Tips & Tricks
AdvocateAnywhere
Aaron Rothschild
Product Manager
aaron@influitive.com
37
Questions marketers ask us….
• How do we find the people willing to perform advocacy for
us?
• How can we engage users with urgent challenges, when
they don‟t come to the hub that often?
TIPS AND TRICKS
38
AdvocateAnywhere allows you to keep
your customer “asks” in context of what
they are currently doing
‒ Logging In to your app
‒ Finished Salesforce Integration with your app
‒ Reading a Blog Post
‒ Reading Customer Stories on your website
‒ Etc.
Context
39
A widget that lets you bring challenges to your customers -
rather than making them visit the hub.
What is AdvocateAnywhere?
40
Notifier – currently a
customizable image
If there is another
challenge available to the
user – this will be
displayed
You advocacy program
name (Ie:
champions, Rockstars, et
c)
The trim color is
customizable to match
your web pages/site
41
AdvocateAnywhere - Inline
This is a section of content
– no pop-up. It is also
personalized to the current
user.
42
After….
If we don’t recognize the visitor
(not a current advocate) – we ask
for email address
If we recognize them
- don’t ask for email
AND
If there are no other
challenges available
for them – thank
them!
We make it easy for you to invite
these users to your full hub
43
Customer Success Story Pages:
• Ask current advocates to provide their customer story.
• Ask current advocates about their favorite feature in your
product - and why.
Your Blog
• Ask visitors if they wanted to work with you on a guest
post.
• Ask Advocates to post ideas for future blog posts
Some Ideas: Your Website
44
Referral/Partner Pages
• Ask any web visitor to provide a referral lead
• Ask partners to perform another challenge (while they are
visiting their portal to register a lead)
Support Portals
• Ask advocates in your portal if they'd like to join the "Early
Beta Access program" --> a lead-in to becoming an
advocate.
• Ask users to fill out a simple NPS survey
Other Web Properties
45
• You can specify WHERE a challenge will appear
‒ Your Blog, Customer success Story Page, Within your App
• You can specify WHO will see the embedded challenge
‒ Registered Advocates who are in a particular group
‒ Unknown Web Visitors
Targeting
46
Targeting: Where
Enter the URL of the webpage where you
want the embed to be displayed
47
Targeting: Who
Include unknown
webvisitors
48
1. Create a challenge that is visible to anyone who lands on a particular
URL/webpage
2. Create a challenge visible only to people who are already registered
advocates
3. Create a challenge that is visible only after Challenge #1 has been
completed
Go to Settings: System : AdvocateAnywhere
How can I experiment with it?
49
• You can automatically “pass” us the user‟s email if your
app already knows it - so we don‟t ask for their email.
• You can trigger the “pop-open” with some JS magic
(speak to me)
• You can build your own version of this pop-up with an API
we‟ve built for this
Improvements Coming Up:
‒ Text label instead of image
‒ More Reporting
‒ More stage types
Bonus: Cool Things

Tentative Roadmap
59
Expand and refine Fall release capabilities
(great UX, track referral lifecycle in SFDC,
end to end visibility to advocate and admin)
‒ Refer by email
Allow advocates to send a referral by email (e.g. to
referral@influitive.com or referral@friends.xactly.com ), receive email
confirmations and status updates and track the status of their referral in
the hub.
‒ Multiple referral challenges (tentative)
Have multiple referral challenges using the same business workflow
and tracking mechanisms
Referrals
#influitivesf
60
‒ Improved Email Templates
• Optimize and create new templates to increase engagement.
• Add new data and call to action in templates – e.g.
After a challenge is approved, suggest another similar challenge to
the advocate.
‒ Redesigned Advocate „Dashboard‟
• Updated visual design
• Improved layout to accommodate allow adding new engagement
mechanisms such as missions, contests, content, etc.
‒ Maven
• Add push notifications, points, badges; Test and update UX.
• Test the impact of stub hubs and advocacy across hubs
Advocate Engagement
#influitivesf
61
‒ Goals
• Allow admins to set goals, track their status and increase their
engagement by pushing them to meet and exceed their goals.
E.g. # of referrals, # of case studies, # of product review per month
‒ Health Meter / Alerts & Tips
• Define a standard health meter tracking the performance of the
customer‟s Hub.
E.g. number of available challenges per advocate, number of new
challenges create over the past week, number of new advocates in
hub, etc.
• Suggest corrective action using best practices.
E.g. Create 5 new challenges and target them to the Partners group.
Customer Value
#influitivesf
62
‒ Syndicate Best Practices Content in Hub
Take CS knowledge base and make it available, in context, in the hub
E.g. Show articles about reporting features and best practices on the
Reporting tab
Best Practices
#influitivesf

Editor's Notes

  1. Over 45 clients and we are growing quickly
  2. Which takes us to our fall product release. Now I am going to hand it over to Eran our new VP of Product to tell us a bit more on how we’re going to help you generate more referrals through your advocate program.
  3. We could demo this portion. Actually, we could demo a majority of these
