Course Reviews
Short but enriching!
It is a great basic course and helped me to remind everything since the beginning.
Useful as a basic summary
Useful as a basic summary and introduction. It would also be useful to see what companies do with the data received from social listening ie: increased spend, changed course of actions, etc.
A great listen for the basics of Social Listening
Working in a service sector rather than a direct sales environment this was still a useful course to understand the basics of what our customers and service users social media activity with us means.
Great Summary of the Basics
A summary of the basics, which helps you understand what SML can do and encourages you to think about how it can apply to your own business. Actual case studies help communicate the content. Especially impressed with the objective comparison of SML tools available via different companies. This was not just a 2 hour commercial
Good intro
This course does what it says and mentions various tools and applications for the techniques mentioned in enough depth that I feel comfortable discussing them.
