Use when

适用场景

  • Proactive strategy for designing, stimulating, and amplifying electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) as a strategic marketing asset — engineering conditions that cause satisfied customers to talk rather than merely responding to what they say. Invoke when a client needs to build an eWOM programme from zero, when review volume is low, when NPS scores are high but referrals are not materialising, or when the client wants to turn satisfied customers into active advocates. Distinct from playbook-reputation-management, which focuses on damage control and response protocols.
  • Use this skill when it is the closest match to the requested deliverable or workflow.
  • 将电子口碑(eWOM)作为战略营销资产进行主动设计、激发和放大的策略——打造让满意客户主动传播的条件,而非仅仅被动回应他们的反馈。适用于客户需要从零搭建eWOM项目、评论量较低、NPS得分高但转介绍未转化,或是客户希望将满意客户转化为主动倡导者的场景。与专注于危机控制和响应规程的声誉管理手册不同。
  • 当该技能与所需交付成果或工作流程最匹配时使用。

Do not use when

不适用场景

  • Do not use this skill for graphic design, video production, software development, or legal advice beyond the repository's stated scope.
  • Do not use it when another skill in this repository is clearly more specific to the requested deliverable.
  • 请勿将此技能用于图形设计、视频制作、软件开发或超出知识库规定范围的法律咨询。
  • 当知识库中另有更贴合所需交付成果的技能时,请勿使用此技能。

Workflow

工作流程

  1. Collect the required inputs or source material before drafting, unless this skill explicitly generates the intake itself.
  2. Follow the section order and decision rules in this
    SKILL.md
    ; do not skip mandatory steps or required fields.
  3. Review the draft against the quality criteria, then deliver the final output in markdown unless the skill specifies another format.
  1. 除非本技能明确要求自行生成输入内容,否则在起草前先收集所需输入或源材料。
  2. 遵循本
    SKILL.md
    中的章节顺序和决策规则;请勿跳过必填步骤或字段。
  3. 根据质量标准审核草稿,然后以markdown格式交付最终输出,除非技能指定其他格式。

Anti-Patterns

反模式

  • Do not invent client facts, performance data, budgets, or approvals that were not provided or clearly inferred from evidence.
  • Do not skip required inputs, mandatory sections, or quality checks just to make the output shorter.
  • Do not drift into out-of-scope work such as code implementation, design production, or unsupported legal conclusions.
  • 请勿编造未提供或无法从证据中明确推断的客户事实、绩效数据、预算或审批信息。
  • 请勿为了缩短输出内容而跳过必填输入、必填章节或质量检查。
  • 请勿偏离范围开展工作,例如代码实现、设计制作或无依据的法律结论。

Outputs

输出成果

  • A structured markdown document, plan, playbook, or strategy ready for client-facing or internal use.
  • 结构化的markdown文档、计划、手册或策略,可直接用于客户对接或内部使用。

Required Inputs

必需输入

Ask for the following before generating any deliverable:
  1. Client business name
  2. Industry
  3. Country / city (defaults to Uganda / East Africa)
  4. Primary goal (e.g. increase Google review volume, build a referral programme, measure NPS for the first time)
  5. Current review platforms active (Google, Facebook, TripAdvisor, industry-specific platforms)
  6. Current monthly review volume (how many new reviews per month across all platforms?)
  7. Current NPS or CSAT score (if available — or confirm that no measurement exists yet)
  8. Primary customer communication channel (WhatsApp, email, phone — affects activation tactic design)

在生成任何交付成果前,需获取以下信息:
  1. 客户企业名称
  2. 所属行业
  3. 国家/城市(默认乌干达/东非)
  4. 核心目标(例如提升Google评论量、搭建转介绍计划、首次测量NPS)
  5. 当前活跃的评论平台(Google、Facebook、TripAdvisor、行业专属平台)
  6. 当前月度评论量(所有平台每月新增评论数量)
  7. 当前NPS或CSAT得分(如有——或确认尚未进行相关测量)
  8. 主要客户沟通渠道(WhatsApp、邮件、电话——影响激活策略设计)

eWOM vs. Reputation Management

eWOM vs. 声誉管理

Reputation management is reactive — it responds to what customers say after they say it. eWOM strategy is proactive — it designs conditions that cause satisfied customers to talk before they are prompted by a negative experience or an external review platform.
The goal of an eWOM programme is to engineer a stream of authentic, voluntary advocacy from real customers — not to manufacture or fake reviews.

