Leadspace:
“The first generation was about putting data into databases, and the second generation was about building automation platforms [like Salesforce or Marketo],” Bewsher said. The focus for Leadspace is to use public and proprietary social data to layer on top of a client’s existing sales platforms and find new potential clients, or add color to existing ones.
Leadspace gathers data on individuals through the web, multiple social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, and any structured data, such as first-party CRM or marketing databases or third-party business intelligence data sets from Dun & Bradstreet. If an individual known by the client posts on an online forum, for instance, Leadspace’s technology is designed to gather this additional information and combine it to create a more relevant profile of that person and their interests.
NextPrinciples:
Automating lead generation via social media isn’t limited to gathering newly available data and plugging it into a CRM. Some marketers are finding it useful to improve the community-building aspects that are the ostensible purpose of social platforms.
NextPrinciples brands itself a “social marketing automation solution.” Its product is similar to Leadspace it that it uses social media data to vet potential leads, but does so for the purpose of targeting leads with content on social platforms.
The company’s focus for now is on Twitter content optimization, but it has been working on integration with Facebook, blogs, forums and YouTube.
