Improving the buyer journey
Whether it’s B2B customers doing their homework on a company or B2C consumers keeping up to date with their favorite brands, interactions on social media are woven throughout the sales journey. They should be monitored to nurture leads across all touchpoints. Having all this data in one place saves users from bouncing between multiple platforms, resulting in faster and stronger customer service.
Attributing sales from socials
Customer care and content marketing contribute to converting leads, but it can be difficult to attribute sales to social media. Sprout Social and Salesforce integration makes it much easier and helps build the Customer 360. In turn, marketers can analyze the value of their various touchpoints and design future marketing content in a manner they know consumers respond to.
Gathering and aligning customer insights
From expressing wants and needs to pain points and challenges, social media is a soundboard for many consumers. Companies should be utilizing this to deepen their understanding of their customers. Feeding this data into your Salesforce org helps align and empower marketing, sales, and service teams by giving them greater understanding and confidence when approaching customers.
