Social CRM, Social Media, Enterprise 2.0 – How about Social Business?
Social Media has been around for some time, and lots of businesses are using it both for internal and external collaboration with employees, customers, and partners. They are realizing, little by little, that without a strategy the usefulness of the channels and tools is limited, and the calculated ROI are slowly disappearing as the cracks begin to show around the foundation of the business intent. The use of Enterprise 2.0 for internal social strategies and Social CRM for external social work has shown promise – but stops short of being a complete business solution. The idea of integrating Enterprise 2.0, Social CRM, and Social Media into a coherent Social Business strategy is slowly taking hold in corporations around the world – but can it deliver?

Two schools of thoughts are fighting these days around the following issue: how customers should be treated in social media space. Can customer service/support interactions be automated or the whole nature of social media channels dictates one-on-one personal conversation-based communications.
Social CRM for B2B companies – it’s not that simple!
I’ve seen way too many posts lately about why B2B companies should be using Social CRM ( SCRM, social media, social networking) channels for their businesses. Most of them did not make ANY sense to me.
