Social CRM by Social Inc. Crm In 1 Day 2009Sonja Loth
Social CRM is a process to monitor, engage, and manage conversations and relationships with existing and prospective customers across digital channels and social media. It allows companies to gain insights from customer conversations, engage with customers, and integrate social data into CRM systems. As communication has shifted to social media, CRM must also shift to focus on networks of relationships rather than just one-to-one interactions. Social CRM tools can help companies monitor buzz, conversations, and sentiment; engage by interacting with customers and influencers; and manage relationships through social customer service and integrating social data into CRM platforms.
The need to develop a clearly defined MOT is emerging as a key competitive advantage for marketers wanting to gain strong customer loyalty and a clear point of difference in the marketplace by converting customers to advocates for the brand. With the advent of the web and the shift of control from the marketer and retailer to the consumer, this need to clearly map out and manage the entire customer relationship at all touch-points has become paramount.

Making Demand Generation work in the Construction industryLedger Bennett DGA
In the UK today, around 93% of builders are recognised as heavy Internet users, and 70% of them buy products online. Likewise, construction industry customers are increasingly engaging in social media as a source of information, and more importantly, recommendation.
Without strong relationships with your merchant base, it's unlikely that you're getting your marketing messages through to the people paying money for products. This is particularly problematic within the construction industry, as the products tradesmen use are a direct reflection of their workmanship, which they value above most other things. When customer satisfaction is fundamental to word-of-mouth recommendation, they need to know and trust the products and brands they’re using. You can make this happen.
'Making Demand Generation work in the Construction industry' is a helpful guide that looks to connect brand owners, merchants and their customers using realistic Demand Generation strategies that professionals can leverage to their advantage.
The document provides advice on using social media marketing effectively and avoiding common pitfalls.

1. Building Brand: The Importance of
A R T I C L E
Presenting a Unified Face
It’s conventional wisdom that branding is important. The top
brands are hard to avoid—their logos, event sponsorships, and
advertising seem to be everywhere you look. And certainly, the
most established brands are household names, with memorable,
appealing attributes that compel many consumers to choose them
over competing products.
But what does branding mean to a real estate firm or home builder—or a homebuyer? Might
homebuyers defer to brand preferences when choosing homes, just like they do when choosing
beverages and clothing? And even more importantly, can home builders and other real estate
businesses develop strong brands without the seven-figure advertising budgets of the big
consumer-goods companies?
The answer lies in a return to the fundamentals of branding. A brand, it is important to remember,
is not simply a name, a jingle, or a logo that the public associates with a company. A brand is the
totality of a customer’s impressions of a firm—an aggregate of every experience, interaction, and
association the consumer has with the company. Likewise, brand strength is not a function of flashy
big-budget advertising. A great slogan or slick marketing campaign might draw prospects to a
company, but if the customer’s experience with the company fails to match the brand expectations
created by the advertising, the customer’s trust will be lost and the brand will instantly lose
credibility. A brand is not just the promise that is made to customer, it’s their entire experience.
This means that every interaction a homebuyer has with your company has the potential to either
add to or detract from the value of your brand. This fact reinforces the critical importance of
carefully orchestrating the entire customer experience from end to end. Home builders simply
cannot afford to leave this to chance—merely hoping that a customer will walk away from their
homebuying experience with the right impression of your firm is not enough.
Buying a house is more than a purchase; it’s a major life event. This is all the more reason to take
care to ensure that every step of the homebuying experience is one that customers enjoy and
remember positively. Purchasing a home is a significant commitment that requires trust in the
home builder and the quality of its products. A strong brand, reaffirmed by a satisfying customer
experience, can go a long way toward establishing the confidence homebuyers need to feel to
make a purchase—or to refer their friends.
This is where customer relationship management (CRM) systems can make a big difference to
strategic-thinking home builders and other real estate businesses. As a centralized repository of
all customer information and interaction history, a CRM system can form the engine that drives a
strategically planned customer experience, which in turn fuels brand strength.
The primary goal of customer relationship management—whether we’re talking about the business
strategy or the software—is simple: to plan, coordinate, and support interactions with customers
to create a consistent, winning customer experience that stretches from the first encounter with
the potential buyer through the entire customer lifecycle. It’s what at Pivotal CRM we call “creating
customers for life.” Let’s look at how this can work, with a particular eye to branding.
Many builders associate branding with the marketing function: promotions, publicity, advertising.
And it’s true: marketing plays an extremely important role in communicating the “promise” that
underlies your brand. Many home builders do extensive advertising—through newspapers and
