Questions
If you have any questions, don’t bother asking because I don’t really care if you have any questions, what your opinion is or what you think. If you ask a question I will ignore
you
How many companies treat their customers that way? How ‘social’ is your organisation?

Social Media (External)
![Page 16: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Let’s start with a few questions?
![Page 17: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Social Media: The State of Play
Where are we in our use of social media?
What progress has been made?
Where are we going?
![Page 18: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What road are we on?
![Page 19: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Our View on Progress Made
Interest and enthusiasm has grown rapidly
Channels are being set up
But lack of strategic planning leads to problems down the line - resourcing, content, customers, performance measurement, business impact and ROI
A broadcast mentality prevails…….
![Page 20: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Is there something fundamentally wrong with our
approach to Social Media?
![Page 21: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Something Wrong…..
Are we using social media as just another PR/marketing channel for broadcasting messages AT customers telling them how good we are?
Is anyone listening anymore?
Have the rules of businesschanged?
![Page 22: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Be Social
New ‘mindsets’ are required to be successful in social media
‘BE SOCIAL BEFORE
DOING SOCIAL’
![Page 23: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Be ‘Customer Led’
Talking WITH rather than AT your customers is the core foundation of a successful social media strategy
The basis of a good conversation is to listen first

From Tripadvisor
• It's getting old, the rooms are unappealing and it will never be more than a business hotel
• Being a Sofitel hotel we expected something quite 'flashy' unfortunately we were let down. The rooms, although comfortable and clean, were not of the standard we expected and were definately not what we expected after looking at the photos on the hotel's website.
• Booking my stay via the Sofitel website after a pleasant experience at several other Sofitel locations over the past 2 years with my new job I was looking forward to a 5 star luxury stay after a stressful business trip. My expectations were reasonable, however certainly not met by this hotel

Media

1. It’s a Revolution
A fundamental and revolutionary changein online behaviour, expectations and the online customer experience. The end of the ‘read only’ internet
Content generated by the network for the network
We are no longer passive consumers of content/brand messages
![Page 53: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
2. It’s Social
A conversation not a broadcast platform
Conversations are taking place relevant to your brand – are you listening?
![Page 54: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Social Media Monitoring
![Page 60: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The Connected Consumer

3. Power Shift
Social media empowers customers, empowers the network
We no longer control the brand The brand becomes the customer
experience of the brand – experiences that are widely
shared online
![Page 62: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

4. Declining Effectiveness
Declining effectiveness of traditional approaches to sales and marketing Does anyone listen any more?
We are no longer passive sheep waiting to be ‘driven’ to your web site
If you treat us like sheep, we will tell youto ‘flock off’.

5. The End of Business as Usual
New ‘mindsets’, new business approaches and new performance measures are required
NOT a broadcast medium. Its about listening to and engaging with customers, partners, your community, your tribe
This is something we are not very good at doing. We prefer telling people how good we are

New Performance Measures

Content
• Quality is critical – add value
• Adopt an ‘outside-in’ rather than ‘inside-out’ approach
• Sales messages OK but subtle and in moderation
• Beware of gaffes
• Not just publishing content but also customer service
![Page 107: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)

Customers
Build the Community– Be strategic – size matters, but ‘who’ is just as
important– Use existing communications channels– Use the community building tools of each
channel– Start by following, engaging then be followed– Role of ‘Key Influencers’ is critical– Avoid ‘get follower fast’ schemes
![Page 111: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
Conversation
• Social media is ‘marketing as a conversation’ with your network. It is not about one way broadcasting
• Actively encourage interaction e.g. blog posts end with request for comments/feedback; on Twitter use Reply, RTs often; on Facebook/Linkedin – participate in groups/forums
• This has time and resource implications
![Page 112: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Conversion
Agree and measure the main ‘call to actions’ you are aiming for
![Page 113: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
5. Organisation, People, Resources
• Build the right organisational ‘culture’ and ‘mindset’ for channel success
• Become a social organisation
• Ensure your channels are managed and resourced properly
• Agree what policies and guidelines are needed
![Page 114: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
6. Tools and Applications
• A very wide range of Social Media/Social Business Management Tools are available
![Page 115: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
7. Monitor and Measure
• To ensure that your SM strategy delivers a return on investment, it is important to monitor and evaluate on-going performance benchmarked against agreed objectives, KPIs and targets
• Performance evaluation should be undertaken at three main levels…
![Page 116: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
Performance Measurement
Should be undertaken at four main levels:
1. Individual social media channels
2. Overall ‘buzz’
3. Internal Social
4. Business Impact
Using the 6Is approach
![Page 117: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/117.jpg)
Performance Measurement Tools
A range of tools are available at each level:
• Individual Channels – e.g. Facebook Insights; Klout; Kred
• Overall ‘Buzz’ e.g. Topsy Analytics; Viralheat, other paid SMM tools
• Business Impact e.g. Google (Social) Analytics; SCRM
![Page 118: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)
Organization, Resource and People Issues
• Organization, resource and people issues sit at the bottom of your SM/SB Balanced Scorecard NOT because they are the least important issues to address. In fact, the exact opposite is true. The success of your Social Media/Social Business Strategy is very much dependent upon appropriate decisions being made in the areas listed:
![Page 119: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/119.jpg)
Organization, Resource and People Issues
• Do we have the right organisational ‘culture’ and ‘mindset’ for Social Media/Social Business? ‘Be social before doing social!’ Is the right organisational and decision-making structure in place?
• Has agreement been reached on resource allocation?
• Who will be responsible for your social media/social business activities?
• Do you have agreed Social Media/Social Business Policies and Guidelines in place covering ‘Proper Use’, ‘Content Management’, ‘Customer Response Times/Quality’ and ‘Legal’ aspects?
![Page 120: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
Social Media Management Do’s and Dont’s
![Page 121: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
Do’s and Don’t’s
Don’t Be a Showoff– Your posts should add value to the ‘customer’ – it’s
not about ‘me,me,me’
Don’t Use Poor Grammar or Spelling– Don’t try to be too cool
Don’t Get Too Personal (business users)– Keep the conversations warm but professional; it’s
what business users expect and anything else comes off as creepy
![Page 122: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/122.jpg)
Do’s and Don’t’s
Don’t Automate– It’s OK to schedule posts for specific times but don’t
automate everything. Social media is about personal/brand engagement not blatant promotion e.g. don’t automatically DM new twitter followers with a sales message - it’s seen as spam.
Don’t Leave Air in the Conversation– Respond as quickly as possible – within hours not
days.Don’t Overpost
– Don’t flood your followers’ timelines
![Page 123: Strathclyde MBA: Social Media/Social Business Class Abu Dhabi and Malaysia, May 2013 (Slides 1)](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110115/54c0ddaf4a7959887c8b456c/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
Do’s and Don’t’s
Do Shout Out to Users Who Mention You– Thank those making favourable comments; be very
careful how you respond to any negative commentsDo Monitor Keywords and Sector Trends
– And respond when appropriateDo Make an Informative Profile
