Social media in sales today
Unfortunately, there aren’t many existing tools to engage with buyers in an effective and authentic manner across platforms, all while staying compliant, building a personal brand, and driving revenue for your organization.
In today’s dynamic sales landscape, buyers want to hear from and connect with trusted advisors, not companies, on social media; in tune with this; Seismic has acquired Grapevine6, a social and digital sales engagement platform.
A new way to engage with buyers on social media
As a result of the acquisition, Seismic is launching a new integrated offering called Seismic LiveSocial, a social engagement solution for sales and client-facing teams. Seismic LiveSocial leverages the AI engine built by Grapevine6 to help sellers become trusted advisors by authentically engaging with their prospects and clients across the social media landscape.
With Seismic LiveSocial, sales teams can share timely, reputable, and compliant content from over 11,000 third-party publishers across six different languages, targeting the right buyers across multiple social platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Additionally, brand leaders can measure the ROI of their social engagement strategy.
