Social media monitoring can help you listen to what customers are saying about your brand, sure. However, there is something fundamentally missing from their services, something that a c-suite exec. or VC would find exceptional interest in. I’m talking about connecting social data with one’s ACTUAL KEY BUSINESS PERFORMANCE METRICS.
Companies are finding out the hard way that social media monitoring is simply not enough. It starts off great, but after a certain period of time, it becomes difficult to distinguish how everything is actually affecting one’s business. In order to correlate unstructured (including social) data with your business, you need social media business intelligence.
Not only to you get the ability to listen, but you get the ability to tie everything back to your unique business processes and understand how everything is affected. Why settle for a piece of the pie when you can have the whole thing?
