• “You have been
influenced when you think
something you otherwise
would not have thought or
do something you would
not have done”

The definitions of influence, key influencer
and influencee are important and
demonstrate the relationship between
individuals. However, a practitioner needs
tools to differentiate the qualities or
‘attributes’ of one influencer or cohort from
another.

WOMMA

Measurement of potential to influence
requires a methodology for determining who
is influential in the network. While there are
no certainties, your objective is to determine
the key influencer or cohorts that will
maximize the influencer program outcomes
for your brand.
