A8: #cxo: Most fundamental way to improve cross-sell & increase advocacy is make incredibly great products that people love & talk about
A8: #cxo: Increasing customer advocacy means incentivize influentials to make your mktg case--w/out compromising their integrity. Fine line
A8: #cxo: Best practices for increasing customer advocacy: one of which is social network analysis: find the influentials: incentivize them
A8: #cxo: Best practices for improve cross-selling focus on market basket/affinity analysis. The "would they like fries with that?" approach
RT @TheSocialPitt: I like @jameskobielus recent post on "tweets are fruitflies of consumer data science"http://bit.ly/185oxKe #cxo
A7: #cxo: My next #IBMDataMagarticle is on exactly this topic. Written, but not yet published. Darn: with I could tweet it now.
A7: #cxo When defining customer needs & offers, social media analytics should not be taken as only sentiment source--but it's valuable input
A7: #cxo: Keep in mind that many people don't share all of their deepest desires on social networks. It's often a skewed self-portrait.
A7: #cxo FYI, social network analysis (behavioral/influence graphs) not same as social media analytics (which usually involves dashboarding)
A7: #cxo Social network analysis--aka graph analysis--is useful when segmenting customers behaviorally, to differentiate engage strategies
A6: #cxo: Shift to customer insight analysis by conducting model-driven real-world experiments on customer response/satis across channels
A6: #cxo: Shift to analyzing customer insight by empowering all #CRM business analysts with tools like #IBMSPSS & Cognos Consumer Insight
A6: #cxo: Shift from customer insight data collection to synthesis by staffing up with data scientists & #CEMSMEs, & giving powerful tools
A5: #cxo Banks can retain customers better by analyzing signs o customer frustration w/online banking, via click analysis, complaints, etc.
A5: #cxo Retention is founded on looking for behavioral signs of satisfaction & dissatis. Clickthrus, tweets, etc can feed those models
A4: #cxo: Biz can predict the scenarios & circumstances where specific offers most likely 2 B accepted. That's usually sufficient confidence
A4: #cxo: Obviously, there's the established art of market basket analysis to guide the offer generation process around cross-selling.
A4: #cxo: Impulse buying &window shopping are customer journeys that drive plenty of offer acceptances the customer didn't "know" in advance
A4: #cxo: The customer themselves don't always "know" what offer they might accept at the present time. Make them an offer to mull over.
A4 #cxo: Can't "know" right time to generate relevant offers--but can predict it. Customer journey mapping key to that. So is B2C convo
A3 #cxo: Can ensure offer relevancy if customer/agent conversations provide intelligence to feed back into 360-deg view & acceptance models
A3: #cxo Can ensure offer relevancy by allowing agents to guide "next best offer" conversations attuned to probing for customer needs
A3: #cxo Can ensure offer relevancy by tracking prior offers they DIDN'T accept--and not RE-OFFERING unless something important has changed
A3: #cxo Can ensure offer relevancy if have current 360-degree customer view historical data & valid propensity models re acceptance factors
A2 #cxo: Orgs should listen for "threshold"-relevant customer tweets/etc that might indicate, e.g, an existing customer angry over something
A2 #cxo: Businesses should listen to groups and individuals in order to segment, target, & serve. Don't "monitor." Listen & engage.
A1 #cxo: Brand loyalty comes when your company knows the customer's needs as well as they do...but doesn't get cocky or complacent abot it.
A1 #cxo:Brand loyalty is the customer knowing you provide reliable value but don't take them for granted. Delighting them with innovations
A1 #cxo: The key factors leading to brand loyalty are superior customer service, excellent products, & deep listening to customers' needs.
