Social CRM – Myths Busted
MYTH N°1: SOCIAL CRM IS NOT HERE TO STAY Social CRM is the answer to changing consumer behavior
Advanced tools with customer data that can be increasingly exploited
40% increase in market value compared with 2010 and more than 20% extra in 2012 (Gartner)
40% rise in budget spending
MYTH N°2: SOCIAL CRM = FACEBOOK + TWITTER + (GOOGLE+) These social media are not the only scope for action
First prioritize Social CRM integration on the corporate site of the company
“Fish where the fish are”: casting a wider net on social media, where most of the brand consumers are brought together
Extending out to the preferred social media of influencers
MYTH N°3: SOCIAL CRM STOPS AT CUSTOMER SERVICE It impacts on all departments of a company
Priority departments at present: Marketing, Sales and Customer Services
Once a certain level of maturity has been reached there is internal collaboration and co-creation.
MYTH N°4: ONLY THE COMMUNITY MANAGER CAN BE TASKED WITH SOCIAL CRM Maturity analysis of the organization is needed to determine team requirements, i.e. composition
and training
According to a survey conducted by IBM , nearly 80 % of companies
have a social media presence and most use social media for Customer
Relationship Management purposes.

Social Media Maturity scale of a Company
Each company can have its own Social CRM policy relevant to its internal characteristics (organization, culture,
resources, targets, global Communications and Marketing strategy, etc.) and external ones (expectations,
conversations, support, etc.). There is no such thing as a single practice that can be applied to all companies
and no set rules in terms of organization

Companies adopting to Social CRM should remember…
Be original:
Social media customers are often looking for an “authentic” dialogue, as opposed to the scripted
dialogue delivered by contact center agents. So companies will need to adapt their conversations
with customers so that they are more in line with the general tone of an exchange.
Be committed:
Opting for social CRM is without a doubt a long-term commitment as Social CRM should be a daily
and ongoing practice. It is not a series of campaigns that need to be implemented
Be flexible:
Companies need to find the right balance between steadfastness and speed - a balance which is at
odds with firmly entrenched procedures. A flexible approach to social support is essential
Be simple:
In “conventional” customer support processes, a certain number of validation steps are necessary.
With social media, it is vital not to end up with too many steps as this may result in “loss” of a
customer who is expecting greater reactivity than in traditional media
Evaluating the effectiveness of Social CRM - ROI
• Return on Investment or Return on Objective (ROO) is still very much
dependent on initial strategy. The benefits of Social CRM cannot be
measured uniquely in financial terms (transactional marketing), as the
notion of ROI would suggest.
• Risk Of Non Investment (RONI) - The effectiveness of Social CRM is
measured firstly in terms of the risks incurred by companies who decide not
to use it. Deciding not to adopt a Social CRM approach means refusing to
align with a long-term sociological evolution in consumer behaviors.
• Social Media strategy thrives on potential business opportunities that could
bring fundamental changes to the customer/brand relationship and
increase profitability in the long term.

Role Metrics Specific Data
Return on objective (ROO) and key performance
indicators (KPI) to measure
“SOCIAL ROI”
• The Return on Objective helps companies that are genuinely customer focused to improve their operational evaluation of the quantitative and qualitative impact of Social CRM
• Instead of measuring the success of a campaign by focusing only on additional profit generated, ROO allows companies to better anticipate the overall Social CRM gains based on the conversational and relational impact as well
• Four big strategic objective categories (brand perception, effectiveness of marketing, revenue growth, savings)
KPI # 1 - Strategic objectives on brand perception
Brand equity
- Loyalty
- Reputation
- Perceived quality
- Brand associations
- Other assets
Customer experience and satisfaction
- Satisfaction rates compared with other
contact channels
- Likeliness to recommend (Net Promoter Score)
Churn rate
Social CRM is about improving the reputation of a brand, its association with
customer values, buying intentions linked to this, etc.
Examples of KPI:
Identifying with the brand
- Volume of online posts and print-offs
- Developments before, during and after Social
-CRM campaigns
Share of Voice
- Number of times the brand is mentioned on
social media
- Comparison with competitors
Propensity to buy
Brand website audiences, the number of links to these sites and how they are
indexed by search engines can all benefit from the Social CRM approach.
Examples of KPI:
SEO
- Development of referencing on search engines
- Volume of traffic on a company website
- Volume of traffic on social media
Scope and development of conversations
- Number (and growth in the number) of followers, fans, subscribers
- Number of connections on third-party software
- Number of interactions
- Audience participation
Number of clicks, shared threads, mentions, responses, assessments, comments,
re-tweets, votes, downloads, participants, favorites
KPI # 2 - Strategic objectives on marketing effectiveness
Many brands have enjoyed fruits of social media activities over the period of
time in terms of revenue.
Examples of KPI:
Lead generated by Social Media:
- Wider audience generated
- Number of contact forms completed on website
- Number of contact forms completed directly on social media
Impact of Social media on online and offline sales:
- Turnover generated through social media
- Rate of differentiated transformation in social media monitoring
- Retention rate compared with other channels
KPI # 3 - Strategic objectives on revenue growth
KPI # 4 - Strategic objectives in terms of savings
This is not the only criterion that allows a “social ROI” to be calculated, but it still
needs to be taken into consideration. It can take the form of either an increase in
sales or a savings on marketing costs.
Examples of KPI:
Cost per lead compared with other
channels
Cost of customer data acquisition
compared with other channels
Creation of community
Content: number of notes and assessments (User Generated Content) - forums, wikis number of issues resolved by customer support services number of issues resolved by the community
Savings on customer support services:
- resolution rate
- cost of using social media support
services compared with other Channels
- rate of contact avoidance on other
more costly channels (e.g., telephone)
Savings on marketing surveys:
- reduced survey, interview and small
group costs
- reduced costs for focus groups and
mystery shoppers, thanks mainly to
the availability of customer data
from social media
