Two things to consider…
  1. Consider the                       2. Consider the level of
  SENTIMENT of a                        CONSTRUCTIVENESS
  person’s conversation                 around a person’s
                                        BEHAVIOUR



•  Is it POSITIVE or NEGATIVE?        •  Is the conversation
                                         CONSTRUCTIVE or
•  Does this person seem to like
                                         UNCONSTRUCTIVE?
   or dislike your brand or
   organisation?                      •  Does this conversation invite
                                         input, is it helpful, is it relevant
                                         or interesting? Or is it none of
                                         these things?

  •  Use SENTIMENT                                BEHAVIOUR
     and BEHAVIOUR to
     locate conversations
     on this grid

  •  Let the categories
     guide your
     management and
     prioritisation of each
                                      SENTIMENT
     conversation

  •  Decide how to deal
     with CHATTER,
     ADVOCACY,
     AGGRESSION AND
     CRITICISM

Chatter

          Hi guys! Did you see the                      CHATTER
