9. “Social CRM is a philosophy and a business
strategy, supported by a technology platform,
business rules, workflow, processes and social
characteristics, designed to engage the
customer in a collaborative conversation in
order to provide mutually beneficial value in a
trusted and transparent business environment. It’s
the company’s response to the customer’s
ownership of the conversation.”
10. Social fulfills the promise of CRM
Every dollar invested in CRM = $5.60
CRM jumped from 18 to 8 in CIO priorities
But the relationship was still transactional
Data doesn’t tell the whole story
Doesn’t make customers feel valued

Selling - Used to be – buyers relied on the info you provided. Sellers controlled the information and the process.NOW, Buyers no longer need salespeople to get basic product info – they use Google. AND, they use EACH other with social. Combine that with - they are doing MORE due-diligence due to the economic downturn. And you get very long sales cycles.We are all dealing with a better informed buyer and have had to adapt our sales processes because of this, but have we adapted our technology and the systems we use to put information we can track in the hands of our sales teams.
As executives, our role is to put the tools in place that allow your people to get the most business possible. We need to help our people get their foot in the door. Today we are going to talk about…. Increasing sales with Social CRM and why that should be an important initiative for your organization in the next 12 months.
You can see how the sales funnel works. There’s a lot of activity around awareness…people reading information, downloading whitepapers. All of that activity is happening online – without any help from a salesperson. So that means your website better be ready – we’ll talk more about that in our next session.
Listening to the RIGHT people at the RIGHT companies. Just like at a cocktail party, you don’t just jump in and start shoving your business card under people’s noses…listen to your market. What are the trends? Who are the buyers? How can you be there when they need you?Trigger events – things that happen that drive them to buy.3. Leverage your own social network to make things happen – we won’t discuss today4. Empower sales with tools and knowledge that help them do their job better and win more.
Convergence of CRM with social media. Collaboration – listen and RESPOND. Brings up the question of what types of people in your business should manage Social CRM?
So here we get into WHAT IS social selling. It’s using INTELLIGENCE from social sources to make sales connections.Let’s take a look at what data looks like, vs. intelligence. Intelligence helps you build a more complete profile, better understand business challenges, and exactly WHO is making the decisions, what ISSUES are important to them. Having this information means you have a more meaningful dialogue from the start with your prospects. It becomes a collaborative process vs. a transactional one.This is a screen shot of a tool called InsideView that we use to get info about our customers. So you can see what information is provided here…What is it? News, trends, consumer-generated content (blogs, posts on FB or Twitter), reports, trigger events.AND it works both ways. You want intelligence about your customer, and they want intelligence about YOU. We’ll talk more about how that works in my next presentation.
It’s not just a touchy-feely thing – it can mean increased sales. These gains are summarized in a recent study by CSO Insights (2,000 companies, annual survey) – there is a difference between getting data into the hands of your people (call lists, potential users) and getting Intellegence, trigger points, director level and higher, social news and feeds.
If you don’t have a social CRM tool for your organization, maybe it is time to consider deploying one – for the reason’s we have discussed.

Or maybe you need to improve customer service<CLICK> Red Balloon reduced order processing times to less than 1 hourAnd <CLICK> Loomis is delivering excellence in customer service
Maybe you are looking in getting better visibility into your overall company performance<CLICK> just like Caplin Systems who tripled their number of web leads and increased overall visibility into their company performanceOr maybe you need to reduce some of your operating costs<CLICK> like Tenzing Health who save on the bottom line by reducing costs and information processing timeOr <CLICK> Healthscreen who has saved thousands by integrating sales and back office operations.

That the Internet, along with Social, Mobile and Cloud Computing, is fundamentally changing how people interact with their customers, and ultimately the nature of CRM.
That customers are demanding Open vendors; vendors that collaborate with them on long term solutions. By creating an Open platform and Open ecosystem we empower our customers and partners to control their own destiny, building trust, and ultimately growing our business.Integrate with productivity tools like email and presentation apps. Integrate with social mediaDeploy on your chosen platform
Always interesting to look at these type of statistics, but let’s bring it back to the basics. A study conducted by the business school at the University of North Carolina found this eye-popping statistic:92% of the people you want to build a relationships with will not take a cold call or look at a cold emailSo what are you to do? Go with that 8% hit rate and start dialing? That is not the answer.
This is where InsideView comes in. Their sole purpose in life, to create intelligence out of all this. Intelligence that will allow you to be more productive and more competitive. Intelligence that will allow you to find that right person, with that right message, and at that right time.
Right person – what do you have in common? Who is the decision-maker? Take advantage of connections across networks.Right message – what are their pains, their needs, their goals? Right time – what are the triggers that are happening that can cause them to raise their hands and be ready to buy?
InsideView is about productivity and about winning. It’s about getting your salespeople better prepared to win 100% of their deals. And, spending more time winning and less time researching.Salespeople LOVE InsideView. One customer said: “my wife is pregnant, and I love InsideView so much, I’d name my baby InsideView if my wife would let me”. CRM Adoption skyrockets – as does CRM ROI.

Community – are your customers, partners, and prospects active on social media? Research! If not, don’t sweat it.Culture – it requires a different way of thinking in the organization. Some people will get it, some will not. It’s a culture of sharing and openness, collaboration. A flat, not top-down way of communicating.If you have tools in place that allow you to listen to social networks, engage with a social customer, and aggregate that data in a CRM your business can operate in the social CRM realm.
