I am sure you have heard some horror stories...Tell me about them

• Damage your brand• Loose your job• Never get hired• Ruin your life• How to get robbed• In the news

Damage your brand

Work related blunders

"Cisco just offered me a job! Now I have to weigh the utility of a fatty paycheck against the daily commute to San Jose and hating the work.”

Never get hired (again)!

Ruining your life

Getting robbed

• Demonstrate your product

• Ideabox

• Generate €/$

• Customer Service

• Crisis Communication

• E-Learning

Demonstrate your products

Lesson: Social media marketing doesn’t always need to cost a lot of money. Creating funny, original video and leveraging an already large user base can be used to increase sales.

Online Ideabox

Lesson: Thinking of ways to build your company are great, but directly asking your consumers what they want, is better. Acting on that information and doing it publicly is key to the success of this campaign.

Direct selling

Lesson: Social media isn’t all about ROI, but it is possible. Creating cross-platform strategies can lead to the most success, especially when your demographic is already Internet and technologically savvy.

The@DellOutlet Twitter account, which links users to refurbished products from Dell’s outlet, drew in a whopping $6.5 million in revenue last year by direct links on Twitter alone (and a little help from its 1.6 million followers).

Lesson: Being active on Twitter/Facebook is great but tracking and seeing who’s mentioning you, is the next step. Social media allows for the possibility of great customer service, and with it, better brand loyalty.

Customer Service

Crisis Communication

E-learning from peers

The YouTube-style, podcast application won World of Learning’s “e-Learning Solution of the Year” award in November 2008 for significantly improving workplace productivity and performance through an electronic learning and skills development platform. World of Learning is an exhibition sponsored by Learning magazine, a trade publication targeted at business training buyers that publishes advice, product information, news and opinions on the learning industry.

How do you get started without loosing your reputation?

Social Media in the business worldInternal vs external

What is an Enterprise Social Network

• Enterprise Social Networks are a communication tool for organizations

• You post messages and respond to your colleagues’ messages

• You see messages from the people, groups, and tags that you follow

• Enterprise Social Networks networks are private. A valid company email address is required to join. For example, members of the YourCorp network need an @yourcorp.com email address

Why an Enterprise Social Network

• Making the intranet ‘social’

• Better internal collaboration

• Breaking down silo’s

• Faster responses

• Less e-mail

• Motivating employees

• Convince Management to join

The reality is: it depends..

• Content is (still) king

• How many account do you manage

• How much reading & reacting are you doing?

• How much information are you sharing?

• Are you all the content?

• Are you using ambassadors?
