Making better business decisions with social media analytics
Many times throughout the day we wish there were an easier way to finish something. When it comes to business analysis and marketing tools there are many different ways to simplify and automate tasks that seem to be tedious and repetitive.
Here are four analytic tools that make life easier:
1. Cloudwork
Cloudwork is the electronic pathway to bridge business apps and social media in the cloud. Businesses love cloud apps and according to Cloudwork, over 40% use them, but apps don’t “talk” to each other. This can result in data getting disconnected and forcing you to do tedious tasks, like logging in to multiple apps, copying/pasting information, and exporting files; with Cloudwork, you can automate these tasks.
Just log in to Cloudwork, select the apps you use, authorize these apps, and then manage them from the dashboard with no technical know-how needed. The extensive list of app integrations can be found here, and just below that list you can see upcoming integrations and a place to suggest new ones.
2. Fliptop
Fliptop connects the dots between email addresses you have for Leads and Contacts, and their social media accounts. Once installed, Fliptop automatically starts looking up all the lead, contact and opportunity data in your Salesforce system and matching Twitter and Facebook profiles. Fliptop uses data science to help you filter out low-probability leads and prioritize the rest.
The platform combines external data and data from your CRM and marketing systems to create a scored profile report. This not only generates more sales, but it helps you close sales as well.
3. Linksy
Linksy helps you get more impressions by using messages and your friends’ social networks. By enlisting your friends to share your message you will reach a larger audience. To do this, type your message in to your email program, Linksy will then prompt you to fill out the message you want your friends, family, co-workers, or followers to share on social media sites.
When your selected audience receives the email, they will be promoted to share it on their networks. All they will need to do is enter their log in information. You can share across Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+. You can also view stats for your sharing. View a real-time stream that shows who clicked through and where shares originate.
4. Agorapulse
Agorapulse turns you in to your very own private social media guru by keeping you in-the-know about your Facebook activity.
