• Dabbling in social listening occurs

• Initial understanding of conversation landscape

• Perceive potential benefits of listening

• Still disconnected to business operations

• Share insights broadly

• Key players/responders identified (i.e. product, marketing, support)

• Develop initial response process, start engaging

• Starts to be embedded in business operations

• Executive sponsorship

• Social listening and engagement drives real business results

• Cross-functional teams partner to listen, engage consistently and make changes based on insights

• Listening data matched with other data to provide real-time overall health of brand

• Customer understanding occurs via focus groups, surveys, or phone channel/support

• No concerted effort around social listening; possible skepticism about benefits

Social Media Noise PriorityAction-Based Conversations

ABCs

Page 5: ABC Listening & Engagement Strategy at Cisco

• Support – Request for help resolving real-time issue (support)

• Question – Question that doesn’t require support resource (tech docs)

• Critic – Insult that merits brand management consideration (PR)

• Buzz – Praise from Cisco brand advocate (marketing)

• Lead – Pronouncement of near-term purchase decision (sales)

• Idea – Request to enhance a product with a new feature (product dev.)

• Ambush – Communication from an unauthorized provider of Cisco products (legal)

First we classify the Action-Based Conversations (ABCs)

Page 6: ABC Listening & Engagement Strategy at Cisco

Then we prioritize them with a response SLA using 1-2-3

Priority 1

Action required within 24 hours. Escalation email triggered, immediate follow up required.

Priority 2

Action required within 72 hours. Assigned to responsible party and added to queue, action required.

Priority 3

No immediate action is required. Left up to assigned user’s discretion to take action.

This varies by business unit, and community. B2C companies tell us they respond in a matter of minutes, not hours or days.

Dee: Yes. And I Apologize for the late response. We've learned that you have an interest in getting a switch. How can we help you further on this?

[Customer]: Networking isn't my forte- I know just enough to be dangerous. I've got three switches at least in my environment already and I'm adding another.

[…full transcript omitted…]

Dee: Since you are not experiencing problems as of the moment, I think the SG200 would be suitable for you. This switch will create a new group outside of your current setup

[Customer]: Yeah, we'll likely just order it form Newegg.

[Customer]: Thanks for your help Dee.

We’re even capturing leads by integrating with our Global Demand Center

Click-to-ChatDee: hi David!

[Customer]: Hello Dee, I see you already know who I am.

Exit Feedback: Excellent Rating!
