Resource•  Started with 1 giffgaff staff member monitoring queries –  Answering only if not answered within an hour•  Support of Community manager –  Education and support within the community getting members on board answering questions in other communities•  We’re now self sufficient –  Over time “new Superusers” have come on board –  Rarely a need for giffgaff to replying to questions on 24 Facebook/ twitter

NPS is the % of promoters (scoring 9 or 10) less % of detractors (scoring 0 – 6) answering the question “How likely are you to recommend Product X to a friend or colleague?” on a scale of 1-10. Any score over 50 is considered exceptional.

How it all fits together:A social customer journey “Only a few weeks later, I seriously Hears about gg started looking at giffgaff, a company Id on twitter been told about by @monkeyonahill.” Tweets regularly Goes to forum – – and tweets gets answers at appear in forum feed 10.30pm Blogs & forum Case Study of giffgaff Orders a SIM posts again using MGM – when he gets member Dantup from Join part of Payback forum “As such, if a member refers a friend, they each get £5! (I got mine thanks to @appleboyy).” In 2 weeks… Blogs about gg Activates and on his own blog starts helping on •  3 hours online – links in forum forum •  25 assists •  3 accepted solutions •  400 page views

What I’ve learned•  Clear strategy - what is the purpose of each channel•  Get everyone involved - spend less time worrying about who “owns the channel” more time on what you want to achieve•  Expectations - if you’re active in social channels, people expect you to respond, and quickly•  Make plans - for escalating issues, who and when (proactive/reactive) 28

Next challenges for giffgaff customer service: Value1) Single customer view Influence Engagement2) More user generated content3) More mobile 29
