Social CRM Tools
New User Interface Screenshot

Import Twitter IDs

A Twitter ID is the number Twitter assigns to a profile. Instead of using your name or email address to identify you, In the new release we will import the Twitter/User ID. This way, when your contacts or leads change any of their personal information, Social CRM Tools still knows who they are. Social CRM Tools will be doing all kinds of things behind the scenes with user IDs, such as relaying statuses, formatting rss feeds, and putting your contacts in order. You can also utilize Twitter IDs in your workflow and applications within Salesforce.Com.

Over the last 2 – 4 weeks our Social CRM Tools team has spent some time analyzing some negative tweets regarding some Big Multimedia Brands in the Telecomm, and Entertainment space. What we found was surprising! While we can not reveal the company names in the study, we will highlight some of the findings.
In this video, learn how to use Social CRM Tools to implement a Customer Retention Strategy across Social Networks. The pro active Social Media monitoring features in Social CRM Tools allow you to monitor, analyze, track, and engage customers when they are thinking about canceling the product or service you are providing. The power of Social CRM Tools provides your retention reps with the tools to properly engage with your customers without the scripted Retention Sales pitch.

In our initial release of Social CRM Tools, we utilized the Twitter Search API located at http://search.twitter.com to display the search results of any leads and contacts that you attempted to Search and Import records for. When querying, you recieved no results, or innacurate results in the table. This was occuring due to the fact that the search was searching for conversations and not the Twitter Profile Name. In the 3.2 Beta Version of Social CRM Tools, we have fixed this so that it searches for First and Last name via the Twitter Profile Name by using the Tweepz API. In this version we have fixed the Twitter Look up to ensure that it utilizes the Tweepz Search Engine vs. the Twitter Search Engine. Previously, the Twitter Search and Import Function would look for the first and last name of a lead or contact in Twitter Conversations. This was not resulting in finding many results in the search engine. In this release, it will enable you to import Twitter Profiles by First and Last Name.
