Get Targeted Sales Leads From Twitter
Posted by shaun in Marketing for Accountants,Online Marketing,Social Networks | December 12, 2012
In this post we are going to show you a couple of ways you can make sure that you don’t miss any potential customers on Twitter. Using Twitter is a great way to communicate with peers and potential clients but what about using it to source people who are actively asking for your services on the platform?
Twitter Search
Ok so far nothing revolutionary here, I am sure a lot of you have used Twitter search before. Take a look at the screenshot below and you will begin to get an idea of the opportunities that are available if you are on the ball.
You will have to wade through a lot of crap and retweets but there are a number of genuine sales leads available on Twitter, more and more it seems people are turning to Twitter first to seek out recommendations from their contacts. If you monitor it properly there are plenty of opportunities available for you.
So how do you make it work?
Well first off you are going to have to come up with a list of “search terms” that you want to monitor, start thinking like a potential client on Twitter and use phrases that you would use to ask for recommendations. It may take a while to get your list together but it is well worth investing some time into doing it.
Next you need to regularly use these terms to search for opportunities on the Social Network using the Twitter search facility.
Woah, Woah, Woah I haven’t got time to be doing that all day!
The plan comes tumbling down at this point which is why you need a way to automate the process. What if you could get an email alert everytime someone searched for one of your search terms, that would be quite helpful right?
Automating the process
The next part of this post is hidden behind a “pay wall” but before you go reaching for your wallets/purses all you need to do is hit the Tweet button below and share this post with your followers, once you do the content will be unlocked.

Thanks Chris, I will take a look at your website.
Thanks! I’ll give those two twitter search engines a go. Anything must be better than a manual search!
