SlideShare is the world’s largest community for sharing

presentations.

It has 60 million monthly visitors and 130 million pageviews,

it is amongst the most visited 200 websites in the world.

These 3 numbers mean that businesses must sit up and

take notice, but just how can businesses make effective use of SlideShare?

SlideShare PRO has analytic options that will prove to be very attractive for businesses B2C and B2B and in particularly for B2B.

SlideShare PRO offers extra benefits for uploading including videos, however I recommend the analytics dashboard, lead capture and tracking presentations as the pearls of the PRO portfolio.

SlideShare PRO – “Send Tracker”

24 March 2013 5 www.socialmediajedi.info

Imagine being able to send a SlideShare presentation link to a business prospect and then being able to see reporting about it being opened, and the most viewed slides? With PRO, that is what you get! On the next slide is an example where a presentation was sent and the link opened 3 times. I can see how the presentation was viewed on each occasion it was opened. The presentation does not open in the normal view. It has a special view that removes all the links and navigation links so you know that the recipient is only looking at your presentation and not distracted by ads or other menu options.

SlideShare PRO – “Send Tracker”

I can also see which “send tracker” presentations were not opened over time. SlideShare allows me to revoke access to them if I decide that I do not want them to view it anymore. “The access to this content has been revoked by the author” is the message shown when revoked presentation links are opened.

SlideShare PRO provides the option to upload to private

mode or to edit an existing public upload and then change it

to private mode.

Only account owners see private uploads, but you can send

private uploads as well as public ones via "send tracker" to other selected recipients.

SlideShare PRO enables lead capture via a form. You can

create a form just after an upload or to an existing upload

via the “my uploads” menu choice.

What I like about the lead capture process is the integration

possibilities with SalesForce CRM, using Slide2Lead, a free

application that can be installed from the SalesForce

AppExchange. For more information on this key topic for

businesses, consult the FAQ for lead capture.

Here are some best practice tips for lead capture using SlideShare PRO.

SlideShare PRO has the option of conducting online

meetings on the fly or they can be scheduled.

Firstly you select a presentation (video uploads cannot be

selected). Then you can select a local conference number

and you are given a code.

Alternatively, you can invite people from your Facebook or

Twitter accounts or via email to the meeting. There is an end meeting button.

If you have previously used SlideShare as just an upload

and forget source for PDF files then think again.

The new SlideShare has a crisp new appearance and some

great options for business users, in particular B2B. Lead

capture and send tracking are just two of my favorites.

If you are still not convinced, then read some of these case

studies. In the Marketo case study example they used

trigger alerts to their sales development team when certain

keywords were typed into the comment section of the

download form within SlideShare.
