Social media is the fastest growing communication channel today. With the continued
growth in smart phone adoption, end-users are incorporating social media into their
every-day lives and online channels are becoming the primary way for customers to voice
their support or disgruntlement.. Customers expect customized communication via social
channels and businesses are struggling to manage and measure their social media
activities. Businesses that are able to tap into social media messages and sentiment,
regardless of volume, and efficiently manage this environment, are enjoying stronger
customer loyalty and more positive referrals.
Listen & Act enables businesses to quickly sift through messages, view levels of
influence and seamlessly utilize engagement tools, such as surveys and communities, to
create unique experiences for their customers based on inquiries and preferences. This
provides deep benefits to both the customer and the business. Customers feel more valued
due to the high quality of engagement, while businesses gather deeper insights to enrich
existing CRM data.
Combining insights gained from new customer touch points, such as social media,
enables businesses to act faster, have more targeted offers, accelerate problem resolution
and ultimately reap the benefits of greater share of wallet from happier customers.
"Listening - through both solicited feedback, and social media monitoring - gives
critical insights into consumer sentiment and behavior," said Jim Davies

Gartner. "Businesses that can effectively leverage such insights to attract, retain and
grow customers will have an advantage, with benefits increasing as the 'voice of the
customer' becomes one with business culture and processes."
