Things have changed: • The traditional sales cycle no longer exists • Advice is actively sought from peers and it happens much earlier on mostly via social media • Resources are readily available to assist research • Buyers have done the majority of their research – including talking to your customers – before they even approach you • Gen-X’ers and Millennials are rapidly becoming very influential in the business world • Advocacy is no longer a backroom function #advocacyadv
What “advocacy” shouldn’t just be: • A client success program purely designed for net-new or upsell/cross-sell initiatives • A bug-fix/self-help program or community • A case study program • And most importantly….It should never be an ASK! Sales client success programCase study programSupport self-help program Cost Center #advocacyadv
Why advocacy? Engaged customers are more loyal, trust you more, buy more… and share their success with others more Voice of the Customer Sales Marketing Executive programsSupport Services Value Center #advocacyadv
The spectrum of advocates’ engagement • We need to appeal to multiple types of buyers with multiple buying styles • Understand the client journey and how to seed it with customer evidence • Programs need to be holistic – coordinated across all activities • Webinars • CABs • Success stories • User groups • Calls with prospects • Social media • Blogs • Multi-media stories • Vlogs • Lunches/dinners • PR placements • Speaking engagements • Awards nominations • Communities • Advocacy hubs • Conferences • User groups • Newsletters • Beta testing • Analyst discussions • Symposiums • Calls for presentations • Regional meetings • Best practice sharing • Networking • Logo use • Sound-bite quotes • Referrals • Journalist conversations • And so on………… #advocacyadv
How to measure impact? Client Lifetime Value – CLTV – a true measurement of business health CLTV = [( Revenue * Gross Margin ) / Churn] – Acquisition Costs But there is an easier way…..
Client Lifetime Revenue CLTR = Revenue per Month x Relationship Length (in months) For example: If a customer signs an annual contract for $12,000 this is equivalent to $1k per month If they stay a client for 2 years: CLTR = 1,000 x 24 = $24,000 This doesn’t include variables such as margin, acquisition costs or churn… …..but it is a solid proxy for gauging the health of your business…. ….and is significantly easier to calculate!! #advocacyadv
CLTR….so what? We can now calculate the impact of being an advocate on our business: Real life data: Non-Program Members Advocacy Program Members Average Revenue per Month ($s) $6,242 Average Relationship Length (months) 13.9 CLTR $86,949 #advocacyadv
CLTR….so what? We can now calculate the impact of being an advocate on our business: Real life data: Non-Program Members Advocacy Program Members Average Revenue per Month ($s) $6,242 $20,625 Average Relationship Length (months) 13.9 16.7 CLTR $86,949 $345,045 This is an illustration of using CLTR; but also it’s a stunning example of the power of advocacy and the impact of having a closer relationship with your clients!! Over the duration of their relationship, clients actively engaged by the advocacy program generate 4x as much revenue as those that aren’t engaged! #advocacyadv
