fundamental way to improve cross-sell & increase advocacy is make
incredibly great products that people love & talk about
A8:
#cxo: Increasing
customer advocacy means incentivize influentials to make your mktg case--w/out
compromising their integrity. Fine line
A8:
#cxo: Best
practices for increasing customer advocacy: one of which is social network
analysis: find the influentials: incentivize them

A7:
#cxo: My next #IBMDataMag
article is on exactly this topic. Written, but not yet published. Darn: with I
could tweet it now.
A7:
#cxo When
defining customer needs & offers, social media analytics should not be
taken as only sentiment source--but it's valuable input
A7:
#cxo: Keep in
mind that many people don't share all of their deepest desires on social
networks. It's often a skewed self-portrait.
A7:
#cxo FYI, social
network analysis (behavioral/influence graphs) not same as social media
analytics (which usually involves dashboarding)
A7:
#cxo Social
network analysis--aka graph analysis--is useful when segmenting customers
behaviorally, to differentiate engage strategies
A6:
#cxo: Shift to
customer insight analysis by conducting model-driven real-world experiments on
customer response/satis across channels
A6:
#cxo: Shift to
analyzing customer insight by empowering all #CRM business
analysts with tools like #IBM
SPSS & Cognos Consumer Insight
A6:
#cxo: Shift from
customer insight data collection to synthesis by staffing up with data
scientists & #CEM
SMEs, & giving powerful tools
A5:
#cxo Banks can
retain customers better by analyzing signs o customer frustration w/online
banking, via click analysis, complaints, etc.
A5:
#cxo Retention
is founded on looking for behavioral signs of satisfaction & dissatis.
Clickthrus, tweets, etc can feed those models
A4:
#cxo: Biz can
predict the scenarios & circumstances where specific offers most likely 2 B
accepted. That's usually sufficient confidence
A4:
#cxo: Obviously,
there's the established art of market basket analysis to guide the offer
generation process around cross-selling.
A4:
#cxo: Impulse
buying &window shopping are customer journeys that drive plenty of offer
acceptances the customer didn't "know" in advance
A4:
#cxo: The
customer themselves don't always "know" what offer they might accept
at the present time. Make them an offer to mull over.
A4
#cxo: Can't
"know" right time to generate relevant offers--but can predict it.
Customer journey mapping key to that. So is B2C convo
A3
#cxo: Can ensure
offer relevancy if customer/agent conversations provide intelligence to feed
back into 360-deg view & acceptance models
A3:
#cxo Can ensure
offer relevancy by allowing agents to guide "next best offer"
conversations attuned to probing for customer needs
A3:
#cxo Can ensure
offer relevancy by tracking prior offers they DIDN'T accept--and not
RE-OFFERING unless something important has changed
A3:
#cxo Can ensure
offer relevancy if have current 360-degree customer view historical data &
valid propensity models re acceptance factors
A2
#cxo: Orgs should
listen for "threshold"-relevant customer tweets/etc that might
indicate, e.g, an existing customer angry over something
A2
#cxo: Businesses
should listen to groups and individuals in order to segment, target, &
serve. Don't "monitor." Listen & engage.
A1
#cxo: Brand
loyalty comes when your company knows the customer's needs as well as they
do...but doesn't get cocky or complacent abot it.
A1
#cxo:Brand
loyalty is the customer knowing you provide reliable value but don't take them
for granted. Delighting them with innovations
A1
#cxo: The key
factors leading to brand loyalty are superior customer service, excellent
products, & deep listening to customers' needs.
