Chapter 2: The new social norms

Page 20: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

Facebook introduced newcommunication modes that are both

more casual and more emotional

• Facebook and Twitter are radically new modes of communication

• Similar to when we went from in-person to phone, and phone to email

• But unlike email revolution, also more emotional (because of photos and profile)

Chapter 3: Social Capital

Page 21: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

The new Facebook communicationmodes foster weak ties

• Cost of staying in touch goes down - foster more weaker ties

• Research shows most social capital maximized with weak ties.

• Usually we are not doing deals with our parents and close friends but rather friend-of-friend networks

• Capture long tail of relationships - People we meet can become “relationship options”

• We have the option but not the obligation to exercise down the road.

• Can accumulate social capital over time.

Chapter 3: How relationships and social capital are changing

User expectations have changed

People trust friends the most

Page 23: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

Social Commerce is quickly becoming the way your customers are sharing their ideas

Page 24: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

• Spam filers block email advertising • NO CALL lists prohibit telephone solicitation • If they get through . . . Caller ID allows us not to answer

a telephone solicitor• DVR allow us to skip television advertising• 96% of consumers trust personal recommendations• 14% of consumers trust traditional advertising

The customer wants to be in control!

Social sales

Chapter 4: Sales in the Facebook era

“Social technologies are the most important CRM trend in 2009”

Trends 2009 ReportJanuary 2009

Page 30: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

Social sales• Lead generation• Navigating complex

organisations (connecting to individuals at the buyer who has influence)

• Establishing initial and on-going rapport

• Social-graph customer references

• Facebook is CRM

Page 31: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

B2B versus B2C sales in the Facebook Era

• In general, relationships and trust play a bigger role in purchase decisions of higher priced items that are more difficult to value price and require greater expertise to understand.

• Relationship building and hypertargeting individuals on social networking sites is even more important in B2B because corporations don’t make decisions. People do.

Chapter 4: Sales in the Facebook era

Page 32: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

As a result of social networks, user expectations have changed

• Wealth of data available from social network profiles

• Expected due diligence by sales and marketing

• Personalised interactions

Page 33: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

Social network maps allow mutualfriend discovery and facilitate

transitive trust• Sales reps and others can

tap into “transitive trust” – if Customer B knows and trusts Sales Rep C, and Prospect A knows and trusts Customer B, then A is more likely to be open to a conversation with C.

• Trust is transitive, to a degree.

• Prior to the Facebook Era, A and C wouldn’t have known that B was a mutual contact.

Sales Rep C can use social network maps to connect the dots and tap into transitive trust to get her foot in the door with A

Page 34: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

The loyalty magnification effect

“Passive” word of mouth - instead of having to actively tell friends about your product, Facebook News Feed broadcasts on their behalf status messages and someone becoming a fan of your product. WOM is automated.

Sales and marketing in the Facebook era: Preparing for a new kind of customer

relationship

Chapter 6: Marketing in the Facebook era

Page 42: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

Precision marketing with hypertargeted ads

Traditional method: “Fifty percent of my advertising is wasted, I just don’t know which fifty percent”

Facebook Era method: Hypertarget ads based on profile information

• Only target the specific audience segments who are most likely to buy – e.g., golf apparel company targets individuals with “golf” in their list of hobbies on their Facebook profile

• Test new segments and messaging

Page 43: The Facebook Era - WRFY at USB-ED

Hypertargeting helps cost-effectively capture “latent demand”

• Minimize wasted ads on people who would never buy

• Cost-effectively capture latent interest (search marketing leaves latent demand on the table)
