5. problem statements
• why so much attrition?
– what are they trying to fix?
• agencies and clients, not aligned in goals
– invest in your clients, think long-term
sustainable scale
• too many long meetings, no action steps
– put an ipad timer in plain view, be strict
6. mo’ problem statements
• slave to email, reactive vs. proactive
– google hangouts, chat, groupme, yammer, kill
recurring company emails, quality > quantity
• slave to process, creativity suffers
– be agile, bust down the door
• teams too segmented, challenges in
execution
– smaller teams, better chemistry
7. are we effective?
• effective > efficient
• quality > quantity
• is the juice worth the squeeze?
• what does success look like?
• identifying and communicating goals, with
road maps to get there
• measure your metrics
• test, iterate, improve (nothing is finished)
9. what clients really want
• new customers
• customers with a great first experience
• to keep those customers happy (new ones
cost more)
• happy customers to talk about their
experience to new customers
• to grow revenue
10. new people
• (make sure your product is ready)
• high volume channels
• low cost channels
• best performing channels
• seo, ppc, facebook, twitter, instagram,
pinterest, reddit, youtube, yelp, articles,
contests, biz dev, ads, commercials,
conferences, email, affiliate marketing,
billboards, etc.
• cost per new person
11. happy first experience
• define it, it can be anything
• a click, a buy, a form fill out
• how long they engaged with the
product/campaign/thing
• a/b tests, optimizely
• heat maps, crazy egg
• the basics, google, adobe, chart beat
12. keep them happy (coming back)
• keeping customers (or team members) is
less expensive than getting new ones
• not good, great customer service
• email cycles (+3 +7 +30 days)
• genuine human storytelling (blogs)
• zappos them
• spend money on customers > marketing
13. happy customers = evangelists
• if the product/experience rocks
• (and) if the customer service rocks
• (and) you stay competitive (pricing)
• (then) your happy customers should use
the interwebs to get new customers for
you
• (and) that rocks
14. revenue
• what products make the most?
• what products are in the long tail?
• how are the approaches different?
• which is the current focus?
• (because) the targets are different
15.
16. a few more tips
• 80/20 rule
• less is more – minimalism
• too many chefs, assign decision makers
• don’t use, “because instagram”
• putting out fires sucks, be proactive
• ideas can come from anyone
• don’t deliver static products
• complacency sucks
• we’re not curing cancer, have fun
17. getting started
• start a movement, it takes two
• don’t try to convince everyone at once
• find your crew, define goals, refine them
• be ready to be rejected
