. Thank you Jocelyn. Today I’m going to share with you some of the results of our real-world research and experiences with Brand Advocates: the world’s most powerful consumers.
This Groundswell of consumer influence poses huge threats and opportunities for enterprises. Negative WOM - Amplified Angry customers are bashing Norton & Putnam Lexus on sites like Amazon, C-Net, and Yelp.. This is hurting their sales and their hard-earned reputations. These companies don’t know how many sales they’re losing by this negative WOM. And yet, both Norton and Putnam Lexus have thousands of highly-satisfied customers. Norton has twice as many Promoters as Detractors and 70% of their customers have referred others. Putnam Lexus also has thousands of loyal customers. I’m one of them. Where is the voice of these Advocates? Positive WOM On the other hand, there are companies that have mostly positive WOM. They also have thousands of passionate Fans. The reality is this: the companies mentioned here – and thousands of others – are missing a huge opportunity to fully leverage their Fans to amplify positive WOM and boost sales. What’s missing? Until now, there hasn’t been a systematic solution that makes it easy to: Identify “Brand Advocates” Mobilize and monetize them Track results in real-time.
Identify your advocates by asking brief online surveys that feature the “Ultimate Question” for customer loyalty: “On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?” Customers who answer 9 or 10 are considered advocates and can be invited to join an your advocate community.
. Thanks Charles. And thanks Jeremiah and Diane for those great insights. WOM is proven to be the world’s most powerful form of communications. My topic today is how you can turn WOM into sales now.
