DESCRIPTION
My slides for B2B Marketing Forum 2011 in Amsterdam.Description:Your company’s efforts in social media inevitably cost time, money, and resources. But how do you measure success? And how can you avoid that social media becomes nothing more than a cost center? Don’t worry: even though social media metrics tend to be, as Jim Sterne wrote, “a little fuzzy”, it is still possible to define clear, measurable objectives and KPIs that link directly to your business targets. Clo’s presentation concludes with proven tactics that add true value to the conversation – even if you’re in B2B.

Social Media are changing the way we live our lives
and do business
“Being open should not be a mantra or philosophy, but a considered, rigorous approach to strategy and leadership that yields real results."
Innovation vs openness
Innovation vs IT
It means your staff are going to be coming up with solutions on their own. [...] The technology doesn’t come from the information technology
department; IT’s new job is to support and encourage employees."
Innovation vs customer care
“To succeed with empowered customers, you must empower your employees to
solve customer problems.”
Every employee is first line
“Companies are unable to scale to keep up with the social phenomenon. We know that customers are using these social technologies to share their voices, and companies are having a very difficult time to keep up. [...] Customers don’t care what department you’re in they just want their problem fixed.”

“Cold calling [...] will become less prominent. Rather than pick up the telephone and call someone we have never contacted, we will pick up the telephone and call someone with whom we have had an established relationship via Twitter or Linkedln.”
