At Sprout Social, we get to talk to some of the most talented community managers day in and day out. And as you know, the real wisdom and value lies in sharing experiences and tangible ideas. Last week we kicked off a series called the Community Manager Field Guide highlighting some of the best community managers out there, as well as their tips and suggested resources.
