IntroductionI want to break this topic down and look at this topic with as much reality that I can muster.There is an enormous amount of hype around Social CRM and I think this can get in the way of a sober assessment of how new the Social Networks can be used to enhance business.Lets start with a definition.“more than just a software application. It is a business solution for all customer-centric processes. It covers every interaction with customers across the entire business. It improves internal business processes, enables closer management of new and existing customer relationships, increases revenues and decreases inefficiencies and provides management with timely and reliable insight to guide decisions.”Custom Relationship Management is a strategy for managing a organisation's interactions with external contacts, customers, clients and sales prospects. It uses technology to automate business rules, organize data, and synchronize processes. It might be mainly used for sales, but extends across marketing, customer service, and technical support. And it goes deep! It brings back office information to the customer facing teams e.g. stock levels or credit history.
“Social Media is a set of technologies and channels targeted at forming and enabling a potentially massive community of participants to productively collaborate”That’s from Anthony Bradley, Group VP of Gartner Research. You can see that is quoted in the brochure Sage CRM and Social Media.The use of technology (websites and applications) to communicate informally with other users, or to find people with similar interests to oneself. Data is typically not structured. The technology is typically third party and so not under your control.
Paul Greenberg defines Social CRM as…“a philosophy & a business strategy, supported by a technology platform, business rules, workflow, processes & social characteristics, designed to engage the customer in a collaborative conversation in order to provide mutually beneficial value in a trusted & transparent business environment.”I understand Social CRM to be a strategy to engage with those informal unstructured networks in order to build new forms of relationships with prospects and customers and to allow a link between the unstructured data and the information contained and controlled within the technology used with CRM.Important alert! A Social CRM strategy can include you own corporate support forums, blogs and self service community - the most important thing to realise about Social Networks is that the conversation belongs to the customer and you are joining in the conversation.
Its the usage not the sheer number of users that make the site useful.Source: http://reface.me/news/updated-world-map-of-social-networks-2011/We must not get hypnotised by the sites with the most users, we have to think about the relevance to our business.Are these people talking about subjects relevant to my business?Are these people talking about my business?Are these people in a geography that I can serve?We have to be active participants in the place where the conversation is taking place.
Sage CRM for Twitter enables users to post or reply directly to a tweet fromwithin Sage CRM. Users can view twitter feeds for specific companies and peopleand can then save the contents of the tweet to a note within Sage CRM. Notonly is Twitter a great way to find people talking about things you’re interested in(keyword searches) or to find people who live nearby (geographic searches), butit can also be used to track brand names, user mentions and company mentions,all from within Sage CRM.Twitter accounts may be set up for marketing campaigns in Sage CRM, andtweets may be viewed and posted from within the Sage CRM marketing area forseamless social media campaign management. This enables users to effectivelyengage and connect with customers and prospects directly through Sage CRM.
The interactive dashboard can contain Feeds from Twitter, from YoutubeAPI allows custom gadgets to display any information e.g. Youtube Insights data.
Klout.com is only one example of ‘influence’ measuremente.g.Peerindex.com is anotherWhat Authority do the people have?What is their influence? How many people will they tel? And how likely is their experience to be retweeted?
the conversation belongs to the customer and you are joining in the conversationAnd when we thing about commonly used social networking sites is the sheer number of them:
