Sample Talks (5)

Engagement 2.0

Sales, marketing and customer service has changed incredibly over the past few years and engagement is king. It’s not “if” you’re customers are talking online, it’s “how often” and “where”. This session walks the audience through the landscape of online engagement both today and what’s coming tomorrow. The audience will have a much clearer picture of what tools will suit their needs and which ones to ignore.

Social Currency

Social media isn’t a fad or one or two sites, it’s the way your past, present and future customers interact. Are you there with them? It’s not enough to just show-up, you need to build your social currency within certain platforms online to capitalize in social media. This session walks the audience through industry specific examples of what’s gone wrong, whose doing it right, and most importantly, how they can start creating social currency right away.

Viral Marketing 2.0

Word of mouth is a wonderful thing, but if you’re behind the times on how the word is spread, you (and your company) will be left behind. This session talks about the new way things go viral as well as what makes them work so well. It goes above and beyond the old “forwarded email” and goes over capturing momentum within social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and social bookmarking like Digg and Reddit.

7 Deadly Social Sins

Being social is good for business, most of us know that. But what happens when it isn’t? Greed, lust, envy and the rest of the sins are alive and well in business and they seem to thrive when people try to engage online. This session will cover what not to do when engaging an audience, not only in social media but offline as well.

UnMarketing: ReThinking Engagement Online And Offline

The tried and true ways of marketing have turned into tired and old, not to mention ineffective. The ability to build relationships has never been greater. This session covers both online and offline methods of staying in front of your target audience, and how to engage with them effectively. From social media, to traditional local events, there are proven ways to connect more than ever before and after this session you have the practical tools to implement the tactics right away.
