Social CRM plays an important role in the next evolution of CRM technology. I’m a firm believer in creating applications that add value to the individual user. While SalesForce (and Sugar) have been creating CRM applications accessible for low cost in a Web browser, the Internet has enabled new modes of sales rep interaction that the old CRM software model doesn’t leverage. We need to bring those into Sugar, exactly as you describe. I want the individual sales rep to want to use Sugar. The ability to easily manage thousands of relationships as provided by Social CRM tools is going to unleash whole new levels of highly personalized and highly relevant commerce. How exactly we see that unfolding is an interesting discussion to pursue in advance of SugarCon. I really liked the points made by Philippe Cases from Spoke about how Social CRM tools enable a single sales rep to proactively manage and nurture thousands of business relationships. I imagine scenarios here where email marketing campaigns are driven off of Tweets, changes in a company’s About Us page trigger customer retention programs, customer conversations are tracked across email/twitter/blog comments/forum posts, and more.
Did you know that 70% of all CRM implementations fail? So, if you want to be part of the successful 30%, where do you start?
