💡Benefits of Share analytics:

This valuable tracking information helps you find out the level of interest your prospect/customer has for the content shared by you and your users. Seeing what content is popular will help focus your attention on what is truly interesting and worth following up on. If you analyze how a potential buyer perceives the shared content you're able to continuously edit and shape your share link.

  • With Share analytics you can find out:
    • Who viewed your share
    • When they viewed it
    • What files and individual pages have been viewed
    • How long the viewer was watching each individual file or page
  • With this information:
    • You can evaluate who on the buyers' side is possibly taking part in the decision-making process. This is valuable information, especially in Enterprise sales

    • Sales representatives can interact and influence other decision-makers based on this knowledge

    • You know what kind of content or parts of the contents customer was interested in, or not interested in at all.

    • You find out if there is some decision-making barriers that should be talked about and tackled with the customer. In many sales cases sales representatives can tackle the barriers proactively if he just finds these during the sales process

    • Decide after you find out a customer was not interested in some materials if you should develop and personalize those more for the customer or are these materials not worth sharing?
