Techopedia explains Social Customer Relationship Management (Social CRM)
Social CRM is still more of a buzzword than a concrete concept. It is seen as the next step in the evolution of social media marketing where, instead of simply focusing on sales, a company can engage the customer and get direct feedback that will improve the business. As customers see their feedback implemented by the company, they will feel more strongly about the product or service, thus becoming brand advocates for the company.
