The world of sales is rapidly evolving with the advent of social insights, a concept revolutionized by Cloudlead and its visionary Founder, Noman Siddiq. As a pioneer in the realm of outbound sales, Cloudlead is empowering businesses with actionable intelligence derived from users’ social media accounts, essentially transforming the way companies approach customer engagement and the sales process.
Social insights, as defined by Cloudlead, refer to valuable information gathered through social listening and analytics tools or human researchers. This information can range from a user’s personal preferences, their latest activity, or a company’s updates. In the context of outbound sales, this data serves as a potent tool to personalize email outreach, customize pitches across channels, and even enhance cold-calling campaigns and social selling.
“Social insights allow businesses to connect with leads on a deeper level and have smarter conversations,” says Noman Siddiq. “They provide a clear understanding of prospects, allowing sales teams to tailor their approach based on where the prospect is in the buying cycle.”
Cloudlead identifies two broad categories of social insights – generic and specific. Generic data points, like social URLs, last activity date, interests, education, and more, are valuable to cold outreach irrespective of the business model. On the other hand, specific data points, such as quotes from a lead’s article, comments on specific posts, awards received, and more, can serve as excellent ice-breakers, helping identify if a lead might be interested in a business’s product or service.
Tracking these social insights, as advised by Siddiq, not only helps businesses connect with people in their target market but also allows them to understand what’s important to their prospects. This understanding is instrumental in managing customer expectations and providing services tailored to their needs.
Despite the availability of social listening tools like Google Alerts and Brand24, which monitor brand mentions and keyword-based information, a gap exists in extracting all this data in one go. This is where Cloudlead steps in, offering data enrichment services that provide a comprehensive view of all necessary social insights.
“Social media is a treasure trove of information about prospects. It reveals their preferences, needs, and interests, which serves as a perfect starting point for outreach,” shares Siddiq. “With the right social insights, businesses know exactly who to reach out to, which platform to use, and most importantly, what to say to get prospects to listen to their offerings.”
Cloudlead’s innovative approach to social insights heralds a new era in outbound sales, empowering businesses to connect with leads more effectively and hold more meaningful conversations. Those interested in leveraging social insights to amplify their sales efforts are invited to connect with the team at Cloudlead, the trailblazer in this transformative sales paradigm.
