Doing More with Less

Though social channels are principally utilized for personal connections, as of late these sites have been selected by B2B organizations to engage potential customers earlier in the buying cycle. Since the conduits are open, organizations rush to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and comparable platforms to target potential clients and learn consumer behavior. However, the biggest challenge for firms is selecting the right enterprise communication tool for social network use that will scale with the organization, provide seamless management, and bridge the gap between marketing and sales. “With the rise in usage of social networking for organizations, firms demand a system to manage the use of social and exploit the sales benefits that social can provide. This is where rFactr comes in,” says Richard Brasser, CEO, rFactr.

rFactr provides social business solutions for enterprise clients through their unique tools that empower frontline representatives and amplify sales activities, while delivering valuable intelligence and insights across the social ecosystem. rFactr helps companies easily command their entire sales teams’ use of social to drive incremental revenue while protecting their brand value. “Our solutions have been integrated with SAP tools, so if representatives engage with the buyers online through LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter, they are really focused on the sales productivity, returning value,” adds Brasser.

The company’s software product, SocialPort™, is a social communication management system that allows organizations to share content on social platforms, enabling them to grow relationships and accelerate the sales cycle through the lead nurture phase. Users can leverage SocialPort™ to write, schedule, and publish relevant content to build rapport with their social networks while user dashboards track the effectiveness of their social selling activities. “Today’s buyers are empowered with corporate websites, blogs, and social networks to help them make informed decisions, allowing them to rely less on sales teams during the buying process. Top sales performers have recognized this and are leveraging social channels to create more opportunities, nurture leads with content and accelerate the sales process. rFactr partners with clients to scale the best practices of these top performers across the enterprise,” says Julio Viskovich VP of Marketing, rFactr. SocialPort™ is integrated with SAP Cloud for Sales, so there is no need to visit multiple social sites.
