Polle de Maagt for SAPience.be User Day.
Hi. I am Polle de Maagt.
I change companies to be less about ads and
more acts. I work from Gent, Amsterdam and
London doing inspiration (pretty much like this
session), coaching and strategy.
Some of my clients



KLM.                                           Nike.                                     Penguin Books.
How to get ROI from our customer service       How can we change from ads towards        How can we capitalize on our authors and
and social media efforts?                      acts?                                     content?

local (Asia, Netherlands).                     Towards new ways of interacting with
                                               partners, customers and clients.
Before we start: this is not a presentation about social media.
I will not insult you by showing you some graphs on Facebook growth, minutes spent in YouTube and how cool Twitter is.
What I WILL show you is how doing business changed.

How technology changed.

And how you can embrace technology to change your business.
What happened the last
ten years?
Please. Take a moment.
What were you doing in the year 2001?
This was my phone in the year 2001.
Please don’t laugh at me. The first iPhone wasn’t released until 2007.
    Remember what happened to Nokia’s market share after that?
?

Google had a market share of <5% in BE and NL.
     And guess what’s the main influencer for buying decisions nowadays.
It took another three years before Facebook launched.
   And now they have over 700 million users. And a banking license. Just like Google.
                  And it pretty much replaced the birthday card industry.
No way my mom could have sent this message in 2001.
About a month ago, my mom sent me a Facebook message to say she has more friends than I have.
€1500
worth of technology
This just happened.
And it changed the world.
In 2001, the record industry had a
turnover of 15 billion dollars.
Now? Less than half of that.
Apple alone is now making more than 15 billion dollars on their
Apple iTunes music store.
Let’s detechnologize technology for SAPience.be User Day
Who would predict
banks going bankrupt?
Let alone countries?
Lower entry barriers: BankSimple is a bank with 12 employees.
What is more difficult than starting a bank? A team of 12 started BankSimple, probably the most client-centric
bank ever.
Lower entry barriers: Square is a new payment system.
Could you imagine starting a new virtual payment system?
PayPal’s net Total Payment Volume, the total value of transactions in Q2 2011 was already $28.7 billion, up 34
percent year over year.
My phone provider is radically
transparent.
Mobile Vikings offers great customer service, a complete
overview of my costs and even an API (that’s geektalk to
say that you can use your data in other programs).

How is that different from your telco?
To summarize it all ...
From                              To
Technology geekery                Technology commodity
Data scarcity                     Data overload
Entry barriers were really high   Entry barriers are taken away
Ads                               Acts
Radically closed                  Radically transparent
Our three main
challenges.
What will be the main things we will have to tackle in the
coming years?
GROWING CUSTOMER EXPECTATION OF THE SEAMLESS PROVISION OF
SERVICES IS CREATING EVEN GREATER PRESSURE ON AN INDUSTRY WHICH
             IS GENERALLY PERCEIVED IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT.
1) Thanks to KLM everyone has a problem.
It’s pretty basic: do more than people expect to stimulate word of mouth. However, be careful not to over-
exceed expectations, that actually creates negative conversations.
And it sets a new normal ...
KLM proves it
recognizes the person
behind every customer.
It’s pretty easy to say you are consumer-
centric.
Or even put it in an ad.
But actually acting on that, that’s a pretty
different thing.

So, this is what KLM did.
An experiment
how happiness
spreads.
How will little stories of
personalized surprises travel the
world? We set out to find out with
KLM Surprise.
Towards new normals:
24/7/365 customer
support.
KLM does 24/7/365 customer support via
twitter and Facebook. Consumers get
rapidly used to that.
Death to hotel wifi fees?
    Paying for internet access?!
The Business Model behind Spotify.com
                                  an adbased freemium model
                                  A small percentage does already pay for a premium service. The 2011 US
                                  launch must be the most anticipated music service launch ever.

2) ‘Virtual’ forces you to manage expectations even more.
                Spotify let’s you subscribe to “virtual” goods.
3) The more technology you
adopt, the more you have to
untechnologize this.
Zappos does an amazing job in making technology invisible
and really understanding consumers.
Helping individuals didn’t make sense.
You might be surprised that 11% of all organizations doesn’t answer customer emails. Even more when you
know that exceeding customer expectations builds loyalty (81% repeats, 63% recommends) and falling below
customer expectations erodes loyalty (5%/71%).
?

4) The more business models change, the more to manage.
            Freemium and other developments set different expectations.
5) The more contact points, the more to manage.
            Employees, new touchpoints? What’s next?
AS GLOBALISATION CONTINUES APACE, BUSINESSES ARE DEMANDING
 PROVIDERS WHO CAN SEAMLESSLY MANAGE THEIR REQUIREMENTS
  ACROSS GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES, WHILST DEMONSTRATING
       FLEXIBILITY AND KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL MARKETS.
1) You need to change policies and
rules. I will tell you a secret: I’m an
illegal immigrant.
I still have to prove the Belgian government that I can speak
Dutch. That I know Belgians prefer Jupiler over Heineken. And
that I can earn a living.

