2011: The Year Social CRM Goes Mainstream


INC. on line presents an interesting look at what's to come in the CRM (customer relationship management) arena in 2011. As we've commented recently, one of the biggest challenge or opportunity for businesses will be how to participate in the social networking phenomenon. 


Most of the business folks we've spoken with have very little understanding of this new world. 



A major focus of Tech.Sell's efforts in the new year will focus on Social CRM and how to gain from this movement. 

The University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management recently held a three-day course called "Managing Customer Engagement Using Social Media and CRM."

Coming Soon to Social CRM - Nimble

Social CRM is a rumbling volcano, that we believe will be a major story and direction enhancement for many companies during 2011.  

How do you tap into the social networking scene? Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and so many more. This is a world where you deal with people talking and updating daily! No more dead data, from some imported mailing list? It's a lot like when e-mail was new and there was a thing called the internet and they had these silly web page things. Remember? 



We've been watching a program called Nimble. It's a whole new approach to CRM from the social networking perspective. Nimble is the brainchild of Jon Ferrara, co-founder of GoldMine. Jon is a true visionary and after taking time to raise his young family and enjoy life, he's back with a new passion - Nimble CRM. 

Here is a quick snapshot of Nimble, there will be more to come in the weeks ahead...

We interviewed GoldMine Premium Edition (PE) 9.0 users to find out the positive impact PE has had on their business.
Join me as I share our findings.
GoldMine Premium Edition has been a hit since it was introduced approximately two years ago. Premium Edition has been a huge difference with its new powerful dashboards, superior Outlook integration, Windows 7 and 64 Bit support, and much more GoldMine Premium 9.0 can serve organizations' CRM needs better than ever.
Additionally, as the year comes to the end, I would like to remind you that now is a great time to finalize your decision - the Section 179 deduction for computers and pre-packaged software is the highest it has ever been and the depreciation option the fastest its ever been ... but it expires on December 31, 2010.
I look forward to showing the benefits of working with Premium Edition as well as answering your questions.
