Convincing the Boss to Launch a WOM Campaign

Convincing the boss or client to plan and implement a word of mouth strategy sometimes takes extra persuasion. Gary Spangler, eBusiness Manager for DuPont, shared his own tips for making the business case for WOM:

* Define your WOM target(s) -- Defining the target to reach the right audience and measure the results.

* Develop a black ops "quick start" campaign -- Start with something small and measurable.

* Sell WOM Internally -- Declare yourself the expert, pilot ideas online first, and create a steering committee.

* Enlist experts -- Look to an expert for advice and experience, but be sure to tailor any proposals for your company.