声誉管理是被动式的——在客户发声后对其反馈做出回应。而eWOM策略是主动式的——在客户因负面体验或外部评论平台触发反馈前,就打造让满意客户主动传播的条件。
eWOM项目的目标是打造真实客户自发、自愿的传播流——而非制造或伪造评论。

The GST Framework (Hanlon and Tuten, 2022)

GST框架(Hanlon和Tuten,2022)

Consumers engage in three eWOM behaviours. A strong eWOM programme activates all three:
BehaviourDefinitionProgramme goal
GiveShare their own experience — write a review, post a photo, mention the brand in conversationCreate the conditions for satisfied customers to share easily and promptly
SeekLook for others' experiences before making a purchase decisionEnsure the client's reviews and advocacy are visible where seekers look
TransmitShare others' content — repost a review, forward a recommendation, tag a friendCreate shareable assets (screenshot-friendly quotes, shareable posts) that transmitters can pass on

消费者存在三种eWOM行为。完善的eWOM项目需激活全部三种行为:
行为定义项目目标
Give(分享)分享自身体验——撰写评论、发布照片、在对话中提及品牌为满意客户打造便捷、及时的分享条件
Seek(搜寻)在做出购买决策前参考他人体验确保客户的评论和推荐在潜在客户的搜寻渠道中可见
Transmit(传播)分享他人内容——转发评论、推送推荐、标记好友创建便于传播的素材(适合截图的评价、可分享的帖子),供传播者转发

Identifying eWOM Transmitters

识别eWOM传播者

Transmitters are not always the same people as top reviewers. Some customers write excellent reviews but never share them. Others share everything without writing reviews. Identify both types using:
  • Social listening: Who is mentioning the brand without being prompted? Use
    meta-social-listening
    to monitor brand mentions across platforms.
  • Survey data: Ask "Have you recommended us to anyone in the past 3 months?" in an NPS survey — those who answer Yes are active transmitters.
  • CRM data: Which customers have the highest referral rates? Which contacts are sending new enquiries?
Build a separate Advocate List in the CRM — a tagged segment of verified transmitters who receive early access to new offerings, exclusive updates, and referral incentives.

传播者并非总是顶级评论者。有些客户会撰写优质评论但从不分享,有些客户则会分享一切但不写评论。可通过以下方式识别这两类人群:
  • 社交聆听:谁在未被触发的情况下提及品牌?使用
    meta-social-listening
    跨平台监控品牌提及情况。
  • 调研数据:在NPS调研中询问“过去3个月内您是否向他人推荐过我们?”——回答“是”的客户即为活跃传播者。
  • CRM数据:哪些客户的转介绍率最高?哪些联系人带来了新咨询?
在CRM中建立单独的倡导者列表——标记已验证的传播者群体,为其提供新产品抢先体验权、专属更新和转介绍激励。

