Setting expectations
For both internal and external influencer outreach, we hold three steps to ‘awesomeness’1. Identify the influencers2. Learn their language3. Get to work
I’ll share the theory and the practice I have applied at Kelley Blue Book.
Because we are a private company, exact values may be blurred.While we do discuss competitive segments, I will not be commenting on our competitors.

• Your boss
• Their boss
• The ‘dude’
– He or she who thinks they should be your boss
• The ‘hater’
– He or she whose budget was redirected to you
– He or she who (insert political reason to hate you here)
