.It’s not about TALK and NUMBERS Look at their overall presence – who they talk to – what they talk about and what others say about themLook for word of mouth and client referencesLook for humility – share failure, learning, experiencesGo use the stuff they’ve createdTry to find partners that will roll up their sleeves and get dirty when needed.
  34. BATCAVE was important for these reasonsThink of mIssion – plan – control as your process. Don’t mistake a pretty power point with a plan – In too many companies often just a list of stuff you want to doA good plan will unite the organization, ignite collaboration and support cross organizational communication and collaborationNow we can talk about planning all day if we want, but we don’t have time for that.
  35. Sufficed to say, it’s essential to create an actionable, measurable plan that clearly specifies your goal and objectives, strategies, tactics and metrics that will support those objectives. Check out Beth Harte’s recent posts on planning on the MP Daily Fix Blog or her presentation on Social Media ROI on Slideshare.IN SHORT … Chances are, if you are seeing these symptoms in your organization there are some problems with the strategy, executive championship and organizational alignment (among other things)Getting yourself positioned to succeed in 2010 requires the following:
