Previously, for small businesses, communicating face-to-face was critical, because it was the personal touch customers were looking for. However, in today’s world, B2B customers are more likely to use social media to influence their purchase decisions. Therefore, small businesses cannot rely only on traditional communication methods.
Social Listening Tools for Small Businesses
Microsoft Social Listening is an upgraded software that can improve small business without increasing business expenses. Social Listening is included with CRM Online Professional licenses and is built to integrate directly with your Microsoft Dynamics CRM software solution.
Microsoft Social Listening is a powerful service that monitors social media channels, such as Facebook and Twitter. Small businesses can use it to track products, brands and competitors at real-time.

Ultimately, it provides full coverage of YouTube, Twitter, Facebook Fan pages, and over 70 million blogs.
