Has increased advocate engagement through centralized tracking but needs better ROI measurement and usability improvements
The best features Influitive Platform offers include the leaderboard, where advocates who perform the most acts of advocacy are displayed as being the most active. This creates competition between advocates regarding who performs the most acts of advocacy. Influitive Platform aligns closely with improved customer engagement and advocacy visibility. The leaderboard impacts engagement in my community as it enables internal people to see which advocates are the most active, while creating competition amongst advocates to reach the top position. Influitive Platform has positively impacted my organization as there's more attention being paid to identifying and inviting people to become advocates because there's a central hub they can access. The formal program has generated more interest around advocacy within the company.
