Tell YOUR Story

Your K-Factor

(aka Going Viral)

This Is What

Viral Looks Like

First The Math

(don’t worry)...

k factor = % of customers that share

X

# of shares each (e.g. tweets, emails, likes…)

# of new prospects you get per share

X

# that become actual customers

k > 1 is viral

Let’s Look At It

Practically…

3 customers share 2 tweets each 4 new prospects 1newcustomer

Unfortunately…

50% 2 67% 25%

k factor = 0.17 (not viral)

x x x

For every 100 customers, you’re only getting 17 new ones

If More People

Share Or Convert…

5 customers share 2 tweets each 10 new prospects 8newcustomers

A Hit!
