Swimming the Social River
Our contacts,
communications
and activities
are scatteredall over the place
The Problem With Contact Management
• Metrics for Management!
• Value geared towards
reporting
• Little Value to Sales Reps
• Have to force Reps to use
• Tons of Manuel Data Entry
Contacts in Outlook, Address Book and Google Contacts have no Context
cause they are not linked to emails and calendar activities.
*Transactional *Stale *Analytical *Un-Social *Manual
The Problem With Contact Management
The Problem With CRM
• Metrics for Management!
• Value geared towards
reporting
• Little Value to Sales Reps
• Have to force Reps to use
• Tons of Manuel Data Entry
We need to move beyond account-driven paradigm where
customers are merely numbers and engagement is lacking.

Are Sales Tools
Helping Sales
People or Slowing
Them Down?
Is This How Most
Sales People See
Their CRM and
Management?
Are Sales Tools
Helping Sales

60% of Sales

Imagine If That
Time Was Spent

Ensure that every seller has the
required knowledge, skills, processes
and behaviors to optimize every
interaction with buyers.

Social Selling Driving Renaissance In Relationships

Editor's Notes

  1. Personal Branding and the Future Of Corporate Marketing? We are all responsible for our own personal brands and we are market ourselves every day via our actions and our words. Whether we work for a company or as an individual we all market ourselves. And now, in the digital-social-media-age, our personal brands are public record. You are your brand and you need to care for your brand on a daily basis. I’ve been able to create my own personal brand as someone who is knowledgeable and experienced in the fields of Customer Relationship Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Media Marketing, Branding. “Your Brand is What People Say About You When You’re Not in the Room. “Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon says Building your personal brand vs. building your company brand? To me they are often one and the same – your personal brand and your company’s brand. Whether you’re working for someone or yourself, you are, in essence, an ambassador of that brand. You always need to be cognizant that everything you do – be it online or off, is a representation of said brand to a large extent. Today, a company’s brand is built on the promise it makes and the customer experience journey it’s customer has which in many cases, the entire team affects the brand.
  2. Remember that relationships are built on trust. I never ping or reach out in order to selfishly take from people: I always reach out and meet up in person so we can enjoy each other’s company. The one thing I am thinking when I am pinging is always “How can I add value to this person’s life?“ Be authentic, add value – and nurture your network now, so that they’ll want to help you when a mutually beneficial opportunity arises. Your Professional Net-Worth is the Value of your Personal Brand + the Quality of your Professional Network

Your Professional Net-Worth is the Value of your Personal Brand + the Quality of your Professional Network
  4. In the old days we built relationships by going and meeting people in their offices. Looking at their walls, finding areas of commonality and sharing them to develop intimacy and trust. It’s only after establishing this that they will open up about their business issues which as a professional you can start helping them solve them. For so many people we are forgetting the power of personal touch and communications. Email and social channels proliferate and actual face to face connections in real life, phone, video chats and hand written notes are becoming less common. The other day I met someone I had conversed with on the phone and social a number of times but it wasn't until we met in person that a conversation happened in which we really got to know each other. It resulted in a huge business opportunity for Nimble.
  5. The ways we communicate has exploded all over the place and I wonder if it will slow down. We need to be able to listen and engage on the channels our customers are communicating on.
  6. This is just the first wave of change. The full extent has not even begun to be felt.
  7. Most people are still on the sidelines looking in at best.
  8. Those of us that have dove into the social river sometimes feel overwhelmed.
  9. We are all trying to find our own unique personal voice.

  12. Your market has already been disrupted. Through an unforgiving series of technology revolutions paired with an era of individual empowerment, your customers are not only more informed, their expectations have matured. The “C” change in consumerism has ushered in a genre of connected consumers. As a result, your customers are learning about you or your competitors differently. How they make decisions does not at all follow a linear path. How they are influenced and in turn influence others is profound in its reach and effect. What was once simplistic, or overly simplistic depending on your point of view, representation of a fluted customer journey is in fact much more dynamic and connected.

