LinkedIn, a social networking contact website is demonstrating how important customers are to them, as they’ve recently hired a Customer Evangelist. This role is appearing in many companies, I had such a role at Hitachi. Mario Sundar, a well-known Marketing blogger and thought leader has accepted the role.

    It says LinkinIn instead of LinkedIn :(

    Villager,
    Looks like you've got it. I think for any company -- from Fortune 500 to startups, the customer is paramount. Here's another blog that'd make a lot of sense to you: http://customerevangelists.typepad.com/.

    BTW, nice pic :)
  • I'm relatively new to both blogging and LinkedIn Network. However, I'm experienced in corporate America ... and it is always a good thing when a company recognizes the importance of the CUSTOMER in their efforts. Good luck Mario!

    peace,
    Villager
