The Challenge

Take an increasingly competitive and pressurized global market for technology products, add constantly evolving buyer behavior and then factor in social media鈥檚 growing influence on buying decisions. These trends represent remarkable opportunities鈥� provided you have the right tools and insights.

A leading international technology corporation selected 水仙直播 to develop and implement a visionary social selling model to help seize these opportunities 鈥� to better interact with buyers across online channels in order to drive lead-generation. The challenges:

  • Find a truly innovative way to help sales teams identify and establish enduring relationships with a tech-savvy audience.
  • Allow sales teams to interact socially with B2B audiences in more targeted and meaningful ways, and at those crucial early stages in the sales cycle.
  • Measure success in terms of an increase in the number of warm leads generated, and the resulting conversion rates.

Our Approach

For one of the world鈥檚 leading technology corporations, 水仙直播 developed a social program specifically to help sellers identify buyer signals across social media:

  • The program鈥檚 response model combines real-time social monitoring, with predictive analytics and 鈥榗ognitive computing鈥�.
  • Its continued impact relies on a refined and targeted listening model that quickly identifies conversational topics across social channels.
  • This provides a clear and detailed understanding of the target audience 鈥� which means social content addresses their specific business needs.
  • Our social listening experts then built a model to identify, rank and prioritize leads, providing actionable insights for sales teams to follow up.
