What I really do....


                  beep!




                    and I suspect you do too...

                                      AccMan
My mission...today




                If you’re in that camp - sorry !!

                                           AccMan
Your mission...every day

How did I become an “influencer?”
‣   Network like crazy with people who are smarter than me

‣   Contribute to blog comments, active on SCN

‣   Stay focused on the real world, not the hype

‣   Stake out positions with fact based argument

‣   Develop an individual, non-repeatable style

‣   Add a touch of ‘humor’

‣   Rinse, repeat

‣   Be relentless...and eventually people notice




                                                             AccMan
How did I become an “influencer?”




    Made a conscious decision to give away 80% of what I know.
             The other 20% pays the bills plus change


                                                         AccMan
Flip that on its head




                        ...that’s your job
                                         AccMan
What do I want as an “influencer?”

‣   A relationship not a transaction

‣   Engagement with people who are smarter than me

‣   Relevance to my interests (which change)

‣   Stories, stories, stories

‣   Customers, customers, customers




                                                     AccMan
What I don’t want as an “influencer”

‣   To be patronised

‣   Poor research

‣   Carpet bombed with your crap

‣   Attention seekers

‣   ‘Cycling back’

‣   Waste my time




                                   AccMan
10 hints and tips
‣   Do the research - critical 1st step

‣   Find the 20 people most closely aligned to your interests

‣   Don’t be afraid to engage - we’re not monsters (mostly)

‣   Find multiple points of influence - no one person has the lock on a
    deal

‣   Learn which media people use and engage in THOSE media - email
    is teh sux

‣   Be prepared to be challenged - influencers do that all the time

‣   Ask questions - no-one knows it all, especially you

‣   Don’t be afraid of getting it wrong - we all do

‣   If one thing doesn’t work, try another (fail often)

‣   Treat it like daily exercise - tough but worthwhile




                                                                          AccMan
