Hope You Don’t Mind is a new tool that is geared towards
business owners. It basically provides these individuals with a useful way of
monitoring the Twitterverse in pursuit of
potential customers.
The way it works is quite easy: as a business owner, all you have to do is set up searches related to your line of business. From that point onwards, you simple open HYDM at the start of your day and listen out for alerts when a potential customer has virtually "walked into your store". That is, in the very same moment that they are thinking about buying your product or hiring your services and they say as much on Twitter, you are alerted about the fact so that you can act before they buy it from someone else.
A system like this, then, puts an end to waiting for an
SMS, RSS feed or
daily summary email. Once you have set everything up at the beginning, it is all managed without further input on you.
The implementation of the system is also quite accurate, as a color-coded stream of tweets lets you see who may be interested in your products or services. What’s more, it is possible to employ predefined
"Stamp" tweets in order to send messages out from any of your
Twitter accounts to
grab the customer, and also track your
sales conversations.