  14. Traditional relationships, roles and leadership models are being challenged every day in our post industrial, social web enabled, information driven, people centric business world. Old approaches to managing employees, with their roots in the industrial society are not adequate for hyper-connected, socially aware employees. We need a new paradigm for getting things done and for empowering a new breed of employee that does not function well in a hierarchal, top down, highly controlled environment. This is a start anyway. This new social business model can, I believe, create a work environment that values the individual and increases employee productivity significantly with the correct balance of individual to corporate control. Striking that balance will no doubt take some experimentation and vary by industry and role but is critical in the emerging social business culture. It is not sufficient to only address the social customer in this new model, the new interaction models span customers, employees, suppliers and partners. You can't, IMHO expect to change corporate culture around customer engagement if you can't first create an environment for the social employee.
  15. We have to find a way to manage these channels efficiently, don’t we? -- so we don’t start our days fretting. We have to find a productive way to work, and to me that place to start is to become an organism with everyone on one team. We’ve got to get rid of departments, because they work against the efficiency of the team.
  16. I’d like to start this talk by taking a look at the big picture of what has happened in social business (aka CRM) in recent history So in the recent past, CRM as we knew it was transactional databases -- because management didn’t trust Sales -- It was basically a software ball-and-chain for people. It was about running reports. The whole idea was sales tracking, it wasn’t really about customers. You had the modules: the “service module, the “marketing module,” and the “sales module,” and they didn’t communicate with each other --

  20. Personal Branding and the Future Of Corporate Marketing? We are all responsible for our own personal brands and we are market ourselves every day via our actions and our words. Whether we work for a company or as an individual we all market ourselves. And now, in the digital-social-media-age, our personal brands are public record. You are your brand and you need to care for your brand on a daily basis. I’ve been able to create my own personal brand as someone who is knowledgeable and experienced in the fields of Customer Relationship Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Media Marketing, Branding. “Your Brand is What People Say About You When You’re Not in the Room. “Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon says Building your personal brand vs. building your company brand? To me they are often one and the same – your personal brand and your company’s brand. Whether you’re working for someone or yourself, you are, in essence, an ambassador of that brand. You always need to be cognizant that everything you do – be it online or off, is a representation of said brand to a large extent. Today, a company’s brand is built on the promise it makes and the customer experience journey it’s customer has which in many cases, the entire team affects the brand.
  21. Your market has already been disrupted. Through an unforgiving series of technology revolutions paired with an era of individual empowerment, your customers are not only more informed, their expectations have matured. The “C” change in consumerism has ushered in a genre of connected consumers. As a result, your customers are learning about you or your competitors differently. How they make decisions does not at all follow a linear path. How they are influenced and in turn influence others is profound in its reach and effect. What was once simplistic, or overly simplistic depending on your point of view, representation of a fluted customer journey is in fact much more dynamic and connected.
  22. So my wife was building a garden.... and she wanted it to be self sustaining. The plants she selected attracted the right ecosystem -- insects and birds -- that created a self-sustaining environment. She brought them in and nurtured them and encouraged them to thrive. It’s the same with business, people attract the right people, nurture them, and that model can be the foundation of a garden that gets more established and valuable each year. NOW COMES THE BIG ENDING -- sort of a “kumbaya” ending -- just leave the garden slide up through to the end You know, I talk all the time about how important relationships are. They are important, but ultimately it’s not even about the relationship. The relationship is a means to an end -- and that end goal is about serving, about helping each other. That’s what we are wired to do. That’s what these smart kids are saying when they say they want to “change the world” with their startups. I think they might just be on to something -- that it might be possible, with all the great things that are happening -- with all the great tools that are available -- it might be possible to find a way to merge our personal lives and our business lives. To create revenue AND to do good. To profit AND have happy employees. To create a more mutually beneficial future. To create a better world.
