Becoming a Social Business
ITSMA December 4, 2012

Richard Margetic, Dell Director, Global Social Media
Our Journey to Becoming a Social Business
Dell saw Social Media as an opportunity to build and further
nurture customer relationships through listening to, and
engaging with, customers in meaningful ways.
• Realization: Social was impacting many parts of the business
• Challenge: Establish a framework that could scale across the
  business
• Solution: Define a platform-agnostic strategy, a governance
  model to manage, a communication system to educate /
  inform, an insights program to measure impact and a culture
  that embraces it

                        business in general involved traditional
                        use of mass media.

Social Outreach Team Formed March 2006
Team begins by just listening and monitoring earned social.

was halved in the first two months

Today
On average, the team addresses
3,000 posts a week in 11 languages
  – 98% resolution rate
  – 45% ranters to ravers

Notas do Editor

  1. Dell has embedded social media across all businesses and functions, using it to build and nurture customer relationships through listening to, and engaging with customers in meaningful ways. Dell is committed to developing innovative programs that bring our passion for social connectivity and transparency to life, including the Social Media Listening Command Center, IdeaStorm, and a complete training and certification program empowering thousands of employees globally. These efforts contribute to product improvement, positive brand sentiment and an unmatched connection to our customers. Instead of targeting customers, Dell hears what they are saying and invites them to share their ideas.
  2. Dell’s use of social media really goes to the roots of who we are as a company: the power and value of direct connections with customers, as well as using the Web as a tool to be a better business. Our teams have been exchanging information with customers online since the late 1980s with listservs, and by 1996 we had our own Dell Community forums at Dell.com (other examples include: early leadership of e-commerce, the Web infrastructure to drive our supply chain, Premier Pages, etc)Today, we see social media as tool to be used across the fabric/functions of our businesses to build better business and be more connected with customers (i.e. the social web is not just about marketing or a customer support channel, rather it is a tool to be used to collaborate, connect and constantly do more with customers, from quality, to innovation, to building better business processes, to connecting and sharing real time, as well as solving technical or customer care issues) Highlights to pick out:Started with technical support (Customer service delivery)Just over 5 years ago became an early adopter using social media to connect with customers and build a better business.  In March 2006 we established the Online Community Outreach team, a group of tech support experts that reached out to bloggers around the world who had questions or required assistance. Later that year we expanded blog outreach beyond tech support to include any conversations about Dell.  2006 was also the year we launched our blog, Direct2Dell.Moved into communications – using as a channel to tell our story – Direct to DellDeveloped into crowd sourced product and service development with IdeaStormGone multi-lingual – multi-platforms – from our own .com/blog out to those customers select for themselves – no good just listening to the conversations in English, in your own front room - got to get out into the street to hear what customers really thinkInternal and external – agent for collaboration and innovation within the organisation e.g. Employee Storm; ChatterDirect sales (or facilitation) channel – lot made of our sales on platforms like twitter with @delloutlet but also important to realise that buying behaviours for products and services are also now heavily influenced by the social web – the opinions of trusted friends often first port of call (social web friends; bloggers)…so bringing those views into the buying process is impactful – so dell.com brings reviews/ratings front and centre with customersPower of advocates/ambassadors not to be underestimated – your team members are powerful voices for your brand/products and services… SMaC training and open access to all the tools they need at work to both LISTEN and ENGAGENote: Google+Dell team members from around the around the world are early adopters and users of social media, most recently on Google+ and Pinterest.
  3. In fact, as I think back in history to the general store or the early department stores or the mom and pop shops in our neighborhoods, the smart business person was a true marketerThat business person knew his customers by name, had a connections with themIndeed therein lies the early beginning of successful business – not the advertisement of brand names but the intimate customer connectionsIn some cases, the general store was actually the community center. People shopped, chatted, shared news, played a game of cards…..So, as we talk today about social media, I think this context is important….
  4. Social media’s rapid growth and measurable impact led to the realization that ad hoc solutions couldn’t scaleWild West: Saloons and churchesPlatforms change, people don’tBlogs, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Renren, Tumblr, Pinterest, InstagramScaling needs:Consistent metricsEducationCommunicationGovernance
