As business marketers, we feel obligated to participate in social media. But beyond the basics of setting up a Facebook page and Twitter profile, marketers are still finding ways to measure results.

a more quantifiable answer. The best way to accomplish this is by demonstrating the value social media brings to lead generation. Not just lead quantity (volume), but lead quality (scoring) and
conversion rates. But tracking business leads from social media is neither straightforward nor easy. It requires a serious investment in time and/or technology to get it right.
