How Prospur CRM's social media integration will work for your business

As a business, you want to tap into this vast pool of possible customers.

Your customers’ social media activity is no longer a blind spot for your marketing and sales teams. With a social media CRM system, you can now manage any inquiry sent via Twitter or Facebook just as you would for a phone or an email.

In addition, your social media channels connect directly with your CRM system giving you more control over your customers’ visits and behavior.

Statistics prove the importance of social media for your Small Business:

  • There are about 4.48 billion social media users worldwide, equating to 48% of the global population.
  • An average of 2.5 hours is spent daily by each individual on the internet.
  • The average number of social media accounts is 8.8 per person.
  • There was a 7.3% increase in the number of internet users worldwide in January 2021.

With social media integration, you can act faster, anticipate your customers’ needs, and respond better. It also helps you make better decisions for charting out a roadmap for your product, marketing, and sales strategies.

How Does Social Media Integration Work?

Connecting social media with your CRM system adds another dimension to how you think of and handle customers. Your marketing team spends a considerable amount of time and money in planning and executing a social media strategy.

People who engage with your posts or tweets share, comment, and retweet you. They are sharing, complaining, or recommending you. But they may not be getting the answers they want, and you may not be able to track the engagement (if any) through a central system.

A social media-rich CRM system works in the following ways:

  1. It gives you a larger view of your company’s reach through all the social media channels.
  2. You get a granular view of each customer’s engagement and interaction with your support team.
  3. You can keep track of a customer’s questions even if they change the social media channel they used to connect with you.
  4. Customers get the freedom to choose whichever social media channel they want to connect with you. You no longer have to force them to choose one.
  5. You can track and manage all inquiries using familiar tools, dashboards, and metrics on the CRM platform.
  6. It helps lower the cost of serving and delighting each customer significantly.

Adding these dimensions to your marketing and sales efforts can be a game-changer for a small or medium business. It puts you ahead of the competition early on.

When others are grappling with managing all the moving parts of their business, you will be offering your clients a unique customer experience with every interaction – at a lower cost per client.
