Web properties today

- stagnant content
- no interaction
- about company, not customer




                           © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
Blogs and social media - opportunity
to:




- refresh content
- provide information (commerce)
- create interaction




                               © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com

     - give your business a face
     - bring the conversation inside



                             © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com

- facilitator (community builder)
- negotiator (marketer)

                               © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
There is a need to balance intellect
with emotion - to educate (left
brain) and illuminate (right brain)




                                © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
Characteristics of a good
corporate blogger:

                            © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
People don’t have to like you to
buy your products/services.




                                   © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
They do need to respect you
to talk with you - to have a
conversation.

How can you be humanly authentic?



- company knows itself
- internal/external alignment.
- culture as platform for passion
- honesty as basis for truth

from one interaction




many times
                         © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
to many interactions one time




                           © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
Each interaction has potential to be:




                           - direct
                           - relevant
                           - memorable




                                © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
Remember that your most
vocal customers are the ones
who care enough to tell you
how you’re doing.




                               © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
examples




           © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
Before getting started:




- add listening to your “to do’s”
- do a sanity check on content
- align behind the effort internally




                                © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
What is the worst that could
happen?

Figure out how you would respond.

hire great people and get
out of their way
(permission to represent
company)


                            © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
learn to celebrate the right things
(launch is just the beginning)




                              © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
read that press release as a
reporter would (content first)

join a conversation already happening
to contribute (participate)




                              © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
think humans first, technology second
                              © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
be prepared to address questions,
in some cases fast (this is crucial in
online time)




                                  © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
give customers ways to receive the
information how they want it
(RSS, widgets = pull)

breathing reasons why)

Your customers now have the
ability to organize




         and some will have
         the desire to talk
         about your brand.

                          © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com

Not so good



     - getting defensive
     - being untruthful
     - not taking responsibility
     - spamming




                              © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com

This is uncharted territory.

Navigate it with people who are
in your same predicament -
working for a company.

Is is about content?
Is it about interaction?
Is it about commerce?




                           © 2008 Valeria Maltoni, ConversationAgent.com
Regardless of what you think,
it’s about how blogging and
social media - executed well -
create a personal connection.
