FAQ

Seismic LiveSocial’s patented AI technology looks at more than 150,000 pieces of content, from more than 11,000 publishers, every day. Each user is served a highly-personalized and completely adjustable stream of content that best fits their interests and the needs of the markets they sell or serve.

They also have one or more streams of content from their marketing team. This makes it easy for every user to share highly relevant, current content. No more lookalike sharing. No more stale content. No more time spent finding the ideal corporate and third-party content for each user and their clients.

Most of our customers are mid-sized and larger, with several hundred (and in some cases thousands) of client-facing salespeople, consultants, wealth managers, commercial bankers, or insurance professionals. LiveSocial is a critical element of many enterprise sales enablement, social selling, digital sales, and social media marketing programs.

Some smaller firms are now deploying LiveSocial. Typically they have at least 50 market-facing professionals in sales or client service roles.

Often, social selling gets reduced down to essentially hunting people on LinkedIn. Sellers send large numbers of connection requests and InMails pitching their services in hopes that a few will respond favorably.

This is very rarely effective because the people you need to reach aren’t on LinkedIn to be hunted. They’re on LinkedIn and other social platforms to learn and to advance their own interests.

Buyer-centric social selling is entirely different. When sellers regularly share content that’s relevant, interesting, and valuable to the people they need to reach, they stand above the crowd. They begin to establish credibility and trust. They form and nurture valuable relationships. They spark a great many business-building conversations. 

Relevant third-party content is essential to buyer-centric social selling.

Most employee advocacy platforms only make the company’s own content available for sharing on social media. This tends to result in low levels of employee adoption (because it’s not clear what’s in it for them) and low levels of network engagement (because people who only talk about themselves and their company aren’t very interesting).

Some platforms include third-party content, but generally not enough to provide fresh, relevant content for each user.

Most corporate social media accounts (LinkedIn company pages etc.) have large numbers of followers and very little engagement. People generally don’t engage with companies. They engage with other people.

We engage with, and do business with, people that we know, respect, and trust. Leading firms increasingly recognize that their brand lives at the edge of the organization. It lives in the personal brand, the reputation, and the conversations of every client-facing employee.

It’s no longer enough to rely on centralized communication and advertising channels to get the word out about the great work your firm does. Modern marketing success comes from empowering and enabling every employee (or at least every customer-facing employee) to show up, speak up, nurture new and existing relationships, and spark conversations on social media.

LiveSocial provides powerful analytics and reporting at the user, the team, and the company level. Every user and every administrator / program manager has access to clear metrics on activity, engagement, impact, top-performing assets, top-performing topic areas and much more. This is a critical element of maintaining user engagement, driving continuous improvement, and demonstrating impact.
