What is Influitive?

AdvocateHub helps B2B marketers capture customer enthusiasm and use it to drive marketing and sales efforts. With AdvocateHub, B2B marketers build an advocate community and invite customers into it to complete “challenges” like referrals, reference calls or product reviews. As they complete challenges, advocates gain points, badges and levels which can be used for a variety of perks and privileges.

Unleashing the Power of Advocacy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Update: After Influitive was aquired by Jigsaw in Dec 2023, things have gone downhill. They removed all easy access support channels, and support now starts with an AI bot. They also increased our renewal contract substantially. In our organization, Influitive serves as a dynamic hub for cultivating and mobilizing our brand advocates. We leverage the platform to address key business problems, primarily centered around community engagement, content amplification, and customer feedback. Influitive allows us to build a thriving advocate community, fostering a sense of loyalty and turning satisfied customers into vocal promoters. The platform facilitates seamless content sharing among our advocates, amplifying our success stories and testimonials to a broader audience. Moreover, Influitive serves as a valuable feedback mechanism, enabling us to collect real-time insights from our advocates. This input, coupled with the platform's gamification features, encourages active participation and enhances the overall customer experience. The scope of our use case encompasses community building, content dissemination, and data-driven decision-making, making Influitive an integral part of our customer engagement strategy. Overall, Influitive empowers us to transform customers into advocates, driving organic growth and fortifying our brand presence.

  • Rewards and Recognition
  • Content Amplification

Influitive is huge disappointment after JigSaw acquisition

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My company has been using Influitive for the past two years to manage our customer advocacy program. It helps us provide a centralized place for our customer advocates to go to see our latest educational content, marketing content, community discussions, and advocacy opportunities. They receive points for everything they do and redeem those points for rewards like swag or a product certification. We reluctantly renewed for a third year; however, we are looking at other vendors for 2025.

Pros

  • User experience for customers

Cons

  • A HUGE miss is that when an advocate completes a challenge they can't go back and look at their previous responses which also prevents them from responding to other members who respond to their comments
  • General respect for their customer base

Return on Investment

  • It sometimes saves us time when finding references but it lacks proper reference management functionality
  • Our customers say they don't have time to log into another tool just to complete challenges

Influitive - engaging customers through gamified interactions

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Influitive as both an engagement tool for our customers and to generate acts of advocacy to support our business goals.

The necessity to deepen relationships with customers is greater than ever, so we need a platform to support our efforts. Influitive allows us to get to know our customers better, understanding who they are and what they care about. From a business perspective, we're able to gather product feedback and insights that help us to shape the future of the business.

Our principal areas of focus are:

Generating peer reviews

Gathering testimonials

Supporting our sales teams with reference calls

Creating a feedback loop

Inviting referrals

Enhancing our NPS completion rate and overall sentiment

The program is gamified which allows us to thank our customers for their engagement, rewarding them for their participation.

Pros

  • The gamified functionality is perfect as we look to create a fun but rewarding environment.
  • The UI is clean and fresh, making it easy for customers to navigate.
  • The variety of options for content helps us to share all manner of artifacts.
  • The ability to segment our audience seamlessly allows us to target subsets of our demographic with valuable content.
  • The Influitive team are constantly available to support and offer advice to improve our program.

Cons

  • The translations feature is good, but supporting more global languages would be beneficial.
  • Calculating ROI is key, but not every organization measures the same metrics. Whilst the default options are good, the ability to easily add more specific metrics would be valuable.
  • There are plenty of integrations available, but with more and more vendors offering complementary solutions, Influitive will need to add to this area.

Return on Investment

  • Customer sentiment for those who are members of our program, has increased as a result of Influitive.
  • Our reference group works with us to support the sales process, providing insights to potential customers and helping to close deals.
  • Colleagues across the business have been able to gather hugely useful insights from engaged customers, helping to shape the future of the business.
  • The increase in peer reviews, on sites like TrustRadius, has ensured that we are well-positioned in our market(s) and seen as a vendor of choice for new customers.
