CNO Interino do MISTER PRT Brasil


Acabamos de assinar um contrato de prestação de serviços de CNO Interino para o MISTER PRT Brasil. MISTER é um sistema de transporte leve sobre trilhos elevados com origem na Polônia. PRT significa Personal Rapid Transport. Acreditamos que esse tipo de sistema de transporte dominará a paisagem das grandes metrópoles do mundo inteiro. E MISTER está muito bem posicionado, em todos os sentidos, para se tornar num global player muito rapidamente. Queremos fazer parte dessa estória de sucesso. O flyer, folder e vídeo (abaixo) sumarizam seus diversos benefícios oferecidos a população Brasileira.


Como Chief Networking Officer nosso papel é o de organizar toda a rede local de relacionamento de negócios, identificar as oportunidades e todos os profissionais relevantes na cadeia de tomada de decisão e acelerar a sua penetração de mercado agendado reuniões com quem de direito. Na verdade, essa é apenas uma pequena parcela de todo o verdadeiro valor que um CNO agrega as empresas.

Estamos muito animados com esse desafio e acreditamos que o MISTER será um grande sucesso no Brasil contribuindo significativamente para a melhoria no transporte público nas grandes cidades. MISTER apresenta uma proposta de negócios simplesmente vencedora!

Quem sabe possamos aceitar o desafio e atuar como CNO Interino para outras empresas que tenham um produto e/ou serviço inovador, cultura altamente empreendedora e alinhada com nossa própria cultura além daquele brilho diferenciado no olhar e uma proposta comercial extremamente agressiva?

Cordialmente,

      Gestão Digital em Redes Sociais




      Olá pessoal,


      Verificamos que a grande maioria daqueles que atendem ao nosso treinamento sobre redes sociais que já nos renderam diversos e generosos testemunhos em vídeo, deixam de capitalizar ao máximo nos seus benefícios por uma série de fatores ou todos ao mesmo tempo:
      1. Falta de tempo;
      2. Não desenvolvimento do hábito;
      3. Atividade de redes sociais não está relacionada diretamente ao seu core business.
      Entretanto, os profissionais são quase unânimes em reconhecer a importância de se ter uma presença digital dinâmica e atualizada nas redes sociais. Assim, objetivando atender a essa demanda, criamos o serviço de
      gestão de conteúdo digital em redes sociais.

      Nossa experiência demonstra que em apenas 3 meses já teremos resultados bem tangíveis e que se perpetuarão na Internet. Se o cliente comparar com sua atividade anterior, ele verá que a relação investimento x benefícios é extremamente válida e saudável. 
       
      Antecipadamente agradecido pela oportunidade em serví-los.

      HR & Chief Networking Officer

      We have seen recently how a specific group of professionals, Executive Secretaries, can greatly contribute to the successful implementation of the Business Networks Management (BNM) program led by the CNO - Chief Networking Officer.

      We will see now how an entire department and of great potential strategic value, Human Resources, can contribute decisively to the success of this program. Here are three action points:

      1) Within the responsibilities of HR, we have training. One of the first activities is to recruit collaborators who are interested in contributing to the firm through social networking tools. This action is voluntary, but extremely important. The CNO will train volunteers to use social networks on behalf of the company with application, both for business and for recruitment & selection.

      The explanation is very simple. With the advent of social networks, the vast majority of staff already have profiles into these platforms and an average network of 250 contacts. Well, if we're talking about a large company with 1,000 employees, we are considering an expanded network of 250,000 of second degree contacts. Of course we will have many redundancies, but still, we have a population of a medium sized city. Imagine if the company can raise the average to 1,000 contacts per employee with this training?

      All these people are potential stakeholders around the business, ie, customers, suppliers, investors, media contacts, distribution channels, etc ... By the time, the company activates this mega communication  channel through social networks, it positions itself strongly in the mind of its audience and begins to attract a lot of opportunities around itself.

      This activity takes place in both real  world and online one. If the company has already created a corporate social network, the collaborators can invite all their contacts from both online and real worlds to participate in it to the extent they are grouped according to their position in the stakeholder matrix. In order to do so, it is imperative that the company already has segmented these stakeholders in groups of customers, suppliers, channels and so on.

