Dear community members,
Today’s online customers are empowered like never before. We are dealing with a “New Kind of Customer” who is socially networked, well informed and empowered through ability to engaging with organizations across a range of touch points and enjoying the benefits that come from greater price transparency, increased access to information, and personalized content from their social networks and online communities.
This is a transformational trend that is dramatically changing the way organizations need to approach customer relationships. There is a need to look beyond traditional vendor-determined relationship management to a community-driven engagement management – both before someone becomes your customer and afterwards too. This is both an opportunity and a threat for companies. Ability to rapidly transform will be key to success.
