3rd Social Media for Customer Management Summit

Meet your Speakers

Dear customer management professional,

CustomerManagementIQ is thrilled to welcome you to the 3rd Social Media for Customer Management Summit!

The debate over “to do or not to do” is slowing down, but the debate about how to best make sense of a social strategy is as intense as ever.  Social’s evolution from the “marketing tool of the future” to a customer management necessity has, quite simply, produced a whirlwind of reactions, and the 3rd Social Media for Customer Management Summit navigates the debate to uncover the right way to achieve and measure success.

Whether you're a social media advocate or social media hater, you can't afford to ignore this free event!

Let's face it -- since the 2nd Social Media for Customer Management Summit, some organizations have experienced unprecedented success from their social initiatives through the generation of quality leads, the capturing of invaluable customer insights and the management of viral sentiment.  Others, however, continue to see success elude them--they have no financial or customer satisfaction benefit to show for their millions of Facebook fans and countless hours of Tweeting.

What, they ask, is the point of social CRM?

 With people, often justifiably, questioning the correct "end goal" of social media,  this event will be instrumental in answering that question from a customer-centric standpoint.  Instead of focusing on what is “cool” to social advocates or simply on what is most aligned with a common, revenue conception of ROI, we will look at how the needs of customers are overlapping with social, and how that alignment can help produce the desired results.  How will we get our agents ready to deal with customers in that environment?  How will we align every facet of the business with the demands of a social environment?  And how will we measure it all? 

Today's most successful enterprises recognize the customer experience as a top priority for the entire organization, and social CRM plays an integral role in driving that experience for the multi-channel customer.  As such, do not stand idly by as your competitors reap the rewards of social media!  The ROI might be different than what was expected or promised, but there indeed exists an opportunity to drive a substantial, positive impact on the business and customer experience.

The 3rd Social Media for Customer Management Summit, through exclusive case study presentations and insights from battle-tested customer management leaders, positions you to identify, achieve and benchmark that return!  SPACES ARE SEVERELY LIMITED -- REGISTER NOW TO SECURE YOUR SPOT IN THIS FREE EVENT!

We look forward to seeing you online,

This comprehensive online summit will help you seize valuable CRM opportunities in social media by revamping all facets of your customer management effort and significantly improving your ability to engage the target audience. Presentations topics, to be delivered by battle-tested industry experts and thought leaders, include: defining what ROI really means in the context of social media, achieving and measuring short- and long-term success through social CRM, establishing social media as a core business strategy, determining what revenue and customer management goals cannot be achieved via social media, readying your call center to capitalize on multi-channel communication, acquiring and acting on customer insights communicated via social and integrating social support into all the relevant business functions.

In the comfort of your home or office! No traveling expenses or timing conflicts. This online event takes place by using your computer or laptop!
 

March 13 - Based on customer feedback, we have decided to jampack our series of invaluable content, never-before-heard case studies and actionalbe insights into a single day, greatly minimizing the time commitment and greatly limiting the "time to live" for turning the conference insights into business results!

Is March 13 a conflict?  Do not worry -- all sessions are recorded and made available for registered users within 2 business days. 

The early returns from social media have not been what everyone expected, and as a result, there has been some "doubt" about whether it needs to be viewed as a high-priority customer experience focus going forward.  This is a mistake - there is a real return to be gained from social, and if you do not understand how to identify and achieve it, your competitors will win your customers faster than you can say "Tweet."

Oh, and did we mention it is FREE!?

Register for FREE now!  Then, on March 13, you will receive access to the live summit console, which enables you to view the slides, hear the presentation and ask questions directly to the speaker(s).  And, if you register, you will also receive instructions on how to view the sessions on demand following the live run.

Agenda

Available Now	The Great Social ROI Challenge - Expertly Measuring Social Customer Care
	In 2012, virtually no one—from the C-level down to the entry level customer service rep—is denying the importance of social media as a customer care platform.  But when it comes to the channel’s ability to generate “ROI” while truly transforming the customer experience, the debate is just beginning!  The value and objective of a social strategy will naturally differ from organization to organization, but at this point, a consistent truth is emerging: the channel needs to demonstrate some sort of positive impact on business in order to justify continued investment.  Through the following topics, this session explores how to understand and measure that impact. Making customer experience “social”:  C-level executives are now prioritizing the experience as a key business objective in and of itself; what proven role can—and will—social play in achieving that objective? Speaking to executives:  And even though C-level executives understand the importance of the customer experience, how has their mindset towards success changed?  How do you win their “buy-in?” ROI vs. ROO:  Some feel “ROI,” typically thought of in financial terms, is the wrong approach for social.  But some return on objective must be shown, and if revenue is not the goal, what is?  What proven strategies exist for measuring this more-appropriate value objective? Don't say goodbye:  Social media might seem like a new animal, but some of your contact center metrics are still relevant.  Can your existing performance measurement account for social? What social is not:  Social media is undoubtedly promising, but it is not quite a silver bullet for customer management—what benefits should professionals concede as unattainable when building strategy? Panelists: Kim Keating, Founder and CEO, Kenna Inc Walter Van Norden, Director, TELUS International Jim Rainville, Principal Sales Engineer, Oracle
Available Now	Case Study: Canadian Blood Services Improves Customer/Donor Experience in the Social Era
	In a recent survey of executives across the globe, over 80% of respondents named “customer experience” among their top strategic priorities in the coming year.  Yet, few know what it takes to achieve a great customer experience and gain a sustainable competitive edge.  In this webinar, you will learn how Canadian Blood Services, a not-for-profit, charitable organization who manages the blood and blood products supply for Canadians, leverages multiple channels to provide a 360 degree view of its customers/donors and improve their overall customer/donor experience.   Canadian Blood is increasing customer loyalty through its customer/donor outreach and experience efforts and ensuring its loyal customers/donors return when they need them to help replenish the Canadian blood supply.       Panelists: Annette Blackwell, Manager, IT Projects, Canadian Blood Services Jeff Elumba, Director, SAP CRM Center of Excellence
Available Now	Multi-Channel Excellence: How Will Social Media Transform Your Contact Center?
	Multi-channel is not a buzz word—it is a necessity for satisfying customers in an ever-interactive world.  As a result, minor “changes” like introducing a Twitter account and basic social media monitoring are no longer sufficient.  Instead, organizations must rethink the entire customer experience, redefining how their customer support agents interact with customers and how the success or failure of those interactions is benchmarked.  This session reveals how to efficiently weave the channel into the contact center so that excellence is both attainable and measurable.  Topics include: Arming the reps:  From introducing a new customer experience culture, to creating new scripts and guidelines, to installing new communications platforms, ready your reps to excel on social. Out with the old: The performance measurements that made sense in the call center may not make sense in a socially-driven, multi-channel environment.  Learn what benchmarks matter for today’s customer service. Guiding the call: Though you do have to play on the customers’ terms, you know that different channels are better for different issues.  Learn how to analyze direct inquiries to the most efficient contact channel. Identifying today’s rep:  Re-training your existing reps is a must for a multi-faceted customer service function, but for future hiring, why not screen for the rep best suited for multi-channel and social success? Panelists: Duke Chung, Co-Founder, Parature Salwa Azar, Community Development Manager, We R Interactive
