How to Get Social with SugarCRM

Welcome to 2020! While it may seem like we should be teleporting and driving flying cars by now –and sadly, we’re not– some serious changes have occurred that we need to pay attention to.

Currently, one of the biggest trends in business is customer experience. How do your customers feel about your brand?

Did you know that 80 percent of consumers now use social platforms to engage with brands? When utilized properly, the reach social media has is faster than the traditional telephone because many of our prospects and customers are already spending their time on these platforms.

Some companies want to be more social, even though they run all their customer support and sales through their CRM. If you’re in this situation, the solution is simple: Get social with CRM!

You can turn your CRM into a complete, engaging Social CRM system, or you can add a few social-based applications and integrations.

Here are some ways to get social and stay connected with your customers via SugarCRM:
