Yesterday I saw someone post this question to a group and it got me thinking. I would bet there are few companies that are 100% satisfied with their social media ROI.

The first one in Lancaster, PA where I ran my business before I moved to Texas and then the next one was the Fort Worth Chamber where I live now.
