How You Should Invest in 2011: Scalable Programs
1:1 dialog with customers does not scale –you can not hire enough community managers to keep up with the growing number of customer voices, as a result, we recommend that corporations focus on the following six areas of investment for 2011

1. Hire correctly (Gurus/Ninjas/Samurai need not apply) and properly train for scale
2. Integrate social media on the corporate website, then aggregate and curate
3. Invest in advertising that leverages social graph
4. Build an unpaid army of advocates –get your customers to do the work for you
5. Invest in scalable systems like SCRM and SMMS
6. Learn to measure using the ROI Pyramid
