In fact, according to Internet Retailer, social media influences purchasing behavior even more than retail websites do. Below is the breakdown of impact score by channel, according to the report:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Retailers\u2019 social network posts and pages: 35%<\/li>\r\n<li>Price comparison sites: 35%<\/li>\r\n<li>Shopping apps: 34%<\/li>\r\n<li>Brands\u2019 social network posts and pages: 33%<\/li>\r\n<li>Product reviews: 33%<\/li>\r\n<li>Printable coupons: 32%<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to this important function, then, you\u2019ll want to take the following tips into account to ensure your organization is positioned for long-term success.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Choose the Right Team-Focused Goals<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To truly understand if your social team\u2019s efforts are paying off, it\u2019s critical to establish what goals your organization is looking to accomplish on each channel. Goals give your social media strategy a focus and help identify what isn\u2019t working to ensure you\u2019re able to quickly adjust your campaigns to account for any missteps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Setting team-focused goals can both measure the performance of an individual\u2019s contributions and populate data on how well overall campaigns are performing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><b>Potential Social Media Goals<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<h4>Goals Worth Considering for Monitoring The Success of Your Social Team Include<\/h4>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Strong Team Participation<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p>Gain an understanding of what each team member is contributing to your overall social media management process.<\/p>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Increased Efficiency<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p>Develop an overview of which team activities, such as social monitoring or measurement, take the most and least amount of time as well as how each of these features impacts overall results. This will better inform challenges faced by the team while identifying the potential need to hire more talent.<\/p>\r\n<h4><b>Improved Customer Service<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p>Understand the time it takes for each team member to address customer service requests, then use those insights to improve your team\u2019s response protocols.<\/p>\r\n<h4><b>Proper Resource Allocation<\/b><\/h4>\r\n<p>To better allocate your resources, you need to understand where your team spends the most time and effort on social.<\/p>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><b>Proven Impact on ROI<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\r\n<p>Above all, monitor your team\u2019s contributions to increasing sales, visibility, customer retention and engagement.

Here are a few ways team data can be used to impact growth:<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Identify team members who aren\u2019t engaged <\/b>with their job, due to a low task-completion rate; then either better train them, transition them to another role or, if this issue isn\u2019t resolved, let them go.<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Understand where the team\u2019s time is spent, <\/b>then allocate resources to the areas that are the most critical.<\/p>\r\n<p><b>Learn more about customer service requests <\/b>in terms of how they are both received and resolved through social as\u00a0compared to email, live chat and phone.<\/p>\r\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Pull Your Own Team Reports<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>Gaining insights to inform your broader social media strategy is much more manageable with the right tools to help. Below is an example of how to measure and report on team performance, using Sprout Social. In addition to analytics around publishing and task management, this tool will alert you of the speed and rate at which your team is responding to messages. As a result, your organization will be able to increase its efficiency while ensuring your brand is making the right connection with your most valued customers.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-333 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/beingdigitalz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Measuring-Social-Team-Member-Effectiveness-Team-Report.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beingdigitalz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Measuring-Social-Team-Member-Effectiveness-Team-Report.png 640w, https:\/\/www.beingdigitalz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Measuring-Social-Team-Member-Effectiveness-Team-Report-284x300.png 284w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An often neglected way of measuring the success of your social media marketing efforts is looking at the contributions of each team member.
