7. Social CRM = Social Business
• Sixty-six percent of executives believe that social applications for business represent a fundamental shift in how
work will get done and how companies will engage with customers;
• Fifty-three percent of executives believe they must adopt Social Business or risk falling behind;
• Sixty-two percent of executives cite the potential to achieve ―better customer loyalty and service levels‖ and 57
percent anticipate ―increased revenue or sales‖ as a result of implementing a Social Business strategy;
• Sixty-two percent of all respondents think that businesses need to leverage social software inside and outside their
organizations in order to remain competitive;
• Online communities are an important source of information for making purchase decisions, especially for millennials.
Fifty-four percent of millennials said that they are more likely to rely on and make purchase decisions from
information shared via personal contacts in online communities versus 33 percent more likely to use information
from ―official‖ company sources;
• Eighty-three percent of executives leverage at least one social network for work use.
“There is one absolute about social CRM: It will be mandatory — not optional — for the
majority of organizations.”
- the Gartner Group, 2011

8. Social CRM—The here and now
―Social CRM is our future – and it's our near future. The time to start planning is
now.‖
Holly Ross, NTEN blog, April 2011
―I admit it--I'm totally drinking the social CRM Kool-Aid‖
Maggie McGary, Mizz Information blog, April 2011
―Conversations online happen with or without us. We would be doing a
disservice to ourselves and our communities if we did not take part as experts
in our field.‖
Maya Linson – National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems
The goal is not to be good at social media, but to
be good at business because of social media.
Jay Baer

10. Major themes
• Social CRM is DYNAMIC. The technology to
support it needs to be equally so.
• In the best scenario, technology is INVISIBLE,
playing a supporting role.
• Social CRM is 100% possible with available
technology and a little imagination, provided the
COMMITMENT is there, top to bottom.

A few themes popped out at us over the course of conversations with
association colleagues.
11. Current state of Social CRM
• General consensus: 90+% is
possible, but we’re
accomplishing no where near
that.
• The data is hard to process, and
without seeing how it will all
come together, Social CRM is a
hard sell. No buy-in, no SCRM.
• Not working smart—spraying
and praying.
• Spending too much in the wrong
areas.
• Focusing on too many small
pieces but not the big picture.

We asked how much of what we’d discussed is possible without making major
changes to their current technology platforms.
