Dell’s Key Learnings in Social Media
1. This is a long-term play. No company has cracked the code on ROI measurement. But all results are modest. – Most “campaigns” have at best 1:3 ROI
– Best efforts so far (in China) have 1:10 ROI
2. Listening and engaging with frustrated customers works great– Question remains: is it financially scalable?
3. Listening and engaging to business conversations is a challenge– Customers only talk about IT when they have a problem (“buy it” or “break it”)
– Only techies talk about IT but they will not tolerate hard selling
