Sprout Social
When you’ve got a large customer base and operate across several social media channels, keeping on top of what’s being said about your business can be hard work.

No customer likes to feel ignored, so provide timely interactions just when they’re needed most, with GetResponse. The software lets you schedule a range of automated messages, so that your company responds almost instantly to queries, purchasing problems, and even abandoned shopping carts. This improves customer satisfaction, and is more likely to lead to them completing a successful interaction with your brand.
Zoho
Understanding exactly what customers most like and dislike about their interactions with your company, gives you great insight about how your business is perceived. Zoho can help by providing you with bespoke surveys that ask the questions you most need answers to. You don’t need any prior knowledge of coding, as the software operates on a drag-and-drop interface, so even the most non-technically minded can create an appropriate and professional-looking survey with the minimum of fuss, incorporating multiple choice questions and text boxes.
