Today’s customers expect more than outstanding service; they want engagement with companies on social media. Choosing a social CRM system that tracks and simplifies the process of interacting with customers on social media is the ideal solution. Zoho partners with companies like ours to offer their CRM that can integrate with social media and streamline customer interactions.
What is Social CRM?
Social customer relationship management connects a company’s customer database to their Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and other social media channels. It serves many functions, including marketing sales and service.
Zoho is a social CRM platform. Zoho integrates with social media channels to help track customer interactions. It stores information for future conversations that deepen customer relationships. And Zoho partners can help a business customize notifications to specific personnel when customers engage on social media.
Why Your Business Needs Social CRM
Consider social CRM software as a listener to online conversations about your business that don’t require valuable time from personnel. Social CRM like Zoho saves resources. When Zoho “hears” a social media interaction and alerts someone to respond, you gain an opportunity to impress your customer with a timely response.
Some people prefer to interact with social media channels, and social CRM ensures your business isn’t missing important conversations about your brand. It provides a way to build or improve your brand image. In the unfortunate circumstance of a negative post or comment, social CRM allows a quick response. The result is a public message that your business is committed to customer satisfaction. In addition, a circumstance with potentially negative consequences can be turned into a positive one.
Another benefit of social CRM is using it to reward loyal customers publicly or share a positive comment to a broad audience. In these instances, social CRM furthers your brand and encourages loyalty. Brand management on social media is vital for businesses, and as a result social CRM serves this function.
Social CRM grows revenue when used in conjunction with marketing activities. With Zoho, a business can create an email campaign that sends a coordinating message on social media. After that, recorded responses can lead to follow-up. With that, the potential for new sales increases.

If your business has social media profiles across Facebook and Twitter for several products or services, Zoho CRM also makes it easier to manage them. As a result, you can set up all the social media profiles under one tab, and Zoho synchronizes all the profiles and settings in real time.
