Social Media Engagement for sales & B2B partner channelsSkeeter Harris
Having the honor to be speaking at GaggleAMP's Employee Advocacy conference on social media and how to engage employees to become brand ambassadors. Below is the session description for this talk along with the slides that I'll be presenting at AMPlify15.
EarthLink started as a pioneer in residential dial-up as an ISP, and have transformed themselves into a managed services provider in business communications and IT services. Leveraging social media in a B2B environment is vastly different then promoting consumer focused products and services. Using a hub and spoke content distribution model and providing impactful content to our sales team and partner channel has helped them extend their reach, increase their professional brand, and delivered sales results.
In this session you will learn:
How to create social media service level agreements for product and event marketing
How to engage sales and partners with social selling and training
What worked on feeding the sales and partner social funnel with GaggleAMP and what didn’t
How to manage the Gaggle members and for those that engaged the success they’ve seen
Event profs often get asked this question, that is, what is actually the difference between planning and managing an event?
Understanding the process of both will give us a clear idea about the difference and how to execute them briefly.
“Plan before you can manage”. In simple words, planning comes before managing, events.
Event planning is a pre-event planning process within overall event management activities that includes budgeting, establishing timelines, selecting and reserving the event sites, acquiring permits, planning food, coordinating transportation, developing a theme, arranging for activities, selecting speakers and keynotes, arranging for equipment and facilities, managing risk, and developing contingency plans.
A better way to differentiate and understand both the terms is by understanding the process involved in both planning and managing an event.

Chapter Events: Deciding on In-Person, Hybrid, or VirtualBillhighway
What’s the outlook for in-person chapter events in 2021 and how do we help chapter leaders decide whether to host an in-person, hybrid, or virtual event?
For nearly a year, CRPs and chapter leaders have focused on virtual. As the vaccine rolls out across the country, the focus is shifting to when chapters can resume in-person meetings (and indeed some already have). But should chapters plan on in-person meetings this year? Can they provide a safe experience? Will members be ready? What about hybrid—the word on everyone’s mind? Is that a viable possibility?
Like you, we had more questions than answers so we tapped one of the brightest minds we know on association and chapter events. Join us as we provide expert advice on how to help chapters make the right event decisions.
Hosted by Billhighway and Mariner Management.
When tasked with developing a presentation for a webinar or virtual meeting, most of us default to creating a PowerPoint deck that we’ll use as the visual element. But what if you weren’t limited to this medium? What if you could add other visual components to capture your audience?

3. What is a Virtual Event?
A virtual event is an online event
that involves people interacting in
a virtual environment on the web,
rather than meeting in a physical
location. Virtual events are multi-
session online events that often
feature webinars and webcasts.
~ Wikipedia
4. Why You Should Do Virtual Events
Virtual event attendance is
increasing faster than live
event attendance.
Professionals rely on video
consumption to gather
information.

at a fraction of the cost.

to engage audiences after the
conference is done.
