Organization based, not industry based
The Solution Scenarios provide a conversation framework to have an opening discussion and quickly identify customer needs.
How can I have a positive impact on my company?
How can we ensure the success of our marketing efforts and lessen risk?
How can I best educate myself on my prospect before we meet?
How can I resolve customer issues and bolster our brand?
The new solutions include a set of audience-specific BDM conversations for some of the key enterprise social scenarios including:
HR Onboarding
Product Innovation
Real-Time Marketing
Customer Service
This scenario-based approach is designed to foster non-IT 'business leader' customer conversations, engagement, deal shaping, and closing activities.
The Sales Execution Kit includes resources that you can use to qualify and accelerate opportunities throughout the sales cycle

Define Your Vision & Priorities: Clarity of vision is critical to success. Top executives and employees must come together to define the purpose of Enterprise Social to ensure widespread buy in.

Identify Business Outcomes: Identify areas where Enterprise Social can drive specific business goals, together with people in each for high-priority departments (for example, marketing or sales).
[click]
Plan to Work Social: Formulate a plan with people like Community Managers and Power Users who will play a critical role in the success of your launch. Also, executive sponsorship is crucial in achieving adoption – if the top ranks don’t use it, it will not be perceived as an approved solution.

Launch and Drive Success: As with all change management, proper communication about the purpose and what to expect goes a long way.

Evaluate, Adapt, & Iterate: Keep a pulse on your company and iterate to improve the use cases for Enterprise Social.

The Enterprise Social Scenario demos align to the Enterprise Social business scenarios, and are a series of 'click through' demos that illustrate how each of the solution scenarios could potentially be implemented. These demos are part of the sales content and are intended to be used as a follow-on activity for each of the short solution scenario animations to provide a visual illustration of how this type of solution could be realized. The demos are driven from the perspective of multiple roles and devices for each of the various related departments and show how these individuals would leverage a particular scenario (e.g. - HR resources, Marketing Resources, etc.).
