ABSTRACT
The current business orientation has changed from product-oriented, to customer-oriented. Customers are
very active in assessing various businesses that exist through various ways, including through social media.
Seeing this phenomenon many companies have begun using social media to reach their customers. A
connection with customers through social media must be supported by Social CRM. Social CRM is a business
strategy to engage customers through social media by building their trust and loyalty. There is one company
in Indonesia that is good in the application of CRM, namely PT. Gojek Indonesia. Gojek is a startup company
which became the first startup in Indonesia that holds decacorn status. Gojek has made Twitter as a platform
for social CRM. Application of social CRM is not that easy. Customers will be free to criticize and vent their
emotions through social media. In this case, writers are interesting to find out the factors that are the strength
of Gojek in carrying out Social CRM activities through social media Twitter. This research uses factor
analysis techniques. The population used in this study are @GojekIndonesia’s Twitter followers. The results
showed that there are 2 new components that make up social CRM at PT. Gojek Indonesia. The first factor
is the "customer hearing" which represents the factors of listening, embracing, greetings and responses. The
second factor is "Serving Customer" which represents supporting, energizing and talking factors. Based on
the loading factors, the main strength of PT. Gojek Indonesia in applying social CRM, is "Greetings". This
shows that PT. Gojek Indonesia gives good Greetings to customers to make customers comfortable in
communicating through social media. Then the other main strength of PT. Gojek Indonesia is "Supporting".
This shows that PT. Gojek Indonesia routinely provides services to customers through social media so that
they can be good in social CRM.
