Emailvision has just released Social CRM for Dummies, a free ebook that will help companies understand the difference between Social CRM and CRM as well as how to leverage social in their CRM efforts.
From the book: Social media and networking have transformed the global economy into something more like a small town marketplace, where community buzz, not marketing buzz, determines whether businesses flourish or fail. Social CRM is a strategic response to this new business environment. With Social CRM:
- The focus is on community and relationship building.
- Via social venues, including Facebook and Twitter, customers own and control the conversation.
- Communications are business-to-consumer but also customer-to-customer and customer-to-prospect.
- Customer collaborate with businesses directly or indirectly to improve products, services, and the customer experience.
- Conversation is less formal and more “real”, moving from brand speak to community speak.
The eBook provides all the information necessary – from building a strategy, choosing the right technology, how to leverage the technology, training your employees, measuring results – all the way to how to avoid common pitfalls.
Full disclosure: I got a pre-release version of the eBook and wrote a recommendation for it. Emailvision has also been a client of DK New Media .
