Jeff talked to Leslie about how she established mission, vision, and values with startups, enabling them to create authentic and meaningful communities.
Leslie discussed how she believes in customer journeys that lead to evangelists referring others in by micro wins throughout the journey.
Jeff and Leslie also discussed Word-of-mouth marketing and how it is particularly relevant in the digital age, as well as understanding the competitive landscape and personas when rolling out a new one.
They also had a fascinating discussion about the effectiveness of gamification in communities, and how internal intrinsic motivation leads to better engagement levels than external extrinsic rewards.
