Why CRM should start to think Social? Because we live in a social world… • We are inserted in and surrounded by social communities, • We establish relationships based on conversations, • We struggle to be accepted by other groups, • We share our insights with like-minded peers and friends, • We make decisions based on suggestions from like-minded peers and friends. … and because customers are, more than everything else, PEOPLE “By 2010, more than 60% of Fortune 1.000 companies will have some form of online community deployed for CRM purposes” – Gartner Group 1 © 2009, Fabio Cipriani.