      2) Another important role of HR is to identify potential relationship managers of various groups of stakeholders in several departments. This activity, initially voluntary, can pay very interesting dividends to the professional  when that program results start to appear.

      3) Finally, the RH is also instrumental in developing a  mesaurement and reward policy for this business networks management activity. Benefits can be agreed , case by case, in various ways, eg, fixed  fee attached to a specific business outcome, promotion with natural salary increase, advanced courses, opportunity to represent the company in relevant forums, among others.

      Conclusion: the deeper the HR is engaged with the business networks  management program implemented by the CNO, the faster the company will feel the immediate effects of this new business approach. A truly active and strategic HR is an effective center to generate multiple revenue streams for the company.

      RH e Chief Networking Officer


      Recentemente vimos como um grupo específico de profissionais, Secretárias Executivas, muito pode contribuir para o sucesso da implementação do programa de Gestão de Redes de Negócios (GRN) liderado pelo CNO - Chief Networking Officer.

      Agora veremos como um departamento inteiro e de grande valor estratégico potencial , Recursos Humanos, pode contribuir decisivamente para o sucesso desse programa. Eis três pontos de ação:

      1) Dentro das atribuições do RH, temos o treinamento. Uma das primeiras atividades é recrutar colaboradores interessados em contribuir para a empresa através do ferramental de redes sociais. Essa ação será voluntária, mas de extrema importância. O CNO treinará os voluntários a usar as redes sociais em favor da empresa com aplicação, tanto para negócios, quanto para recrutamento e seleção.

      A explicação é muito simples. Com o advento das redes sociais, a grande maioria dos profissionais já possui um perfil e uma rede de contatos cujo tamanho médio é de 250 pessoas. Pois bem, se estamos falando de uma grande empresa com 1.000 colaboradores, estamos considerando uma rede expandida em segundo grau de 250.000 contatos. Logicamente que teremos diversas redundâncias mas, ainda assim, temos uma população do porte de uma cidade de tamanho médio. Imagine se a empresa consegue aumentar a média para 1.000 contato por colaborador com o treinamento?

      Todas essas pessoas são potenciais stakeholders ao redor do negócio da empresa, i.e., clientes, fornecedores, investidores, contatos de mídia, canais de distribuição etc... Na medida em que a empresa ativa esse mega canal de comunicação através das redes sociais, ela se posiciona fortemente na mente desse público-alvo e começa a atrair uma série de oportunidades ao seu redor.

      Essa atividade acontece tanto no mundo online quanto no mundo real. Se a empresa já tiver criado uma rede social corporativa, os colaboradores poderão convidar todos os seus contatos do mundo online e do mundo real a participar da mesma na medida em que são agrupados de acordo com seu posicionamento na matriz de stakeholders. Para tal, é imperativo que a empresa já os tenham segmentados em grupos de clientes, fornecedores, canais e assim por diante.

      2) Um outro papel importante do RH é o de identificar possíveis gestores de relacionamento dos diversos grupos de stakeholders nos mais diversos departamentos da empresa. Essa atividade, inicialmente voluntária, pode gerar dividendos muito interessantes para o profissional na medida em que os resultados do programa começarem a aparecer.

      3) Por fim, o RH também é fundamental no desenvolvimento de uma política de mensuração e recompensa dessa atividade de gestão de redes de negócios. Os benefícios podem ser acordados, caso a caso, de diversas formas, e.g., valor fixo pelo resultado específico, promoções com natural aumento de salário, cursos avançados, oportunidade de representar a empresa em fóruns relevantes, entre outros.

      Conclusão: quanto mais profundo for o enganjamento do RH com o programa de gestão de redes de negócios implementado pelo CNO, mais rapidamente, a empresa sentirá os efeitos imediatos dessa nova abordagem de negócios. Um RH verdadeiramente ativo e estratégico é um efetivo centro de geração de receitas múltiplas para a empresa.

