Editor's Notes
- #12 And what do you think I heard when I asked them these questions?
- #13 Flickr Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobtravis/2815117758/sizes/l/in/photostream/ That’s right, crickets chirping. And that’s a shame. Because social media data is some of the most powerful stuff we have. To fully understand what the possiblities are for getting the best out of your social media data, let’s take a look at where we cam from.
- #15 Flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/koalazymonkey/3651288422/sizes/o/in/photostream/ It really wasn’t that long ago – just 15 or 20 years or so – that this was how I found a LOT of organizations dealing with data. Typed up lists and index cards. A file folder for each donor or volunteer.
- #16 Flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrlerone/2147320982/sizes/l/in/photostream/ And then you upgraded to this – the excel spreadsheet. Which was a big step forward. But once you got to column MZ in the spreadsheet or row 3,789, things started getting out of hand. Not to mention the fact that everyone had their own version of this spreadsheet, plus five other spreadsheets to manage other data. And you would guard those spreadsheets with your life so that no one would screw them up. Which ultimately meant that no one was sharing any data anywhere in the office.
- #17 Flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/windsordi/3309941563/sizes/o/in/photostream/ And then we got databases, which made entering and sharing data much easier. Only problem is that each organization probably has more than one database. Development loves one thing, the volunteer manager another. The advocacy department insists on their tool, etc. In the last 5 years in particular, we have been focused on tearing down the data silos, making all those tools that we use work together better. But if we look back at social media, it turns out that it’s just another
- #18 Flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dean_forbes/102878853/sizes/l/in/photostream/ And this is the worst kind. Here’s why.
- #19 You have a relationship...of sorts. They care about the work you do. You give them ways to make a difference. It works out nicely. Kind of like how Don brought home the paycheck and Betty kept the household running. Pre-social media, it was assumed by both you and your stakeholder that YOU owned the relationship. Sure - you might ask them for feedback, provide them some options for getting involved, but you dictated the when and where. You picked the night, the time and restaurant for every date. Post social media, and especially those self-publishing tools like blogs and YouTube, your stakeholders are upsetting this nice arrangement. Suddenly, they want to pick the kind of food, and also your outfit. For the first time, the STAKEHOLDER is in control of the relationship. Which is really the point behind:
- #20 Flickr photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/lonelybob/67020777/sizes/o/in/photostream/ The Customer is Always RightSo really, we've gotten what we asked for. Lucky us! And that's a lot of the tension we're feeling today. The Stakeholder is actually right, and asserts her rights. She is going to talk about you, take action for you, give you money, etc. any time, place or way she pleases.
- #21 And if you can't deal with that, she's gonna find another cause (Betty's new husband).
- #22 So if Betty's off being liberated, we've got some issues.
- #23 Flick Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/zub/35070981/sizes/o/in/photostream/ 1. Responding. Betty is talking to you all over town, only if all that chatting isn't making its way back into your CRM, you can't respond. And when you go to make that next appeal, you might not know that she thought your seal campaign was dumb, but loved the puppy campaign. And you might send her the seal campaign, which would obviously be a mistake.
- #24 Flickr Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dullhunk/426622486/sizes/o/in/photostream/ Calculating. It was easy to know what Betty was up to when the only way she could respond was via a check in a pre-printed envelope. Now we have absolutely no idea what's going on. Betty might receive an ask via an email, but respond to the volunteer opportunity on your FaceBook Fan Page. We need new math. And if we're not tracking these interactions, we won't develop it.
- #25 Flickr Photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/matthewmcvickar/154077776/sizes/l/in/photostream/ Really Targeting. What if you could pull Betty's FaceBook "Likes" on your page into your database? What would that tell you about Betty? How could you use that data to give her better content? Which isn'y necessarily about increasing your fundraising, it's about giving more value to Betty.
- #27 Explain graphic For now, there isn't a tool out there that can deliver this kind of seamless integration. But we can start to approximate some of this in our own models. We can start to get some of that siloed data out of the social media space and into our CRM so that we can turn it into actionable intelligence.
- #28 Just like we started collecting emails a decade ago.
