Editor's Notes
- Hopefully, by now we all can agree that social media has given consumers the most powerful voice they have ever had. And it’s universally accepted that word of mouth has always been considered the very best form of advertising.Since Facebook’s “Like” button was introduced in the spring of 2010, users can now show their approval of others’ photos, articles, ideas, discoveries, videos, products and services with just one simple click. In fact, it is estimated that Facebook’s “Like” button now gets more than one billion clicks per day!
- We all have an opportunity to reach more people in a significant way through recommendationsIt all starts with improving our communication. And as salespeople or business owners, we can all start by being a more proactive listener and talking less. The more we listen, the more people talk and the faster your relationship grows. So you need to start asking yourself the four ‘What’ questions:(click)(click)(click)(click)
- Here are a few things your customers wish you knew: about them, about how they see you, and about your relationship.(click and read list)Some items on this list might seem cynical, but they’re not. The fact is, it doesn’t matter what kind of customers you have. I don’t care if your customers are kidney donors or Zen masters or million-dollar contributors to your nonprofit organization. Each one of us has some less-than-loveable characteristics that tend to come to the forefront when we’re in the role of customer.If you knew, really knew, these 15 things about your customers, and acted accordingly, you’d gain their trust and even their love. After all, who doesn’t want to be loved despite all our flaws and embarrassing insecurities? The better you understand both the noble and not-so-noble secrets in your customers’ consciousness, the better you can serve them.
- Let’s not get caught up with buzzwords. This is simple. If your clients are important to you then social media is important to you. Because those are your clients speaking to you, direct. You have access to the hearts and mind of the people who use your services – in real time – seven days a week.To create real value from this interaction you need to go beyond the hype of engagement to the simple reality of what social media is about. It’s about understanding what your customers find relevant or important.And to understand what your customers want you need to listen (click) (click) (click) long before you engage.(click) Engagement is only valuable when it is the culmination of listeningConsumers who utilize social media are, by and large, savvy and can spot shallow marketing techniques. Consequently, businesses more than ever, need to be thoughtful in their approach.For me, engagement is not the interaction that happens within superficial discussions on Twitter. It’s not about counting fans on Facebook. It’s the handling of the information. It’s turning that information into insight. That’s engagement. The connections you make.Social media is not a fad. So don’t get caught up in all the hype.If you’re new to social media my advice to you is simple: forget all about the marketing hype of engagement. Start with observing and listening. Analyze what you hear and use it to gain insight into what your customers really find relevant or important.Yes, engagement is important—but listening is critical.
- The Story (click).. a never to be underestimated starting point. A captivating tale to get a message across... and one that gets people talking. It's always about 'the story'. Telling a tale that flows (click), that connects (click), that resonates (click)... *and* that sparks conversation (click) once 'the story' itself, has reached its end. This is evident today more than ever, with the rise of social media - where it's not just about "The Story" anymore... but almost more importantly, the *conversation* surrounding the story. It's easy to gauge what gets people talking, "sharing," "liking" while adding their own thoughts to the original tale. These types of conversations can offer a lot of value to those participating, and especially to the original storyteller.(click) Feedback from our communities = invaluable.This is happening more now than ever on these evolving platforms we all spend so much time on.(click) What 'story' are you telling (click)+ does it get people talking?
