  1. Excellent webinar. Would love to get Dr. Petouhoff’s deck. Also wonder abut the market demand for or potential payoff of adding click-to-talk capability for voice communications between customers on social networks and mobile informal customer care agents, such as between prospective customers on Web 2.0 social networks and mobile sales associates or mobile enthusiasts.

    Hi Alan and Martina,
    I really appreciate your comments! I’ve been researching the affect of social media on customer service for the last several months. Its been fascinating to see the quick and dramatic changes that companies that have the courage to deploy it experience. It’s an exciting time to be in corporate america and watch it change before our very eyes. I think Parature is handling the ppt.

    Love to hear from you!
