21. Speak their language
• Build a business case for Social CRM, focusing on
tangible metrics (sales, retention, ARPU etc).
• What’s the minimal viable product? I.e. how can we
test this without incurring huge expense?
• What Social CRM benefit carry most weight internally?
Focus on those if necessary.

23. Do what feels right, and ask your customers
• If you have suitable internal committees, use them.
• Many large brands will have committees and councils (or
external expertise) focused on the best interests of the
customer.
• Whenever introducing any new kind of Social CRM, be
transparent, explain the benefits to the customers and
invite feedback.

25. Start small
• Avoid large scale deployment for as long as possible;
get passionate technical stakeholders on board and
get them talking to each other.
• Map out the various data inputs and outputs, and then
join-up whatever will be most interesting or beneficial.
• Prototype in safe environments, using old data if
necessary.

34. Providing security, and working around barriers
“AXP will not provide Foursquare or Facebook access to your
AXP account number or to any of your other PII. Instead, AXP
will create a unique identifier (“UID”) that does not contain
your AXP account number, which §will serve to identify you to
Foursquare and/or Facebook to facilitate your participation in
the Program”