  5. “Man is by nature a social animal.” Aristotle The motives to engage, relate, share, be accepted are at the base of all social activity. In this sense, the digital world is no different than the physical. Our lives depend on other humans. Infants are born unable to care for themselves. Survival depends on another human's efforts. We develop and learn about the world around us through the filter of other people. Our connections to others are key to not only our survival, but also to our happiness and the success of our careers.
  6. People think there’s a fundamental paradigm shift with the advent of social. There is a paradigm shift, but not at the fundamental level, which is constant.
  7. Lesson 3 and I have touched on this…but over 5 years we have found the conversations touch every part of Dell’s business……well, I'm not sure accounting has many customer conversations about them To realize business value from the customer, it is important that web interactions and conversations are heard by those who are most impacted, the relevant Dell team members and various parts of the business.
  8. "Today, 66% of online Americans are actively using social networking, but only 16% of companies use social media to engage with customers.“You cannot have credibility saying you are customer-centric if you ignore your customers in social media channels.“ Charlene Li
  9. According to ReadWrite Enterprise, “IdeaStorm is one of the touchstones of the enterprise social media age.” Launched in 2007, Dell’s IdeaStorm is a community site where anyone can submit ideas about improving Dell’s products/services, and allows the community to vote for their favorite submissions. Recently reinvigorated, the redesign supports more robust ideation, more prominent member presence and better social sharing. Dell has 28 IdeaStorm Partner employees, representing every aspect of our product line, who promote two-way dialogue between Dell and the community, IdeaStorm is also used to for customer feedback when Dell is in the process of designing/developing new products. In this situation, Dell puts its own ideas on IdeaStorm, hosting a “Storm Session.” Taking place in real-time, participants join a session to provide feedback on issues/proposed products.
  10. Recognizing the focus on resolution, where and when a customer needed it, Dell brought together a unified team of professionals covering both technical support and customer care on the Web for both business to business and consumer customers. Traditionally separate business units, the social media outreach services (SOS) team merged customer care and technical support into one effort. The team established its own “outbound” approaches, listening and hearing a customer in need and proactively reaching out to solve the issue, rather than waiting for the customer to call. Unlike the traditional phone queues, identity of the customer is not always clear, which means the team must operate without always having the benefit of the traditional “case management” information in the Dell systems. Another unique factor impacting this operation is given Dell’s privacy and protection of customer data policies, the Web, unlike a phone call, is public. Therefore the SOS team works in a non-traditional manner to solve issues without the usual confirmation of names, addresses and service tags.
  11. Lesson 5 relates to giving employees the tools to do their job…that means training.At Dell, We have put in place a robust social media and community curriculum that covers everything from our policies about transparency and protecting company and customer information to how to best use tools like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and blogging
  12. Not everyone necessarily needs to be active on the Web. However, as the social Web emerges as a key marketing tool, every marketing leader needs to understand how to think about challenges, opportunities, costs, and how the social Web may or may not be a part of a marketing campaign or program. The Dell Social Media Playbook is a 105 page internal guide for planning and executing social strategy for the world’s largest social platforms including social networks, microblogs, video blogs, professional nets, as well as photo sharing, presentation, and publishing sites. Dell CMO, Karen Quintos introduces the guide saying, “Success in marketing means recognizing that experts in the social universe have the power to become some of our most authoritative advocates. Exceling as a social business means embracing these relationships and incorporating the feedback we get across the entire fabric of Dell so that we can continue to delights our customers with every touch point.” The innovative guide teaches marketers to build, engage, promote and track successful social media campaigns on behalf of the company. It also talks about tracking listening data before a market launch and how to factor this into messaging development.
  13. Our social media engagement improves Dell’s reach and share of market voice, establishes causality between social media activity and engagement, and contributes greatly to demand generation and higher customer revenue. Most importantly, our social media efforts improve customer loyalty through the solid relationships we build and nurture.
