Why Brands Don’t
• Message not controlled – scary!
• Early Social Metrics – Fans, Followers, etc
– No Attributable ROI
• Mistakes can go Viral
WHITEBOXSOCIAL.COM | @WHITEBOXSOCIAL
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Why Should They?
• Harvard Business study shows one star Yelp increase can
increase revenues by 5 to 9 percent.
• Harris Interactive study reports 71% of consumers rely on
peer ratings and reviews to influence purchase decisions.
• More than 50% of Americans trust User Generated Content
(UGC) over corporate websites (16%) or news articles about a
company or product (14%) (Bazaar Voice).
• Nielson Global Survey reports online customer reviews are
the second most trusted form of advertising (70%) only
behind personal referrals from friends or family.
Answer: Your Business Future May Depend on It!

Matter? Likes? Followers? Sales?

One to One vs. One to Many
Voice Social Media
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Call Center vs. Social Center
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
A call to a traditional call center can
lead to an encounter with a highly
unmotivated person, subjected to
tough and discouraging guidelines,
without the freedom of action
Call Center vs Social Center
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Utilizing social networks brings you
into contact with much more
motivated people, able to break the
rules and are willing to go the extra
mile to satisfy the customer’s needs
Call Center vs Social Center
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
A traditional call center is relegated by
customers unable to express themselves
beyond complaining to a few friends and
family members, social networks have
developed the principle function of
preventing possible public relations
disasters (proactive)
Call Center vs Social Center
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
An unhappy customer who calls is simply
another customer, as opposed to a
customer who uses the social networks
to complain is potentially a problem that
can generate negative publicity, brand
damage, sales loss, and lose the
company future customers
Call Center vs Social Center
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Complaints can go viral
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Escalation process
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Real agents are the best defense
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Social Media agents are different:
Social agents provide a fast and
personalized customer experience,
are accessible anywhere, provide
resolution, and update customer
profiles
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Social agents are different
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Social is a new
engagement channel
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Social agents need to respond
in 140 characters
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Your customers are already
reaching out to you via social
media
http://stratuscontactsolutions.com
Things to think about
Can a company aspire to give all its customers the same level of
attention that Facebook or Twitter offer, compared to their call
center?
What happens when the person who is poorly attended on the
phone has a powerful presence on the social networks, and was
simply using the phone out of convenience?
When you look at the cost of a social media analytics solution, it is
mere change compared to the millions and millions you’ve already
spent on that call center.
