Whether it’s sharing best practices on her blog, presenting at conferences, or just offering an encouraging word to a newcomer in the industry, Connie has been an a leading voice for community managers over the past two years.

She offers some insight insight into her work below.

Connie Bensen
* Community strategist for Techrigy, Inc.
* Twitter ID: @CBensen

Day-to-day role and responsibilities

My position is the ideal community position–but then, I created it! When I was invited to join a young startup, I was given much freedom in defining my role. I report to the CEO and work cross-functionally with PR, marketing, customer service, and product development. My responsibilities include creating customer resources, training customers, teaching internal staff, quality assurance (QA), reporting and tracking bugs (yes, I have access to that database!), and suggesting new feature requests.

I consider communication to be my most important function, and my role is a mix of strategy and tactics. I enjoy both approaches, and appreciate the opportunity to assist my company as we scale.

Techrigy is a very transparent organization. We have a free version of our product, so there is nothing proprietary about that. Internally, I appreciate having complete knowledge of the organization, including financial aspects. My CEO is very open to ideas and encourages teamwork.

Overall, my team is the whole company. Because we are a business-to-business (B2B) company, we have a sales team. I have trained everyone on utilizing and participating in social media, so Twitter and LinkedIn are key for us.

For listening, we use our own product, Techrigy SM2, to monitor real-time alerts and identify trends in regard to our brand and competitors. also use Google Alerts and Twitter Search (integrated into TweetDeck).

Key skills needed for community managers

  • Excellent communication skills
  • Able to think on your feet
  • Willing to work tirelessly for the community and company, 24/7
  • Strong leadership skills and ability to motivate others
  • A creative spirit

(Managing Communities 2009 is a series of profiles on online community professionals.)
