How social media is the logical next step in loyalty. Or: How loyalty is about acts, not ads. Or: A plea for commons sense. Or: How social media isn’t about social media.

Hello. I am Polle de Maagt.
I failed in most things during my
life (including being a rock star) but am
still trying to reach world domination.
This time by helping companies
change. Change to a company that is
about consumers and driving
conversations.
Guess that makes me a change agent.
Guess that makes Nike, KLM and
Telenet my clients of change.
Managing expectations ... I only have 30 minutes. That is not enough time to change the world, but it might be enough to change some of your minds. If you have any questions or ideas, just send me a message at @polledemaagt or [email protected].
These are crazy times. Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, etc. Social media this and that. The world is changing bladibla. I won’t insult you with showing fancy social media figures and trends. You know the deal.

LinkedIn’s extremely smart personalization. LinkedIn is extremely
smart in creating
personal, relevant
messages that are
extremely worth sharing.
But that’s not what it’s about. It’s not about Facebook. It’s not about technology. It is really really simple.
With employees/consumers talking, it’s about company culture. Employees are your ambassadors. All the advertising in the world can’t buy you great employees and a remarkable company culture.
With employees/consumers talking, it’s about stuff worth sharing. Ambassadors just want to tell other, so help them! Choqoa support fans by giving them chocolate bars and highlighting them in their newsletter.
We’re beyond acquisition and retention, we’re about advocacy. At the end of your visit, the owner Eduardo, will ask if everything during your stay was ok. And if you would do him a favor and write a review on
We’re going from a consumer life cycle to a conversation life cycle. Who are your best customers? The one that pay the most or the ones that talk the most?
Acting human. Zappos does an amazing job in making
technology invisible and really
understanding consumers.
(Thanks Steven Verbruggen for the tip!)
KLM Surprise An experiment on how happiness spreads. KLM tried to really exceed expectations in going the extra mile for their customers. To drive loyalty and advocacy.
Driving loyalty is about exceeding expectations, but watch out for over-the-top-delivery. Delivering too much eventually has a negative effect as well.
Expectation
Over-delivery Makes positive conversations
Over-the-top-delivery Makes negative conversations
Under-delivery Makes negative conversations
Delivery Gives no reason to talk
It is not about technology. It is about committing acts, not ads. About company culture. About creating stuff worth sharing. About advocacy. About the conversation life cycle.
