Corporate reputations and brands are entrusted to social media community managers daily. Hiring a social media specialist who not only understands the culture of your organization but also understands your company's place within the broader global context is quickly becoming a business imperative. Consider these key community manager characteristics when hiring a social media resource.

Marketing automation can serve as a foundational engine of your sales process by facilitating lead capture, lead nurturing, and lead grading. Don't forget to review our other series installments on buyer personas and the need for a Chief Customer Officer.
