21. Engagement: Getting YourCompany Ready Find the Right People Get everybody together in the same room. Invite the skeptics as well as the evangelists. Involve the practitioners and the rulemakers. Create a Social Media Council.
22. Engagement: Getting YourCompany Ready Put Someone in Charge Where does social media “live” inside your organization? Do you need to hire people or change existing responsibilities? Have someone who can put his or her hand up and say, “Come to me with your questions” or “No, you can’t do that.”
23. Engagement: Getting YourCompany Ready Create guidelines Make them realistic to your organization. Be clear and concise. Include dos as well as don’ts. Give real-world examples of how to engage. socialmediagovernance.com
24. Engagement: Getting YourCompany Ready Communicate, communicate, communicate. As often as possible, in every channel you have. Spotlight successes. Lead by example.
25. Engagement: The Basics Be real. Speak with a human voice. Engage with your community person-to-person. Admit when you’ve made mistakes.

27. Engagement: The Basics Be practical. Social media is a set of tools, not a strategy unto itself. Tie your efforts to existing, bottom-line business objectives. How you will know if you’ve succeeded?
28. Engagement: The Basics Be patient. It takes time to build a community. If you want to create valuable relationships, there are no shortcuts.
29. Engagement: The Basics Be active. Engage often. Engage regularly. Respond quickly whenpeople engage with you. Keep your content fresh.
30. Engagement: The Basics Use what you have. Create a content calendar. Tie it to your quarterly communications goals. Look for content you’re already creating. Share it in all your channels.
31. Engagement: Create a playbook Who, what, when, why and how. Who will monitor what? To what will you respond? How will you respond? Who will respond? Who needs to approve? Figure it out now beforeyou need it. radian6.com/resources
