B2B PR & Marketing
The advent of social media and the availability of content rich information has changed the way people buy and sell these days. Marketing itself has undergone a sea change with marketers engaging prospects on a more one-on-one basis. B2C companies quickly adapted to this change and have thrived on their new found closeness with their customers – but B2B companies are still not there. They need a more substantial solution to deepen their engagement with their prospects and customers which in turn will generate more business opportunities.
LeadForce1 a marketing automation2.0 solution which was launched today seems like the solution which will help B2B companies cope with the changing dynamics of B2B marketing.

Brand building
In this era of social media, the NPS system can give a whole new meaning to marketing. Drawing your promoters to help you with the process of brand building by sharing their brand experiences with a larger audience can be a great add-on to any marketing strategy. This also increases the chances of turning the Passives into active Promoters.
I personally see the NPS system as a great value add for the PR and branding team of any company.
