Companies Must Approach Social Programs In A Coordinated Effort<\/strong>
\nMany companies are enthralled by the opportunity to use social technologies to connect with customers, yet many lack a plan or coordinated effort. Additionally, things are going to get more difficult as they don’t realize that as consumers and employees rapidly adopt these tools the level of complexity increases across the organization. While it’s easy to get caught up on the specific new technologies that are constantly emerging, companies should focused on business trends and themes in 2010. In particular, companies must develop a business strategy based on customer understanding, put the baseline resources in place to get your company ready, deliver a holistic experience to customers –and build advocacy programs and anticipate customer need. <\/p>\n

To Be Successful, Companies Should Focus On Four Key Trends<\/strong>
\nWhile there are many themes in 2010 for companies, II focused in on the four key themes companies must focus on:<\/p>\n

1) Don’t fondle the hammer.<\/strong> Understand customers, focus on objectives, not develop strategies based on ever-changing tools. Companies really need to understand their customers first, see our recorded webinar<\/a> to learn more.
\n2) Live the 80% rule.<\/strong> This is a movement: get your company ready. 80% of success is getting the right organizational model, roles, processes, stakeholders, and teams assembled –only 20% should be focused on technology.
\n3) Customers don’t care what department you’re in. <\/strong> Customers just want their problem fixed, they don’t care what department you’re in. Yet, now, nearly every department can have a direct relationship with your customers using social tools. As a result, provide customers with a holistic experience Start to investigate how brand monitoring, community tools and CRM systems are merging.
\n4) Real time is *not* fast enough.<\/strong> Companies cannot scale when it comes to social media, for most companies, you cannot hire enough people to monitor and respond to the conversation, As a result, lean on advocates, by building unpaid armies, and anticipate customer needs through advanced listening techniques.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This event was hosted last night at the Silicon Valley American Marketing Association<\/a> nice redesign, and hosted by Adobe (disclosure: an Altimeter client<\/a>). I was later joined by Jeannette Gibson<\/a>, social media executive of global marketing at Cisco, Ed Terpening<\/a>, VP of Social Media at Wells Fargo, Maria Povermo<\/a>, leading Social Media in Marketing at Adobe, and Rob Fuggetta<\/a> of Zuberance to have a lively panel on how they are using these technologies. The event was recorded, I’ll add a link as soon as it becomes available.<\/p>\n
