Stage 1: Listening for Actionable Insights

Why aren’t your social listening tools giving you the big insights you thought they would?

Tools don’t create big insights; people do.

Online conversations are abundant with people’s perceptions about:

!!!

Their lifestyles, wants, & needs Your brand and your products & services Your competition

Social listening tools are great at capturing that conversation. They tell you:

Sentiment index Conversation volume Trending conversations Top influencers Keyword trends

Often, however, these stats are “nice-to-know” but not necessarily actionably insightful.

1. Why is your brand struggling or succeeding? 2. How can you build deeper relationships with

your audience? 3. What are their preconceptions of your brand? 4. Where are the untapped opportunities that can

help you achieve your marketing objectives? 5. What kinds of campaigns should you be

considering to address these factors?

Through 100mph’s process, we tell you:

It comes from our unique approach.

We start by listening to you. Before we begin, we sit down with you and your team to understand

your brand, your business objectives, and your pain points. We create a

listening framework that describes your unique business situation.

And only then do we begin using the tools…

…yet we recognize their limitations. Tools cannot deliver crucial qualitative or

quantitative insight on their own. They only give us the raw material for the

insights - the actual conversations.

And through this process uncover deep insights on how best to connect your value proposition with your customers.

We review thousands of only the most relevant conversations, while applying the lens of your unique business situation.

We apply the listening framework to the raw conversations.
