Sample Talks (5)
Move The Needle
Conversation and engagement are great, but alone do not drive the bottom line. You will benefit from this talk by learning how to plan for social media success, seeing examples of companies selling and saving through social media and discovering a roadmap to plan and measure your own successes.
Prove it! Measuring Social Media’s Impact On Your Business
Creating content is only half the battle. Measuring what you’re doing and justifying the time and energy expended is the other half. Jason Falls will take you through ideas on how to approach content marketing with strategic use and measurement in mind, help you build a framework for content marketing measurement and help report and justify your efforts.
Let’s Talk: The Art of Conversation
Social media beckons companies to engage in conversations with their customers, yet marketing through conversations is an inexact, if even clear, concept. In this talk, you will learn how conversational marketing happens daily, that you understand it better than you think, but can also approach social media interactions with both the right intent and a profitable outcome in mind.
They’re Talking About You … Are You Listening?
The millions of water coolers from yesteryear are now one big water cooler called the Internet. Your customers are talking about you, your competition and your industry. You will benefit from this talk by learning how to listen to online conversations, what to do with the conversations you find and how to win the trust of customers and potential customers by simply turning an ear toward them online.
Cut The Bull: Blog With Purpose (And Drive Business)
Corporate blogs are great engagement tools, but even better (and more effective) business drivers. You will benefit from this talk by learning how blogs can boost your company’s bottom line, what tools can most effectively get you there fast and even get some ideas on how do to it using free (or mostly free) tools.
