There’s no shortage of DATA!!!!

It may look like this…
But it feels like this!!!
Every 2 days we create as much information as we did from
the dawn of time up to they year 2003.

Current business
knowledge, experience
and domain expertise
Your organization’s data,
plus social media data,
can help un-lock the less
obvious insights about
your customers’ desires,
intentions and loyalty.
What’s hiding in all that data?

loyal.
High influence within Social Media

company
Represents top 1/3 of your revenue
generating customers based on

Does not have Twitter or Facebook.
Limited on-line profile or influence.

advocate.