                2) You need to start thinking local.
                                       Lucrative local rooms.
3) Smart targeting: Maybe the best targeted campaign ever.
Il Giglio d’Oro, a pretty simple bed & breakfast in Firenze turned every customer into an advocate by asking them to
leave a review on Tripadvisor. It helped them to become the #1 bed & breakfast in Italy and #8 bed & breakfast in
Europe.
4) You can’t think in country borders.
       Check your phone bill. Or bank. Or iTunes.
WITH THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC DOWNTURN RUMBLING ON, THE INNOVATION
   OF NEW PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO INCREASE EFFICIENCIES AND
   REDUCE COSTS IS CITED AS FUNDAMENTALLY IMPORTANT BY CEOS.
1) Go to market together with
your customers and clients.
Telenet launched their new Yelo product in beta and asked
their consumers to make it better.

Quirky makes money from idea generation.
              Lucrative co-creation.
The Business Model behind Kickstarter.com
                     a marketplace for fund seekers
                     Kickstarter takes 5% of the funding as a commission.

              27/04/10




Kickstarter goes even further.
    Lucrative co-creation and co-funding.
The Business Model behind PatientsLikeMe.com
                                          a community platform for patients
                                          With permission, PatientsLikeMe gathers data that can be resold for huge sums
                                          to third parties likes pharmaceutical companies. Simple. Marvelous.




                                                                                                                   27/04/10
                                       by BoardofInnovation.com                           pitch your business model visually via this free template

                                    27/04/10




2) Invest in data, knowledge and algorithms, like Patientslikeme.
                 The ever growing business of gathering and selling data.
3) Smart metrics: 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.
4) Learning from social media: 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.
Facebook forces gradual
engagement.
A lot of campaigns are designed to collect Facebook likes. To be
able to tap into the consumer news feed, however, a consumer
had to have a recent interaction with a brand.
Twitter forces gradual engagement.
The average tweet lives 90 minutes. Especially with international-oriented accounts, you should develop a 24-hour
content strategy.
Campaigns vs programs in engagement.
Campaigns have high reach and big impact, but are limited in time.
Programs are continuous efforts to gradually engage consumers.
Please. Let technology
work for you. If not, it
will work against you.
How?
Create momentum in your organization.
Key in integrating social media is to build a ripple effect of small successful projects. It gives people in the
organization time to adapt and learn. It give you time to build business cases and build support.
Define goals with intrinsic, learning and change management KPIs.
Define really really clear KPI’s.
                  We willen een reeks van succesverhalen.

*Intrinsic - Learning - Change Management KPI’s. Polle de Maagt for InSites Consulting.
Act yourself.
                                          48
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.
I hope I was worth talking about.
Hi. My name is Polle de Maagt and I am an independent
digital / social media consultant based in Ghent, Belgium.

  • 1. Let’s detechnologize technology. Use the unused potential of your company. Polle de Maagt for SAPience.be User Day.
  • 2. Hi. I am Polle de Maagt. I change companies to be less about ads and more acts. I work from Gent, Amsterdam and London doing inspiration (pretty much like this session), coaching and strategy.
  • 3. Some of my clients KLM. Nike. Penguin Books. How to get ROI from our customer service How can we change from ads towards How can we capitalize on our authors and and social media efforts? acts? content? Business strategy and roadmap for global and How can we do less talking and do more? Business strategy and roadmap for Europe. local (Asia, Netherlands). Towards new ways of interacting with partners, customers and clients.
  • 4. Before we start: this is not a presentation about social media. I will not insult you by showing you some graphs on Facebook growth, minutes spent in YouTube and how cool Twitter is. What I WILL show you is how doing business changed. How technology changed. And how you can embrace technology to change your business.
  • 5. What happened the last ten years? Please. Take a moment. What were you doing in the year 2001?
  • 6. This was my phone in the year 2001. Please don’t laugh at me. The first iPhone wasn’t released until 2007. Remember what happened to Nokia’s market share after that?
  • 7. ? Google had a market share of <5% in BE and NL. And guess what’s the main influencer for buying decisions nowadays.
  • 8. It took another three years before Facebook launched. And now they have over 700 million users. And a banking license. Just like Google. And it pretty much replaced the birthday card industry.
  • 9. No way my mom could have sent this message in 2001. About a month ago, my mom sent me a Facebook message to say she has more friends than I have.
  • 11. This just happened. And it changed the world.
  • 12. In 2001, the record industry had a turnover of 15 billion dollars. Now? Less than half of that. Apple alone is now making more than 15 billion dollars on their Apple iTunes music store.
  • 14. Who would predict banks going bankrupt?
  • 16. Lower entry barriers: BankSimple is a bank with 12 employees. What is more difficult than starting a bank? A team of 12 started BankSimple, probably the most client-centric bank ever.
  • 17. Lower entry barriers: Square is a new payment system. Could you imagine starting a new virtual payment system? PayPal’s net Total Payment Volume, the total value of transactions in Q2 2011 was already $28.7 billion, up 34 percent year over year.
  • 18. My phone provider is radically transparent. Mobile Vikings offers great customer service, a complete overview of my costs and even an API (that’s geektalk to say that you can use your data in other programs). How is that different from your telco?
  • 19. To summarize it all ... From To Technology geekery Technology commodity Data scarcity Data overload Entry barriers were really high Entry barriers are taken away Ads Acts Radically closed Radically transparent
  • 20. Our three main challenges. What will be the main things we will have to tackle in the coming years?
  • 21. GROWING CUSTOMER EXPECTATION OF THE SEAMLESS PROVISION OF SERVICES IS CREATING EVEN GREATER PRESSURE ON AN INDUSTRY WHICH IS GENERALLY PERCEIVED IN A NEGATIVE LIGHT.
  • 22. 1) Thanks to KLM everyone has a problem. It’s pretty basic: do more than people expect to stimulate word of mouth. However, be careful not to over- exceed expectations, that actually creates negative conversations. And it sets a new normal ...
  • 23. KLM proves it recognizes the person behind every customer. It’s pretty easy to say you are consumer- centric. Or even put it in an ad. But actually acting on that, that’s a pretty different thing. So, this is what KLM did.
  • 24. An experiment how happiness spreads. How will little stories of personalized surprises travel the world? We set out to find out with KLM Surprise.
  • 25. Towards new normals: 24/7/365 customer support. KLM does 24/7/365 customer support via twitter and Facebook. Consumers get rapidly used to that.
  • 26. Death to hotel wifi fees? Paying for internet access?!
  • 27. The Business Model behind Spotify.com an adbased freemium model A small percentage does already pay for a premium service.

