Anyone else using Influitive having issues access the platform right now? We are getting an error saying our connection is not private.

Great session, @Patrick Kalie! I remember you were talking positioning repurposed event content as "behind the scenes" - do you have an example of that?

#general - April 19, 2024 at 05:56 PM

I'm bummed I will miss (again) 2pm EST on Fridays is a popular meeting time at my company somehow! Have fun

#influitive - April 17, 2024 at 08:46 PM

No worries!

#influitive - April 17, 2024 at 04:22 PM

Is the Influitive Success Series happening today? I've been in waiting room for about 10+ mins so guessing not... or is that even a thing? Lmk!

#general - April 17, 2024 at 12:25 AM

Wow @Ashley Ward love that! I would echo waht others were saying... 3+ months is usually the turnaround time for us. Would love to shorten that!

My company was acquired by Vista a few years ago and we are still a portfolio company. TBH a lot has changed since the scquisition, but changes in structure and leadership were over time and felt more natural with direction of the business vs. drastic PE changes. As @Lisa Young and @Jennifer Gladden said - I wouldn't stress too much right now.

Hi there - question about these release documents... Is this a best practice? Does it help get approvals quicker? We do not have them, just keep email chains with approvals. But I was curious if they are help in getting a yes/approval quicker. Also - does it help avoid last minute drop outs? And do you use for any story share, or just case studies/videos? What about webinars or event speaking opportunities I've had some situations recently where the customer contact said yes to a story share/webinar, said it was all good, had a few meetings but last minute get a no because they mentioned it to someone... or did have an approver that wasn't mentioned at beginning (even when asked or after a few content meetings!) Thanks in advance for any input 🙂

Does anyone know anything about [www.wheelhouse.com](http://www.wheelhouse.com)? Looks sketchy maybe, but getting emails from them about reviews/product listing. Didn't know if anyone worked with them?

Keeping an eye on this thread... we have the integration mostly set up but it hasn't been rolled out to the sales org (happening in H2).

#influitive - March 07, 2024 at 02:18 AM

Agree - we have this integration set up. We haven't officially rolled it out yet so don't have true feedback. We have had issues with some of the data syncing from SFDC to Influitive. For example, when the suggested customers from influitive show up in the reference request flow, the company size and industry are missing and we can't figure out why. Also it is a little manual setting up the challenge but seems like it shoudl work better htan browsing through a crm and sending emails...

#general - March 05, 2024 at 02:01 PM

Anyone have good examples how they have celebrated customers or individual community members at events? Customer awards is an obvious one, but any other cool ways important customers have been publicly recognized at events - virtual or in person?

#template-copy-share - December 20, 2023 at 05:18 PM

Does anyone have a good template for a customer story release form, or something for the customer to sign when committing to a customer story? Or good reasons for/against having a customer sign this?

#template-copy-share - December 04, 2023 at 03:37 PM

Thanks for sharing the link above, @Shannon Howard! Would love to see any info that was shared or mentioned in this thread! @Amanda Peacock did you find your deck by chance? Thanks all!

So sorry Mary, so hard. Thinking of you and your fam.

Hi all - I'm looking for a contractor to help with Influitive admin... ~8-10 hours a week. Let me know if you know of anyone!

#announcements - May 19, 2023 at 05:12 PM

This is also something that our execs have expressed interest in... happy to join convo!

#announcements - May 12, 2023 at 04:51 PM

So far its good... most of the expansion/upsell currently is around product/feature/service usage which is all messaging and strategy that PMM owns so it makes sense. Advocacy moved to brand mid 2022, which has been good but makes all my customer story focus on brand-level stories (top of funnel). This meets the goals of my team/manager (VP brand) but not always helpful for sales/FMM further down the funnel. Head of Growth PMM started in Feb. It's relatively new so I am interested/excited to see how the partnership will work.

#announcements - May 12, 2023 at 04:39 PM

At my company we don't have a formal Customer Marketing function... Expansion/retention efforts actually live in PMM, in a "PMM Growth" team. Customer Advocacy lives in brand
