What is social media?
The Conversation Prism
Your (social) fans - Generation Y• Don’t read newspapers
• No landline phone
• Television on their terms
• Trust peers
• Internet experience is social
• Content is going mobile
• Television is for video games
• Want to be heard and self-express
• Email is for parents/work
• On demand content
How we got here
• Web 1.0 Company consumer
• Web 1.5 Company consumer
• Web 2.0 Consumer consumer
• Now: Companies/clubs joining the conversation• If people don’t engage, it’s not social media
And what is CRM?
• A business process or system
• For managing interactions
• With customers & potential customers
• Often automated / driven by technology
• Usually sales driven
• Usually “broadcast” – from company to prospect/client
• In other words, the antithesis of “social”

What we’re not going to cover
• Truly social organisations – I want to be more practical today!
But do please read Christopher Carfi’s Social Customer Manifesto
• I want to have a say.
• I don't want to do business with idiots.
• I want to know when something is wrong, and what you're going to do to fix it.
• I want to help shape things that I'll find useful.
• I want to connect with others who are working on similar problems.
• I don't want to be called by another salesperson. Ever. (Unless they have something useful. Then I want it yesterday.)
• I want to buy things on my schedule, not yours. I don't care if it's the end of your quarter.
• I want to know your selling process.
• I want to tell you when you're screwing up. Conversely, I'm happy to tell you the things that you are doing well. I may even tell you what your competitors are doing.
• I want to do business with companies that act in a transparent and ethical manner.
• I want to know what's next. We're in partnership…where should we go?

Your content plan template
• Tweet content ideas about the type of events and activities you have coming up in the next month
• You know by now ... #sportCRM
And my stab at your content
• Tournaments
• Cups
• Think age ranges – youth to seniors
• Race meetings
• Ladies day
• Magic weekend
• Wimbledon – tickets?
• Community work
• Transfer speculation
• VIP visits
• Sportivate & summer coaching sessions ...
First (next?) steps for CRM
• How can your social media content plan enhance your planned marketing/CRM-based activity?– Bums on seats– Friend get friend– Kit sales
• Use competitions to:– Acquire social contacts– Acquire CRM contacts– LINK social and CRM contacts
Simple analytics
• New contacts – CRM system
• New contacts – social networks
• Linked contacts – exist in CRM, but you know their social network user name
Assumptions
• You already “do” social media – well
• You know your communications & business objectives for both social media & CRM
• Your web site is well designed for the “social basics”– Subscribe functionality in place– Share functionality in place– Semantic mark up in place (or planned)
• Essentially, you’re ready to step up a gear
Semantic mark up
The visitor sees
• The London Cup
• Richmond Hockey Club
• July 12th – 16th
Facebook & Google see
• The London Cup This is an event that you can attend
• Richmond Hockey Club I see the coordinates, I can show them on
a map
• July 12th – 16th I see that’s a date, I can show this event in a
listing

CRM
1 simplistic model
My (your?) end goal
• Link these elements– Web site behaviour (pre-
registration)– Web site behaviour
(post-registration)– Social media
demographic information– Social media behaviour– Response to offers /
marcomms channels– Customer/fan purchase
behaviour / lifetime value
• Then act accordingly– You map user journeys– For
demographic/segments– Engage with each
segment on its terms– & take each individual on
his/her “correct” journey to achieve your objectives
Recap
• Have clear objectives
• Make your digital properties “ready”
• Find a way to link CRM contacts with their social presence– Always, with their permission
• Next conversations– CRM vendor capabilities & roadmap– Analytics vendor capabilities & roadmap– CMS vendor capabilities & roadmap
Another recap
Find a way to link people in your CRM system to
their social media personas – with their
permission
