LeadSift: Capture Intent and Actionable Insights with Social Media

Businesses are constantly trying to capture data on prospects and customers to both find and attract leads, and then to keep and upsell the customers they acquire. There’s a ton of technologies out there to attempt to capture this data. Some of the sources are inaccurate and others out of date.

Too bad there wasn’t a source of information that was continuously updated accurately and often by people. There is! People consistently and repeatedly leave a trail of accurate and finite behavioral and intent data online via social media. Every day and often, every hour or so.
