5. Find out for yourself

it to you?
• Spend time directly with
customers, partners and
market

6. 1) First, find your customers in the social web
• If your customers and key
influencers are not at least
somewhat active in the
social web, you can relax.
Don't superficially look around and leave.

7. One way to start
1. Go to LinkedIn.com. Create an account (free),
you’ll need email/user name (use your real name).
2. Search for 50 of your customers by company name
3. If less than 50% of companies are not present or
companies are very small, use the contacts you
have instead.
4. Under the company listing - see who you know.
5. Try other sites. Some you can only look up by
name.

8. 2) Get to know your clients
• What keeps your
customers busy.
• Learn what's on top of
their mind, hobby,
families, and more.
• Listen for mentions of you,
your product or service.
Are you getting ideas on being more helpful
and providing better service to them?

9. 3) Track the profiles of your clients
• Create a spreadsheet with
name/url
• Make notes when you
visit
• Keep track of the number
of visits.
• Instead of a spreadsheet
use a social address book
like xeesm.com to keep
track

10. 4) Visiting your clients

top customers daily.

11. 5) Ask questions
• Look for groups,
discussions, Q&A
• Use it for your own
skills development.

use social media, buy
things, build things,
service customers, etc.

12. Quick break
• Notice that it's all about your
customers and conversations.
• What we didn’t ask:
– We didn't ask you to blog or
Tweet, grow friends, fans or
followers.
– We haven't suggested you do
a video clip or run a
"campaign.
– We didn't talk about SEO, RSS
or any technical social media
chatter.
• Walk - before you run.

13. 6) What do you do now?
• You have found your
customers.
• Separate the conversations
into two major buckets:
– Problem
• Those who want a solution
• Those who are complaining or
attacking
– Excitement
• Those who are using and why
• Those already evangelizing
• This is the end to end
customer experience.

14. Start with a balance of three things
© Copyright 2010 xeesm.com/wendysoucie | www.socialminutes.com - All Rights Reserved 14
15. 7) Start with listening
• Solve problems.
• Let everybody know that
you listen.
• Explore a solution with your
customers.
• Measure Website traffic
and links with bit.ly to see
what others find valuable

16. 8) Amplify Excitement
• No excitement?
"Well, this product is pretty
good. It doesn't quite do what
the ad says but here is why I
decided to use it...”
• Amplify the conversation.
• Time to do more than just
listen

17. 9) Connecting
• Time to get serious
• Make a well educated decision.
– NO - based on all your
experience
– GO - based on
• you know more about your clients
than you did before
• you have a better picture of social
conversation
• At this stage you will probably
engage your team –
– 20 Minutes a day
– An experienced person can visit
50 clients/hr