Activation Tactics

激活策略

At Peak Satisfaction Moments

在满意度峰值时刻

Identify and map the client's peak satisfaction moments — points in the customer journey where positive emotion is highest. Common examples:
  • Project completion or delivery (services)
  • Product unboxing or first use (e-commerce)
  • Problem resolution after a complaint
  • A milestone reached (client hits a goal with the service's help)
At each peak moment: Ask for a review within 48 hours. Use a single-tap review link sent via WhatsApp — do not require the customer to search for the review platform or log in to a platform they do not already use. Response rates drop by approximately 80% after 48 hours.
WhatsApp review request template: "Hi [Name], I'm really glad [positive outcome]. Could I ask a quick favour? If you have 2 minutes, a Google review would mean a lot to us — here's the link: [direct link]. Just share your honest experience. Thank you!"
识别并梳理客户的满意度峰值时刻——客户旅程中积极情绪最高的节点。常见示例:
  • 项目完成或交付(服务类)
  • 产品拆箱或首次使用(电商类)
  • 投诉问题得到解决
  • 达成里程碑(借助服务帮助客户实现目标)
在每个峰值时刻: 48小时内请求客户撰写评论。通过WhatsApp发送一键评论链接——不要让客户自行搜索评论平台或登录未使用过的平台。48小时后,响应率会下降约80%。
WhatsApp评论请求模板: "您好[姓名],很高兴看到[积极成果]。能否请您帮个小忙?如果您有2分钟时间,一条Google评论对我们意义重大——链接在此:[直接链接]。只需分享您的真实体验即可。谢谢!"

Incentivised Advocacy (Where Applicable)

激励式倡导(适用场景)

Offer a non-monetary incentive for general advocacy (social sharing, referrals — not Google reviews, which prohibit incentivisation):
  • Early access to new services or products
  • Entry into a monthly recognition draw
  • Public recognition: feature the customer in a social post or case study
  • A handwritten or WhatsApp thank-you note (in EA, personal recognition is often more motivating than a discount)
Important: Google's review guidelines explicitly prohibit incentivised Google reviews. Design advocacy incentives for referrals and social sharing — not for Google review submission.

为一般性倡导(社交分享、转介绍——而非Google评论,Google禁止此类激励)提供非金钱激励:
  • 抢先体验新服务或产品
  • 参与月度表彰抽奖
  • 公开认可:在社交帖子或案例研究中展示客户
  • 手写或WhatsApp感谢信(在东非,个人认可往往比折扣更具激励性)
重要提示: Google评论准则明确禁止激励式Google评论。设计倡导激励时应针对转介绍和社交分享——而非Google评论提交。

The Objectivity Principle

客观性原则

Display negative reviews alongside positive ones. The counterintuitive evidence is robust (Rageh, 2026): a 4.3-star rating with a mix of reviews is more trusted than a 5.0 rating with uniformly perfect reviews. Consumers interpret a perfect record as manipulation or selective deletion.
Response to negative reviews:
  • Respond to every negative review within 24 hours
  • Acknowledge the experience without being defensive
  • Offer a direct channel to resolve the issue (WhatsApp number or email — not a public argument)
  • After resolution, invite the customer to update their review if they feel their experience has changed
Responding professionally to a 2-star review demonstrates genuine accountability. This increases trust more than the 2-star review costs — and is visible to every future prospect who reads the review thread.

同时展示负面评论和正面评论。有反常识的有力证据表明(Rageh,2026):混合评论的4.3星评分比全好评的5.0星评分更可信。消费者会将完美记录解读为操纵或选择性删除。
负面评论回应:
  • 24小时内回复所有负面评论
  • 认可客户体验,避免防御性态度
  • 提供直接解决问题的渠道(WhatsApp号码或邮件——不要在公开场合争论)
  • 问题解决后,邀请客户若体验有所改善可更新评论
专业回应2星评论能展现真正的责任感。这比2星评论带来的负面影响更能提升信任——且所有未来潜在客户都能看到评论对话。

eWOM Measurement Framework

eWOM衡量框架

Track the following metrics monthly:
MetricDefinitionTarget
Review velocityNew reviews per month across all platformsIncreasing month-on-month
Sentiment ratioPositive : neutral : negative reviewsTarget 85:10:5 or better
Net Promoter Score (NPS)% promoters minus % detractors on a 0–10 scale50+ is strong; 70+ is exceptional
Share rate% of published social content shared by audience members (not just liked)Track trend over time
Referral rate% of new enquiries that cite an existing customer as the sourceTrack via CRM source field
Review platform spreadHow many platforms have active, recent reviewsMinimum 2 platforms; Google is always one
Review all six metrics monthly. Prioritise review velocity and NPS as the two most actionable leading indicators.

