creative ''social software'' project

Our company sells a web-based customer management (CRM) solution. Everytime we sell this solution to a new client, they load all their customer data into the system. This is a great opportunity for viral marketing. We could grow our business much faster if all the contacts that were loaded into our system automatically got an email promoting our product. Companies like [login to view URL] and [login to view URL] have a very powerful viral marketing approach that works with individuals. Our customers are businesses. They will be very resistant to sending an email that promotes our product to their own customer list. We need to give businesses a GREAT reason to promote our solution to their own customers. Here are examples of great reasons: 1) it somehow makes it easier for them to sell their own products to their customers 2) it helps them better understand their own customers 3) it allows the customer to get much better customer service, or other clear benefit For this viral approach to work, the offer must be something very attractive to both the company sending the viral email and the client receiving the viral email.
