I sooooo love Blackberry ...... but recently switched to iPhone

Yep. I know I look like 18.But I’m actually 29. Most old people
tell me I will be happy with them when I’m 50. I doubt that.

Other categories conditioned people to expect more. Expectation levels are getting higher and higher, while it was never easy to manage expectation and exceed them to be worth sharing.
Ever growing expectations.

A small experiment in happiness.“Do something with Foursquare”, that was the briefing for a pretty remarkable experiment. Over the course of
6 weeks, we surprised KLM passengers based on their social media profiles. To see how happiness spreads. And it did.
Something to proveKLM wanted to prove they recognize the
person behind every passenger.
Results?Over 1.000.000 impressions
on twitter alone. And a Cannes Lions Award for PR.
More?I will talk you through
that later :)
FoursquareEvery time a passenger told KLM
via twitter or Foursquare that he/she was at Schiphol airport,
we tried to surprise him/her in a most personal way.

Let’s be honest: turning negatives into neutrals is way more rewarding than some hipster campaign.
Do what makes a difference.
LOW CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
HIGH CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
FEATURE NOT IMPLEMENTED FEATURE FULLY IMPLEMENTED
LineairCustomers desire it, but don’t expect it to
be fully in place. Satisfaction increase when in place, decreases when not.
E.g. High interest rates.
Attractive attributesCustomers don’t expect them to be in
place, but are delighted if they are. Satisfaction increase when in place.
E.g. Refunding a service fee before the customer asks.
Must-have attributesCustomers assume that they are in place, if not, they will be unhappy. Satisfaction
decreases when not in place.E.g. Checks get processed.

communicate clearly
Go to market with your customers.Telenet launched Yelo, an innovative product that let consumers watch TV live on any device. One problem:
the product wasn’t finished. The solution? Involve the consumers via facebook, twitter and a closed community to make the product even better.
A beta productA product that could be improved on
every level: from service, to interface and from content to functions.
Results?Over 15.000 ideas.
A neutralized discussion.
Involved customersCustomers were involved via twitter, facebook, blog and a closed research community.

Blurb’s nifty use of the Net Promoter Score.Online publishing platform Blurb goes the distance in stimulating people to talk about them. They measure how likely it is that you will recommend the product to friends. Even more, they use this information to tailor offerings.
Polle de Maagt @polledemaagt
Act on advocacy.There are those who are dissatisfied. Those who are pretty ok with our service. And those who love us.
But who is who and how many of each have we? Enter the Net Promoter Score (NPS), a brand benchmark. The NPS score is correlated with overall brand performance. It also makes it easy to act on this data. To help
the promoters to promote and neutralize the negatives.
Support the promoters with tools and communication
materials to convince their friends to join us.
Contact all detractors and passives to see how we can help.
Pick detractors and passives at random and let the CEO and/or CFO personally commit to solving their
problem.

Zappos does an amazing job in making technology invisible and really understanding consumers. Whenever you answer ‘thank you’ to a standard support mail, they will send you a personal message back, instead of an autoreply.

Zappos’ 365 day return policy serves a double purpose: it’s yet another (communication) proof of their dedication to customer service and it’s a great way to increase the sales per client. The basic idea: Zappos hacks the default option,
consumers are more likely to do nothing if they have the choice.
Business and satisfaction from returns.
Low threshold to order
“Well, if I don’t like it, I can always return it”.
- but -
High threshold to return
Yes, you can return, but it’s always easier to choose the default option, not doing anything and just
keeping the product. Results?In general, the return
policy makes consumers order and
buy 150% more.
Polle de Maagt @polledemaagt
Emotional commitmentThe majority of
consumers feels a responsibility towards
the company to not return the products on
the 364th day.

People don’t change overnight. Nor do companies. Use a set of tools.
Instruments of change.
Unused potential of your employees.
What people already support our cause? Who can help us spread the word? Build best practices?
Excite others?
Workshops, training and coaching.
Knowledge, training and structural coaching.
Guidelines & Best Practices.
People need both negative and positive stimuli. Guidelines to set the boundaries, best practices to
get inspired and excited.
Smart projects.
Small, manageable project with clearly defined scopes and goals that help the organization learn,
change and set next steps.
Scanning the organization for key opinion leaders, evangelists and
advocates.
Tailored inspiration, strategy, workshop and knowledge
sessions with different departments.
Clear boundaries with social media guidelines and procedures.
Defining clear roads ahead by sharing best practices.
Deciding on priorities based on feasibility versus impact.
Defining clear KPI’s in terms of intrinsic goals, learning goals and
change management goals.
Advocacy programs, Open Coffee / Bar Camp with thought leaders, etc.
Weekly tactical meeting, inspiration workshops, content brainstorms,
internal conferences, etc.
Social media guidelines, branchemarking initiatives, etc.
Spearhead employees to test new tools, A/B testing channels, etc.

To change a company, define manageable projects with clear KPIs. Intrinsic, learning and change management KPIs. This, to challenge yourself to make the projects impactful in learning and change management, but also
to be able to make a project successful on several axes.
Project KPIs.Polle de Maagt @polledemaagt
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
INTRINSIC
LEARNING
Intrinsic KPIsYour ‘normal’ set of KPIs that are easy to measure. E.g. grow 50% in
number of followers.
Change management KPIsHow will this project help change the
organization E.g. convince manager X that LinkedIn is as converting as twitter,
gather a spearhead group of 50 internal enthousiasts.
Learning KPIsWhat can we learn from these
projects? E.g. learn which content works best to convert people to fans
or followers.
Warning: this part is a bit theoretical.
A lot of campaigns are designed to collect Facebook likes. To be able to tap into the consumer news feed, however, a consumer has to have a recent interaction with a brand.
Facebook forces gradual engagement.
The average tweet lives 90 minutes. Especially with international-oriented accounts, you should develop a 24-hour content strategy.
Twitter forces gradual engagement.
Consumers have both monetary and conversation value. Instead of bombarding them with messages, only targeting them in campaign season or approaching them as cash cows, engage them.
The concept of gradual engagement.
DriftingConsumers aren’t engaging in any
way. E.g. consumer is just browsing around online, doesn’t visit our
stores.
StumblingConsumer stumbled upon online
brand content or comes into contact with us offline. E.g. consumers reads
an article shared by a friend.
FollowingConsumer commits to the brand by
liking, subscribing, following or ‘fan’-ing the brand or leaving contact details. E.g. consumer becomes a
facebook fan.
EndorsingConsumer tells others. Consumer likes a piece of content, collects it,
curates it, retweets it, shares it and/or evaluates a brand. E.g. consumer
ranks a hotel on Tripadvisor.
ContributingConsumer collaborates with a brand
on adhoc or long term basis. E.g. consumer joins Telenet cocreation
community.

Campaigns have high reach and big impact, but are limited in time. Programs are continuous efforts to gradually engage consumers.

Every little act is a step closer to leveraging unused potential. Every act is a little less ads. Do something in the next 48 hours that actually makes your company or your clients more customer connected.
