Social is a well established phenomenon in the B2C world, but B2B has been slower to embrace it. The reality is, however, that social is already here when it comes to B2B. And B2B companies can no longer afford to keep it at arm's length because their customers are much more social, which is creating a whole new set of expectations. From "DIY prospecting" - where customers conduct lots of important research before ever entering the sales cycle - to consulting their peers throughout the purchase journey, B2B customers is different, and B2B companies need to move quickly to adapt.
Check out this great presentation my colleague Lareina Yee recently gave at the Sales 2.0 conference. In particular, check out the five ways that social is shaping B2B customers.
RECAP: Social really is here when it comes to the enterprise. Many see the role of social in consumer-focused businesses but have not absorbed what it means for the enterprise. Social is having a direct impact in 5 areas: 1. DIY prospecting: Customers conduct research on products and services well ahead of the official start to the sales cycle 2. Peer influence: Customers “pulse” their peers at every step of the journey 3. Trial before purchase: User testing requires grassroot support. It’s no longer a single decision instance rather smaller purchase bundles 4. Buyer & user are the same: The phenomenon changes decision and influence points in enterprise purchasing 5. Click to compare: Pricing transparency is foundational; consumer expectations are shaping enterprise behavior Via Digital SMBs
People aren’t stupid. That’s an ideal phrase to build a social media engagement strategy on.

I'm in Miami this week taking part in the Holmes Report's Global PR Summit and the topic of "Brand Journalism."
I know nothing about the subject but no one else does either because it's a made up term that is in the early stages of being defined. Nothing wrong in that, I do it all the time but I try to think of concepts that make sense and this one doesn't make any sense at all....
[Tom Forenski says "brand journalism" is NOT journalism. Is he right? ~ Jeff] Brands and companies are changing rapidly. Here are some important ways companies and brands are changing: * Brands and companies are becoming curators. * Brands and companies are becoming entertainers (Meetups, Videos, etc..). While "Brand Journalism" may seem dissonant to what brands were and are becoming, brand curator or brand champion is a much needed missing set of marketing skills. PR skills such as building relationships with thought leaders, organizing disparate information into engaging communication, promoting engagement and connecting companies and brands to their supporters wrap around this idea quickly and well.

Robin Good: If you are wondering why engagement on your Facebook page is so hard to come, with few questions and comments sparking up your page, here is a number of good questions to ask yourself, before buying into Promoting your posts which is what Facebook is trying to get you to do. “How do I get my Facebook fans to participate more on our page?” Motivating fans to like, comment on, and share your posts not only strengthens your bond with existing fans but also helps get you in front of a new and bigger audience: their friends. If no one’s talking to you on Facebook, it’s hard to know if your social media marketing efforts are going anywhere — and it’s definitely not much fun. The key reasons for our failure on this front is generally a lack of creativity and perseverance on our end to utilize the right ingredients that spark engagement for our readers. A few little changes can make all of the difference in the world.

I see Google revoking data access by removing access to their AdWords API, and I see (not provided) climbing ever higher in every vertical in which Distilled has clients. I don’t see Google as being friendly to SEOs – Google is monetizing everything, and the only way they can monetize organic listings (even though that is what they built themselves on) is through ads, so they’ll increasingly be more aggressive with ads while also moving into other areas.

One of the things I really like about the field of SEO is how so many professionals are willing to help others in their free time. They volunteer to help non-profits, write blog posts for free (ahem!), and attend public SEO meet-ups. Solid article I will have more extensive thoughts on tomorrow. The Holy Grail of content is GREAT CONTENT so anything that helps you get there faster and before competitors is a good thing.