Spotify let’s you subscribe to “virtual” goods.
  • 28. 3) The more technology you adopt, the more you have to untechnologize this. Zappos does an amazing job in making technology invisible and really understanding consumers.
  • 29. Helping individuals didn’t make sense. You might be surprised that 11% of all organizations doesn’t answer customer emails. Even more when you know that exceeding customer expectations builds loyalty (81% repeats, 63% recommends) and falling below customer expectations erodes loyalty (5%/71%).
  • 30. ? 4) The more business models change, the more to manage. Freemium and other developments set different expectations.
  • 31. 5) The more contact points, the more to manage. Employees, new touchpoints? What’s next?
  • 32. AS GLOBALISATION CONTINUES APACE, BUSINESSES ARE DEMANDING PROVIDERS WHO CAN SEAMLESSLY MANAGE THEIR REQUIREMENTS ACROSS GEOGRAPHICAL BOUNDARIES, WHILST DEMONSTRATING FLEXIBILITY AND KNOWLEDGE OF LOCAL MARKETS.
  • 33. 1) You need to change policies and rules. I will tell you a secret: I’m an illegal immigrant. I still have to prove the Belgian government that I can speak Dutch. That I know Belgians prefer Jupiler over Heineken. And that I can earn a living.
  • 34. 2 The Business Model behind AirBnb.com Clickworker.com a one-sided matchmaking platform Example case: “Just like Amazon Mechanical Turk, Depending on the rental price AirBnb takes a commission up to 12%. people world wide are performing micro-tasks gaining Other platforms use posting fees when people just swap goods or services. micro-payments. ” +300.000 people paid already with a tweet* 27/04/10 by BoardofInnovation.com pitch your business model visually via this free template 27/04/10 2) You need to start thinking local. Lucrative local rooms.
  • 35. 3) Smart targeting: Maybe the best targeted campaign ever. Il Giglio d’Oro, a pretty simple bed & breakfast in Firenze turned every customer into an advocate by asking them to leave a review on Tripadvisor. It helped them to become the #1 bed & breakfast in Italy and #8 bed & breakfast in Europe.
  • 36. 4) You can’t think in country borders. Check your phone bill. Or bank. Or iTunes.

  • 42. 3) Smart metrics: 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.
  • 43. 4) Learning from social media: 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.
  • 44. Facebook forces gradual engagement. A lot of campaigns are designed to collect Facebook likes. To be able to tap into the consumer news feed, however, a consumer had to have a recent interaction with a brand.
  • 45. Twitter forces gradual engagement. The average tweet lives 90 minutes. Especially with international-oriented accounts, you should develop a 24-hour content strategy.
  • 46. Campaigns vs programs in engagement. Campaigns have high reach and big impact, but are limited in time. Programs are continuous efforts to gradually engage consumers.
  • 47. Please. Let technology work for you. If not, it will work against you. How?
  • 48. Create momentum in your organization. Key in integrating social media is to build a ripple effect of small successful projects. It gives people in the organization time to adapt and learn. It give you time to build business cases and build support. Define goals with intrinsic, learning and change management KPIs.
