Joe Fernandez, CEO Klout@ Mesh Marketing Toronto, November 15, 2011
Speaks To New Changes On Klout:
• Once your real name is online, your personal brand matters.
• There is, and will continue to be, a lot more focus on context.
• It is not about the number of followers; it is about how many
engaged followers you have.
• Klout had to improve and make the change.
• Although a score in the 50s is a good rating; the trouble is
nowhere else in your life is 52 a good number!

What Does All This Mean?

• Use it as a gauge
• Do the research
• Understand the context
• Remember the human-side of influence
• Balance your assessment
• Build the relationship
