"Blue Print” for change - personalizing your brand

"Blue Print” for change - personalizing your brand

Tony’s presentation was titled “Stop Advertising - Start Socializing” and focused on why companies need to change the way they communicate with customers. He explained that companies need to personalize their brands and to start socializing with customers. It was a passionate presentation that helped me validate many of my thoughts about why my company needs to change before the opportunity slips away.

Over the last 24 hours I have been trying to organize those thoughts into concrete solutions for our company. By taking some key points from the presentation and my insights in the use of Social Media tools, I’ve formulated a 10 step approach to refocusing your brands. You are the first to hear of this approach and understand that this hasn’t been tested nor validated. Its my attempt at trying to create a “blue print” for change.

Step 1 - Identify your target audience
Step 2 - Conduct a physiological needs assessment of your target audience
Step 3 - Conduct a “Mass Media” and “My Media (Social Media)” assessment
Step 4 - Determine which “Needs” link to which “Mass Media” and “My Media” (link step 2 & step 3)
Step 5 - Build “My Media” and “Mass Media” Strategies (Set your ROI)
Step 6 - Mobilize your Strategies
Step 7 - Monitor your Strategies (Listen & Evaluate)
Step 8 - Measure your ROI
Step 9 - Sunset or Sustain your Strategies
Step 10 - Stay ahead of the game…

Some of you are probably wondering what some of the steps mean and that more details are required, well I couldn’t agree with you more. My next few blogs will go into each step as I continue to formulate the details for each. I would be extremely interested in hearing some of your comments and insights to what I have suggested has a “blue print” for change.

Thanks again Tony for sharing! — Live your dreams through the eyes of the unknown…

Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website

(Visit Brian's Website) Improve your Communications strategies, learn from the experiences of Brian Beehler and how you, too, can leverage Social Media to improve employee, stakeholder, and customer communications as well as support your organization�s overall efforts to drive change and achieve results. I�m a communications professional with over 10 years of experience in the private and public sector. I�m currently developing a frame work for corporations to build strategies that involve Social Media. By determining the patterns of a social network, a corporation can build a plan that breaks down the barriers between employees, stakeholders, and consumers. My work within this area will help shape how we communicate within the corporate world. I will share my daily experiences from a social perspective and will determine if the line between personal and professional has become blurred. My blog will serve as an experiment to facilitate connections with people around the world and bring a collective agreement of how we should adopt social media within the workplace and our lives. Follow my blog and build relationships with other social media professionals. As a collective body connecting, collaborating, and cooperating we can �Make the Connections�.
