Social Media Simplified with Zoho Social: Bridge sales and social media marketing



Social media marketing has become the go-to strategy for most businesses who are trying to boost awareness of their product/service, create a brand image in the minds of their audience, increase website traffic and engagement, and generate leads. Posting regularly on social media, being responsive to queries received from customers and potentials, and staying updated on and following social media trends are all some methods that can help increase engagement your brand receives, because of the amount of time being spent on social media by individuals of all age groups. An entire product life cycle happens on social media these days. People are introduced to a product, become aware of its utility and relevance to them, make purchase decisions, and even purchase the product through social media. Depending on these interactions, the growth of the product either increases or declines. Consequently, your social audience, who are potential customers, are now more likely to convert into actual customers.

Zoho Social is a one-stop-solution for managing all your social media management needs and helps you increase your brand's engagement by making publishing and scheduling posts easier, responding to interactions promptly, tracking your performance, and much more. You can generate quality leads and capture their information on Social. But how can you put this information to use? The leads captured have to be sent to your sales team for follow-up and nurturing. But it's extremely tedious to manually track all the comments and messages you've received for your posts.

With the Zoho Social-Zoho CRM integration in place, you'll be able to seamlessly and automatically send this information to CRM, bridging your sales and social media marketing efforts. Let's look at an example of how you can generate leads and contacts using Social and send them to Zoho CRM.

Let's say you own a cafe and bakery chain and you're constantly tweaking the menu based on customer feedback. So you take to social media to post about new additions to the menu, workshops that you conduct in your cafe, and any other events that take place. This encourages a lot of engagement on your posts, which turns your social profile into a lead magnet.

This information can be captured from Social in the following ways:
  • Live stream: Once the post has been published, you can see a live stream of notifications appear in the live stream window on your Social homepage. You can simply click on the notification you want to see in detail, then click Add to CRM to add the contact information to CRM as a lead or a contact. You can either choose to add the information as a new lead/contact or associate it with existing matching records, if any.



  • Monitor dashboard: The Monitor tab serves as a single platform to help you keep track of what everyone is saying about your brand. You can add columns that you want to constantly monitor, and the notifications will keep getting updated. You can click Add to CRM next to any profile's notification that you want to add to your CRM, and the information will automatically be synced.


  • Messages tab: You can also hover over any message to add the information as a lead or contact to CRM.
     


  • Automated leads capture: Imagine that you recently posted about arranging regular food delivery for your customers who'd like to order food from the comfort of their homes/workplaces. To start, you've prepared a sample box of savouries and desserts and want to get the feedback of your customers, so you call out to the people who're interested in trying out this sample box. You start receiving many comments, but it's difficult to sit through and make a note of everyone's information. With the automated leads capture action in Zoho Social, you'll be able to define keywords and actions, making it easier for you to get back to these customers.


Integrate your Zoho Social with Zoho CRM now to streamline the lead capture and nurturing process and leverage the power of both platforms!
