In an age of automated everything, is it possible to put a personal touch to your marketing? Of course--even though customers are used to sites like Amazon and Pandora where they can get everything they need easily without ever talking to a person. Fortunately, businesses evolve right along with consumer demands. As the head of a marketing department, it's your job to research and adopt the right technology to make your company as effective as possible. Marketing automation isn't going anywhere, but that doesn't mean your entire marketing approach has to be robotic.
No matter what, customers want to feel like they matter, like they're heard, and like there's a real person on the other end of that transaction. Recently, Help Scout, which is also a really cool customer service tool, released a report on the "personalization" of marketing. It reveals that 70 percent of final purchases are dictated by how a person feels they're being treated as a customer....
Social media has provided people the ability to voice their opinion on companies, brands, people—in short, anything and anyone. What people say can be good or bad, but that alone doesn’t determine your social media success. The way your company listens and engages with these social media posts is what dictates how those opinions influence your online presence and brand sentiment.
Social media monitoring (also known as social listening) allows you to gain powerful insight into your customers, competitors, and industry influencers. To take full advantage of social media listening, you need to spread your monitoring across several social media channels, and keep a constant watch for new opportunities.
However, acquiring these insights takes time, and the use of the right tools. To provide you a hand in choosing which social media monitoring tools to use, we’ve compiled a list of 9 tools to get you started. To make it even easier, they’re all available in the Hootsuite App Directory....

There is no one-size-fits-all secret tool combination for personal branding success. The main reason I haven’t blogged about all my tools is because I use A LOT of tools. And, I don’t believe any tool is the one perfect tool that does everything. On that same note, I don’t believe every person should use the exact same tools in the exact same way. Not to mention that tools and social media platforms are changing so rapidly it’s hard to stay up to date with all the features and functions.
With all that being said I decided to breakdown the tools I use into different sections and provide you a quick overview of each tool that I use. Please note: just because I use it doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit for you. Rather I hope that you take away from this post knowledge of the variety of tools you can leverage and some great tool recommendations I suggest you check out and test for yourself....

Early in my career, I remember our CEO calling the entire sales team into the conference room. There were about 30 of us. With tremendous enthusiasm he announced a new SPIFF program with … drumroll … a prize of $20,000! To win, each rep needed to achieve the following:
Q3 bookings of $275,000 or more
Q4 bookings of $275,000 or more
Sell 25 of any Product
Sell 10 of Product A
Sell 4 of Product B in Q3
Sell 4 of Product B in Q4
Now, even for the highest earners, a $20k bonus was nothing to laugh at. So you can imagine the excitement that rose up from the room. Everyone left determined to conquer the challenge -- exactly what our CEO wanted. But what happened next probably wasn’t what he anticipated...
