Executive Social Marketing Bootcamp, David Alston of Radian6 Nails Some Issues

In social media generally, as well as my experience around the web for Dell, one of the great benefits/values of the conversations across the web is simply in "listening"....learning from that and the engagement arising from those conversations.

Check out this SlideShare Presentation by Radian6's David Alston. Its a great list of the kinds of conversations that are important to business and allow you opportunities to learn and get even better at what you do. Those top 10 are:

1. The complaint
2. The compliment...people love to be heard on both one and two
3. The problem or glitch or issue
4. A question about you, your products, services or company
5. Looking at how a "campaign" is being received by your customers or others
6. The Crisis...or maybe the early warning system to a crisis
7. Your competitors
8. What the crowd or 9. influencers think of you? Essentially, "YOUR" reputation...because ultimately people give you a reputation, its not really "yours."
10. Identify points of need in what your customers are saying and experiencing so you can be even better

Hope you enjoy it
