The power of anecdote + metrics
Social media frees SAP sales team to
focus on lower-funnel activities,
improving productivity and close rate.
Social media has changed the point at
which many sales professionals begin to
engage with prospects, because it helps
prospects to “self-qualify” by engaging
with others in SAP communities early in
their decision process.

Measurement Strategy
Deeply integrated with Facebook; uses URL
tracking to measure business outcomes.
“The transaction is the most sacred part
of the funnel, but we’re optimizing all
parts of the funnel. For example, if you
look at total attendee sharing, 60% of
sharing occurs after the purchase.
One in 100 people who look at an event
page before purchase share it, while 1 in
10 share it after purchase. And a post-
purchase share drives 20% more ticket
sales than a pre-purchase share.”
− Tamara Mendelsohn, VP Marketing

42. Final Thoughts
1. Think from the customer in, not the organization out
• Holistic view of customer drives ‘real-time’ and ‘right-time’
engagement; requires ability to see cause and effect
2. Social data is “Big Data”
• Embracing volumes, variety, and velocity of social data will help
prepare organizations for other data streams to come
3. This will drive organizational change
• Consider the HiPPO phenomenon and democratization of
decision-making based on data (vs. intuition)
4. Making real-time real
• With existing data types and the advent of news technologies,
social data integration is real, and happening now.

What we’ve heard from our customers about tagging

I don’t know if the tag
will break my site.”
“I hate having to
retag my site every
time there’s a new
marketing tool.”
“Trying to get IT to
prioritize my marketing
tags takes 9 months.”
“Tags slow down
my page!”
