My tire dealer (Western Tire) and my local car dealer are using social media in an innovative way – different from what people may think and very successful.
First what they didn’t do:
- No fan page
- No online community
- They have both no blog or any major “presence”
Now what they do:
- The majority of their team mates have an account in Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace
- They asked their clients if they are in the social web and if they may connect. In order to make it easy for all parties to exchange the sites and networks they asked them to share their Xeesm (a little free tool to keep all your social sites).

#SCRM Empower sales teams 2 strengthen relationships, understand needs, collaborate across company boundaries 4 predictable mutual success.
A lot has been said about Social CRM and what it may be. For some it is just a strategy, for other just some social features to traditional CRM. For some it is about business rules, workflow, processes with social characteristics and for some it is just a reaction to market changes, and then it includes attributes like trust building and loyalty. Do we need yet another definition?
Well, once we decided to build a S Y S T E M to S U P P O R T any of the strategies, philosophies or processes and more importantly include the social and collaborative aspect, we need to make some sound considerations:

In one of the Social CRM experts groups fellow group member Michael Brito asked some very interesting questions. I thought it’s worth sharing with all Xeesmer.
Let me share some real world experience (We / our partners, do about one Social CRM implementation per week right now):
1. Who owns social CRM (It’s easy for all of us to say everyone does, but that’s not reality quite yet; even for basic social media marketing)