每月跟踪以下指标:
指标定义目标
评论增速所有平台每月新增评论数量逐月增长
情感占比正面:中性:负面评论目标85:10:5或更佳
净推荐值(NPS)推荐者占比减去贬损者占比(0–10分制)50+为良好;70+为优秀
分享率受众分享已发布社交内容的比例(不仅仅是点赞)跟踪长期趋势
转介绍率提及现有客户为来源的新咨询占比通过CRM来源字段跟踪
评论平台覆盖度拥有活跃、近期评论的平台数量至少2个平台;Google必选
每月审核全部六项指标。优先关注评论增速和NPS这两个最具行动指导性的领先指标。

Platform Priority for EA Clients

东非客户平台优先级

PlatformPriorityNotes
Google ReviewsEssentialHighest search visibility; influences Google Maps ranking
Facebook RecommendationsHighHighest platform penetration in EA; trusted by all demographics
TripAdvisorFor hospitality and tourism clients onlySector-specific but important for hotel, restaurant, and travel clients
Industry directoriesContext-dependentHealth, legal, construction: check sector-specific directories
Instagram and TikTok UGCSupplementaryUser-generated content and tags build social proof without structured reviews
Do not spread eWOM effort across too many platforms. Focus on Google and Facebook first. Expand only after review velocity on both is strong.

平台优先级说明
Google Reviews核心搜索可见度最高;影响Google Maps排名
Facebook Recommendations东非平台渗透率最高;受全年龄段信任
TripAdvisor仅适用于酒店旅游客户行业专属,但对酒店、餐厅和旅游客户至关重要
行业目录视场景而定医疗、法律、建筑行业:查看行业专属目录
Instagram和TikTok UGC补充用户生成内容和标签无需结构化评论即可打造社交证明
不要在过多平台分散eWOM精力。首先聚焦Google和Facebook。只有当两者的评论增速都稳定后,再考虑拓展其他平台。

eWOM Programme Build Sequence

eWOM项目搭建流程

Follow this sequence when building an eWOM programme from zero:
  1. Audit current proof — inventory all existing reviews, testimonials, and social mentions. Identify which peak satisfaction moments currently generate unsolicited advocacy.
  2. Set up review links — create a short-link (bit.ly or similar) for each priority review platform. Test on a mobile device before deploying.
  3. Train the team — brief every customer-facing team member on the 48-hour review request window and the WhatsApp request template. Role-play the conversation.
  4. Implement NPS measurement — send an NPS survey to all active clients in the first month. Identify promoters (score 9–10) and add them to the Advocate List.
  5. Launch referral mechanic — create a simple referral prompt for promoters: a WhatsApp message or email with a referral request and a small recognition incentive.
  6. Build the review response routine — assign one team member to check and respond to all new reviews weekly. Draft response templates for common positive and negative themes.
  7. Report monthly — review the six eWOM metrics monthly; adjust tactics based on what is generating the highest review velocity and NPS movement.

从零搭建eWOM项目时遵循以下流程:
  1. 审核现有证据——盘点所有现有评论、推荐语和社交提及。识别当前哪些满意度峰值时刻会产生自发倡导。
  2. 设置评论链接——为每个优先级评论平台创建短链接(如bit.ly)。部署前在移动设备上测试。
  3. 团队培训——向所有客户对接团队成员讲解48小时评论请求窗口和WhatsApp请求模板。进行角色扮演演练。
  4. 实施NPS测量——首月向所有活跃客户发送NPS调研。识别推荐者(9–10分)并将其加入倡导者列表。
  5. 启动转介绍机制——为推荐者创建简单的转介绍提示:WhatsApp消息或邮件,包含转介绍请求和小型表彰激励。
  6. 建立评论回应流程——指定一名团队成员每周检查并回复所有新评论。针对常见正面和负面主题起草回应模板。
  7. 月度汇报——每月审核六项eWOM指标;根据哪些策略带来最高评论增速和NPS变化调整战术。