      Five Ways to Take Charge of Your Own Networking

       BNI´s Founder and Chairman, Ivan Misner has been speaking and writting about networking for a very long time. He also supports the CNO - Chief Networking Officer concept as stated in this recent article below.

      Among large companies -- take Google and HP, for instance -- there's a trend to create a new executive-level role called Chief Networking Officer. Some businesses call the role Community Manager.

      Whatever you choose to call it, the CNO is the person who handles business networking and community-related activities, and the responsibilities range from developing word-of-mouth campaigns to referral-generation strategies. Other roles of the CNO include client relationship management, public relations, inter-departmental collaboration, corporate culture and relationship advertising and marketing.

      In this article, I will focus on two roles of the CNO: word-of-mouth campaigns and referral-generation strategies. If you want to network like a pro, these roles should be the principal focus of your CNO.

      First, let's address the thought that probably just popped into your head: "Hey, I run a 10-person (four-person/one-person) organization; how can I afford to hire a CNO to do my networking? Quite frankly, there never seem to be enough resources to take care of all the things the business needs, let alone hire an executive-level person."

      But you don't have to hire a new executive. As the business owner, you're probably filling that job in one way or another already. Here are five actions you can take to be the Chief Networking Officer for your company.

      1. Participate in two to three networking events each month, and follow up with people you meet. As a smart, enterprising businessperson, you already know the importance of networking and how vital it is to meet new people. However, one of the biggest mistakes people make is failing to follow up.
      By adopting a CNO mindset, you recognize that meeting new folks while networking is just the first step toward generating more word-of-mouth business. The second step is meeting them later over coffee or lunch to learn more about their business and how you can help them. When you do that, you pave the way for future referral business.

      2. Touch base with past business contacts by making two personal phone calls each week. Again, if you're like me, you've got so much going on that the thought of making two more phone calls is almost too much. But remember, a CNO's job is maintaining relationships and generating referrals. And that can't happen unless you stay in touch.

      3. Use postcards and greeting cards to stay in touch with people throughout the year. A good time to do this is on annual holidays -- and not just Christmas or New Year's, but also St. Patrick's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and Halloween.

      Buy a pack of 20 cards and send them to people you've fallen out of touch with and with whom you'd like to reconnect -- past clients, past vendors, a friend of a friend, another business owner you chatted with at your local coffee shop a few months ago. This will keep you foremost in these people's minds.

      4. Take good care of your database. A CNO should have a top-flight contact database and contact management system (CMS) to help her stay organized. It can be as simple as a physical card file or as high-tech as an online data site. It just needs to be something you can use so business cards aren't falling off your desk.

      Database management software can supercharge your referral-generation system. Because there are data entry fields for many different kinds of information (e-mail address, phone number, profession, where you met the contact, etc.), you can sort and target e-mails to particular segments of your database with a few clicks of the mouse. There are several CMS systems, including ACT, Microsoft Outlook, and Relate2Profit.com.

      The reason these systems are so important for a CNO is because his contacts are his business. You can't get referrals unless you have relationships, and you can't have relationships unless you stay in touch and up to date with contacts. A good contact database and contact management system enables you to do both while creating a powerful word-of-mouth marketing campaign.

      5. Always thank your referral partners. A referral partner is not simply a contact who gives you referrals every once in a while; a referral partner is someone with whom you have entered into a relationship that is mutually trusting, respectful and beneficial.

      Maintaining that relationship means, among other things, thanking your contact for referrals. It's just good manners.

      Thanks can and often should take the form of reciprocation, of course; get a referral, give a referral. But reciprocity doesn't require such a quid-pro-quo response, and indeed it might seem a bit artificial if it happened as a matter of course. Gratitude by reciprocity should be given freely and abundantly, not in measured response to the number of referrals received. A referral partnership should never be viewed as a simple accountancy.

      Extending a simple "thank you" is probably the single biggest action a CNO can take to maximize the number of referrals he gets. It will typically double the amount of referral business he gets from an existing referral partner.

      Every business should have a CNO, but you don't have to hire one. You just have to take on the CNO mindset.
