Notas do Editor
- how many people have a personal myspace/facebook or twitter profileHow many have been active on any or all for more than 3 months?Active meaning once a day or multiple times a month How many of you are terrified of using these channels for your professional communications?Be honest
- How many of you have attended a networking cocktail party?And of those, how many of you have found a great lead or contact that has helped your business through one of those events?Now, when you got to work on Monday, what did you plug into your spreadsheet, how did you report on the ROI of that event?Additionally, did you spend weeks, maybe months creating a solid plan of attack for that event?Who you are going to talk to, what you were going to say---what did your “Networking Gin & Tonic” flow chart look like?
- Social Media is a cocktail party onlineYou may have heard it before and I am here to tell you that it is true.The good news is; if you have mastered the art of mingling and chatting and smiling at a party-you’ll do well on social mediaThe Bad news is; if you’re the guy or gal in the back of the room clinging to the wallpaper and your white wine, you may need to loosen up a tad before diving in.
- Before we talk strategy, tactics & tools…let me tell you about myself and my relationship with Social MediaI have always been, at my core a relationship person. As a little girl I would entertain folks at restaurants and dinner parties and always wanted to help in serving them. The two fields I have operated in from the age of 16 were media by way of radio (on air and promotions) and restaurants Additionally I have always been an activist and volunteer for a large variety of organizations.In 2002 when I was opening a restaurant in Atlanta-I discovered Friendster. As I had lived in 3 states throughout my early twenties this was initially an amazing way to keep in touch with all of those people I had met along the way.In 2004 a new site was launched that allowed a ton of customization and fun applicationsThat site was called MySpaceI quickly realized this site was much more than a way to communicate with friends but was an awesome solution to having little or no budget for a website.Thus I began using MySpace to build websites for my restaurants, my personal art, my friends bands and my churches.Fast forward to Operation Smile
- Operation Smile is an International Children’s Medical charity founded here in Hampton Roads in 1982 Teams of Medical Volunteers from around the world travel to developing countries and provide FREE reconstructive surgery to children born with cleft lip and cleft palateI came on board in early 2007 to help build a donor relations programWhen I arrived at Operation Smile the extent of their donor service was a tri-fold brochure sent to the potential supporter. Additionally the caller would not have been entered into our database system and therefore no follow up would have been madeOur thank you letters were lengthy and impersonal“Donor First Philosophy”We created all new letters and materials to enable our donors and supporters to better serve Operation Smile through fundraising and eventsWe built a Donor Relations call center with a focus on out-bound thank you calls as well as the original functions of inbound account servicesWe re-created how we used the database adding action notes for each call and using rich reporting for quality control and follow-upTo give you some perspective; in 2006 there were 13,716 actions recorded in our database and in 2008 there were 54, 786 actionsEach of these actions represents an interaction our team of 4 phone agents had with a donorSo in almost 2 years of very hard work and focus on our core constituents, we were able to understand how to best serve and honor our donors and supporters.

- While solid numbers on Twitter activity are not readily available the power of twitter is evident in instances such as The government asked Twitter to hold of on scheduled maintenance during the recent protests in Iran as the only way people were able to communicate was through Twitter Lance Armstrong recently brought a town in Switzerland to a stand still with his Tweet “”Hey Glasgow, Scotland!! I’m coming your way tomorrow. Who wants to go for a bike ride??” where 100’s of people showed up to the small town center ALL major and most local news outlets communicate through Twitter, offer exclusive news through Twitter and field news stories from viewers through the micro-blogging site
