Greg Shepherd It'll be interesting to see how this emerging anthropological construct eventually pans itself out (synergising geography with an everchanging miasma of IT conceptuality).
Social Media Academy
There are lots of opinions about social media and how important it is for B2B communications, but two things are very clear: 1) vendors are embracing social media to communicate directly with customers; and, 2) channel partners are far behind on the social media learning curve. The result is a missed opportunity for re...sellers.
There is only one way to close this learning gap. Someone has to show the channel how to use social media for business. Not just train the resellers, but provide them with the education, tools, and leadership to make them productive. But who is responsible for making this happen? The answer is another question. Who has the most to lose if resellers are not successful?
The Gilwell Group has been conducting a poll on this subject. Most readers think it is the vendor’s responsibility to educate their channel. There is also a significant minority who believe industry trade groups should step up and develop certification courses. However, almost nobody thinks resellers should or could learn to use social media on their own.
The most realistic scenario is that social media enablement will be a collaborative effort between vendors, trade associations, and even resellers. All leading partner programs are on target to integrate Web 2.0 into their core marketing and communication strategies by the end of next year. Therefore, 2010 also needs to be the year of channel social media empowerment.
Social Media is not going away. Resellers who do not know how to use it effectively will gradually be disadvantaged. And so will their vendor partners.
The Social Media Academy, in association with Gilwell Group, has developed a process to help close the social media usage gap. Join us for a short (30 minute) webcast on December 17 to see if this program will work for your company and channels.
