Tony Zingale of Jive Software recently quoted Social Media benefits as a result of a survey they conducted: The results were pretty staggering. Internally, companies reported a 37% increase in project collaboration and productivity, 30% higher employee satisfaction and a 32% reduction in time to find answer. The most welcomed result might be a 27% reduction in email. Externally, customers reported a 31% increase in customer retention, 34% higher brand awareness, a 27% increase in new customer sales and a 28% decrease in call support volume. (For another view on how companies should use social media, check out Jeremiah Owyang on NBC’s Press:Here, which aired yesterday.)
