The Eight Questions To Ask Before You Buy A CRM Solution | Forrester Blogs.
During the last five years, the customer relationship management (CRM) solutions market has experienced considerable growth and turmoil. Quickly evolving technologies like multichannel digital customer engagement, real-time decisioning, social computing, business process management (BPM), and mobility are creating new ways for organizations to deliver differentiated customer experiences. There has been a rapid rise in the popularity of solutions deployed through the cloud, and vendors have acquired direct competitors or snapped up companies in adjacent spaces to broaden their customer management offerings.

See on Scoop.it – Social Selling: with a focus on building business relationships online
When I hear the reasons for not wanting sales people to be engaged with social media I am quickly reminded that not all sales leaders understand why social selling is essential in B2B business, and that it indeed is a “client executive interfacing activity.” However, without the integration of a social media strategy with sound sales process, methodology and approach, they are right – it is a waste of time.
