Influencer, Advocate, Champion, or Ambassador – Does it Matter?

October 29, 2014 in Influencer Marketing, Non-Tech, Social Media

Influencer marketing is a hot topic right now among companies. There are so many theory’s around what algorithms we need to correlate social metrics into actual influence. Then once we find that magical formula, or at the very least a formula that gives a number we feel good about, what name do we call them? If we call them an advocate or an ambassador is it required that the content they are creating will always be positive?

Influencer Marketing – What’s In It For You?

October 24, 2014 in Non-Tech, Social Media

  *Disclaimer – This post will be heavily weighted toward the EMC Elect program which I help manage at EMC. Although this is my perspective on this program in particular, it would also be my opinion toward any other such program. Also EMC Elect nominations are open until December 31st. 🙂 Enjoy! photo: Since joining EMC in June, I have had numerous conversations with people on EMC’s influencer program EMCElect. Generally the conversations all start the same, “What are the EMC Elect and what do they get out of the […]

Don’t Tell a Story, Have a Conversation. The Art of Social Selling

October 7, 2014 in Non-Tech, Social Media

How do you become great at social selling? Don’t try to sell! Can it really be that simple? I am by no means an expert on this topic, so everything you are going to read from here out is purely my opinion and should be questioned 😆 .
