I then ran Toys R Us UK\u2019s online business in early 2000, before running ecommerce for Hamleys in London. I dropped out of corporate life and wanted to set up my own consultancy helping large companies go online. While working on that business plan I got involved in some enterprise projects at my old school, Denefield in Tilehurst. We set up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.schooltrip.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schooltrip.com<\/a> for which I was company director for two years. We raised \u00a31million for this business idea, which involved managing school trips using an online workflow system, and helping schools buy better.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did that lead to Social Retail Group?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That got me a taste for being a company director and the corporate experience of running a business with other people\u2019s money. I set up SocialRetail Group on July 4 2008 \u2013 just before the big crash! I wanted to do something I would run from client services. Along with that, I looked at ecommerce and social networking and started a local project called Reading Rock Academy (RRA) in September 2008, which focused on helping people write music.<\/p>\n<p>I was curious about local hashtags and how we could group and talk at the speed of a tweet. I learnt the art of conversation. Rather than marketing and content-driven posts, it was much more about welcoming new followers, and open questions.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years on, that\u2019s the technique I use in SocialRetail today. Don\u2019t obsess about how many followers you\u2019ve got as a vanity metric but do obsess about the <em>quality<\/em> of followers. Every follower is a blessing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So you were juggling both businesses?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, for five or six years. But every time I was doing something within RRA, hiring The Hexagon, doing a live music event, using social media to sell 1,000 tickets, I was learning how you can use social to sell. So even though it was not paying the bills, it was giving me a massive learning opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>I knew if a business is focused on a common conversation topic that is the true founding principle of the company, you could align all your staff as ambassadors on social, on the hashtag, you could compete and reduce ad spend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conversation v content. What\u2019s the difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Conversation is two-way, a thread. Content tends to be broadcast. I believe the world of social is around the art of well-curated communities, connections and conversations. Then augment it within the way you normally communicate. For example, a business may have a face-to-face event but use a hashtag for it so the conversation can continue way after that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is \u2018social\u2019 retail so important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regardless of Brexit, the British Retail Consortium is predicting 1 million jobs will be displaced by 2020, so how are those businesses going to operate? Many are cutting shops down. What SRG is saying is there is another way \u2013 you can keep your shops open but arm your staff with this skill of talking socially so it\u2019s social retailing, not social media. Hang out with your customers, learn at the speed of a tweet, learn before your competitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your core offering?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Training and analytics. We train your colleagues and analyse good performance and give them a dashboard back so they can reward colleagues. And those training and analytics moments are now focused in an app I have developed over 10 years \u2013 Shopfloor Engage. It can be deployed at scale. Staff offering good customer service can get points and rewards and start to augment their salary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your work with Hobbycraft is a great example of this. Tell us more.<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hobbycraft Reading\u2019s Twitter went live on June 1 2015. My sales pitch started four years before this as we went through an investigative process together, how can we switch-on the store socially to its local community? Thanks to the \u2018rdguk\u2019 hashtag, there was a ready-made community the store could already connect with. We did a pilot and within a few days store staff were effortlessly talking to customers as if they were on the shop floor. We tracked sales over three months before and after and saw a 7% increase in sales.<\/p>\n<p>We rolled it out to all 93 stores in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re now looking at a roadmap of how we socialise the store even more using Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp and iMessage.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>But how is what you offer different to a retailer simply chatting on Twitter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are five things we want &#8211; three responding moments and two broadcast moments. Responding moments are welcome every new follower (but first diligently look at their profile), respond when someone mentions you, and respond to direct messages.<\/p>\n<p>The broadcast moments are, if there\u2019s a good offer, don\u2019t forget to broadcast that out and if there\u2019s news and updates mention that as well.<\/p>\n<p>In my upcoming book <em>Think Twice, Tweet Once<\/em>, it\u2019s about the art of conversation &#8211; think before you tweet. It\u2019s from a phrase I stole from my late father, a carpenter \u2013 measure twice, cut once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What sort of business would benefit from your expertise?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A retail business that wants to build value and use the store colleague experience to amplify what\u2019s unique about the company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your main challenges?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not a lot of retailers left as clients! So I\u2019m branching out into other sectors like restaurants, jewellery shops and car dealerships.<\/p>\n<p>Another challenge is marketing directors. They are very much command and control focused and brand lockdown on social. They are not ready to empower people. They might love the idea of doing it but don\u2019t want to spend the time doing it. It\u2019s really tough when you\u2019re a small business selling into a large corporate, often across conflicting departments. I have to keep my pricing honest and my cost base low so I can survive in the lean moments. And that\u2019s why I love it here at Work.Life!<\/p>\n<p><strong>So why Work.Life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had an office at Reading Enterprise Centre at Reading University for eight years, because I was employing students, it was great to be on campus. But I wanted something more lively and vibrant, and I wanted to work back in Reading so when this place came up and they said you don\u2019t have to have an office I thought great. It has a community feel, I like the hangout space and that I can use it at the weekend. I also bring my clients in. I did a pitch for EE at Clerkenwell Work.Life and I also brought stationery retailer Ryman down to Reading Work.Life. They came from Crewe and loved this space. I feel as I\u2019m scaling and growing, so is Work.Life. The roof here is also really cool.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you enjoy the most about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love the freedom of running my own business. I love the creativity, I love selling and meeting new people. Happiness is not wealth, happiness is the balance between work and life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can people get in touch?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visit our website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.socialretailgroup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">socialretailgroup.com<\/a>, or drop me a line at hello@socialretailgroup.com.
