Earlier this year we saw the global launch of Dynamics CRM 2011, and according to key
analysts it’s already proving to be a world beater. In this session we’ll cover the key strengths
of CRM 2011, both on premise and online, as well as take a brief look into the future.
The session will also cover a deeper dive into the use of social media in the sales and
marketing arena. We’ll demonstrate how Dynamics CRM 2011 can help you create a central
view of social media activity as it relates to your business and how Dynamics CRM can help
extend your view of your customers and prospects.

23. Social Media and CRM
But: It’s Just People
People talk, just as they breath, eat and sleep
People also listen
An extension of the dinner table conversation
Same rules
Same behaviour
24. Social Media and CRM
Social CRM
Whether organizations like it or not, customers are
going to utilize social technologies to participate in
conversations, post thoughts and observations or
complain about your products and services
You can choose to listen and engage customers
through these new channels or ignore them
Conventional wisdom says that the former is the
preferred option

OMG! A Mention!
What do you do when your Social CRM Tool detects a

Tone
Each network has its own tone
Unwritten rules and expectations
E.g. Twitter: don’t auto-tweet other feeds
Don’t auto-DM new followers
30. Social Media and CRM
Detecting Tone
Lurk before wading in
This means being engaged and online BEFORE an
event
Example: BP Gulf oil spill PR
Result: @BPGlobalPR
34. Social Media and CRM
Viral Effect
AKA “Network Effect”
I tell 10 friends, who each tell 10 more.
Inverse law: the harder you try, the less likely it will
happen.
Due to bullshit detection?
36. Social Media and CRM
Reaction
Don’t over react.
What would you do if someone made an incorrect
statement at a dinner party?
What if they were angry?
What about if someone was obviously an idiot?
