One of the requirements of a true Social CRM system is the ability to do social lead generation. While traditional lead generation can take a variety of forms (marketing campaigns, purchasing lists, etc.), Social lead generation involves utilizing social networks to get better targeted leads. This can take many forms:
- Targeted Facebook ads
- Searching for users who trend in certain relevant Twitter hashtags to gain profile data
- Automatically finding discussion forum threads that match specific keyword criteria
