UPDATE

If you are doing something worth talking about, it’s time to put a plan together to help the conversations happen. Here’s a great worksheet to do just that, by Andy Sernovitz who is the author of the 5 T Worksheet above. The action plan will help you think about:

• Who to assign what
• How to start with the basics
• How to experiment with different WOM techniques

Remember, everyone’s talking – why not help them talk about your organization?
