Cloudy's Favorite Apps: FlipTop Social Profiles

If you are using Salesforce to track your contacts and leads, you already know what a great tool it is for getting a detailed view of the the people, records, and relationships that are important to you.  When you are preparing to call or meet one of your clients or potential customers, one look at their record in Salesforce provides the information you need to have a more personal and up-to-date interaction.  The only thing that is missing is an easy way to view the public social media presence of your contact.  Sure, Salesforce provides the social media links at the top of the page, but often they lead to dead ends, and you have no way to know where the useful information might lie until you click on all five links!

FlipTop Social Profiles, available in a free version on the AppExchange, provides a snapshot of your contact or lead's public social media presence right on their record.  It makes a match using the email on the record and displays a photo and links to Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook accounts.  Of course, the matching only works if the email in your records is the one that your leads or contact use for their social media accounts, and if they have made their photos and profiles publicly searchable.

If tracking the social media presence of your contacts and leads is part of your toolkit for nurturing business relationships, by all means give FlipTop a try!

In Depth with Cloudy: Paul Selway - Founder of Redpath Consulting Group


Paul, what exactly IS Salesforce.com?

Salesforce.com is like a "Swiss Army Knife in the Cloud". It has Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Collaboration Cloud, Data Cloud, and Service Cloud apps that provide a very good starting point for Customer Relationship Management or Call Centers. It also has a database.com piece that can be used on it's own and a force.com platform piece that can be used to customize existing apps or create new ones.

What feature of Salesforce.com do you use every day?

Mobile Chatter. I just love the way that you can follow People, Groups, Accounts, Leads, Contacts, and Opportunities. It saves me having to read emails.

What is one of the best parts of your job as a Salesforce.com Consultant?
Solving business problems. I get a real kick seeing our Salesforce customers taking their business to the next performance level.

What AppExchange App are you trying out these days?

FlipTop Social profiles - I always like to know what a prospect or customer looks like, and it allows me to do a bit of research prior to talking with or meeting them.

Paul, where can our readers go if they have more questions for you?
