Produktbeschreibung

How to use social and viral technologies to supercharge customer service - and avoid disasters along the way

• The breakthrough guide to leveraging social and viral media - by Peter Shankman, the legendary founder of HARO, one of today's hottest Internet growth companies
• Actionable insights based on what's really happening right now - not yesterday's news or academic theory
• How to build customer loyalty, trust, and credibility online - and rebuild it after a customer service catastrophe

In this book, legendary online marketer Peter Shankman reveals how to make the most of social and viral media in customer service. Shankman is founder of Help a Reporter Online (HARO), one of the world's fastest-growing online businesses. This book shares everything he learned in founding HARO and other online startups and through his extraordinary 16-year career online. Shankman covers all this, and more: " Getting smarter about social networking every day " Choosing which online media make sense for you - and which you can " Learning from other companies' viral "disasters" " Gaining customer loyalty, trust, and credibility on the web " Rebuilding your credibility after you've taken a public "hit" online " Making sure everyone hears your customers when they compliment you " Capturing all your customer knowledge and using it in real time " Keeping people talking - and not just about you This practical, relentlessly realistic tutorial is designed to engage readers with simple, straight-to-the-point facts and techniques they can understand and immediately apply. As Shankman puts it: "You don't need an army - or a team of 300 social media junkies. Southwest Airlines does it with a few people. Same thing with Comcast. And yes, same thing with HARO." You can, too - and this book will show you how.

Autorenporträt

Peter Shankman-PR Week Magazine has described Peter as "redefining the art of networking," and Investor's Business Daily has called him "crazy, but effective." Peter Shankman is a spectacular example of what happens when you harness the power of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and make it work to your advantage. An entrepreneur, author, speaker, and worldwide connector, Peter is recognized worldwide for radically new ways of thinking about social media, PR, marketing, advertising, creativity, and customer service.

Peter is perhaps best known for founding Help A Reporter Out (HARO), which in under a year has become the de-facto standard for thousands of journalists looking for sources on deadline, offering them more than 125,000 sources around the world looking to be quoted in the media. HARO is currently the largest free source repository in the world, sending out over 1,500 queries from worldwide media each week. HARO's tagline, "Everyone Is an Expert at Something," proves over and over again to be true, as thousands of new members join at helpareporter.com each week.

In addition to HARO, Peter is the founder and CEO of The Geek Factory, Inc., a boutique social media and marketing strategy firm located in New York City, with clients worldwide. His blog (www.shankman.com), which he launched as a website in 1995, both comments on and generates news and conversation.

Peter's PR and social media clients have included the Snapple Beverage Group, NASA, The U.S. Department of Defense, Walt Disney World, The Ad Council, American Express, Discovery Networks, New Frontier Media, Napster, Juno, Dream Catcher Destinations Club, Harrah's Hotels, and many others. In addition, he sits on the board of the Scott-e-Vest, the world's first technologically enabled clothing line.

Peter is the author of Can We Do That?! Outrageous PR Stunts That Work and Why Your Company Needs Them (Wiley and Sons 2006) and is a frequent keynote speaker and workshop presenter at conferences and tradeshows worldwide, including The Public Relations Society of America, The International Association of Business Communicators, CTIA, CTAM, CES, PMA, OMMA, Mobile Marketing Asia, and the Direct Marketing Association.

A marketing pundit for several national and international news channels, including Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC, Peter is frequently quoted in major media and trade publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, New York DailyNews, Associated Press, Reuters, CNN, and USA Today.

Peter started his career in Vienna, Virginia, with America Online as a senior news editor. He helped found the AOL Newsroom and spearheaded coverage of the Democratic and Republican 1996 conventions, which marked the first time an online news service covered any major political event.

Born and raised in New York City, Peter still lives there with his two psychotic cats, Karma and NASA, who consistently deny his repeated requests to relinquish the couch. In the few hours of spare time Peter has per month, he's a frequent runner, with 13 completed marathons and countless triathlons to his credit, and is a "B" licensed skydiver, specializing in free-flying.
