Break the silos

Unfortunately, many organizations today still have a siloed approach when it comes to social media. All too often, responsibility for social media is confined to one particular department, such as communications, marketing or customer support. In the era of the Social Enterprise, this is no longer a viable strategy, argues Baochi Nguyen, Social Media Strategist at RingCentral. In her presentation on the social media conference track, Baochi will show how to implement social media at a corporate-wide level:

• How do you instill cross-departmental collaboration with social media?
• How do you encourage usage of social media by sales staff, HR professionals, and basically by each and every employee of the organization?
• How do you “sell” the value proposition of social to senior management?

Baochi is very well placed to suggest answers to these questions. At RingCentral, the #1 cloud-based phone system for businesses, Baochi oversees social strategy and community management. Previous to this, she led the social strategy efforts of Boingo Wireless, where her work earned recognition from Mashable, Entrepreneur Magazine and various book publications.

Caring about your customers

Baochi’s presentation fits well with the conference theme of ‘sharing is caring’. In its essence, your organization’s social media efforts are all about showing that you care about your audience. You have to win your prospects, customers and fans with every interaction across the various platforms. You can do this best by engaging with the public and by showing that your firm is authentic, human and caring.
