“Soft” measurements are harder to track, for example, your prospect engaged on Facebook and referred your best client to you but the client never used your Facebook page.Yet there are plenty of measurement tools available, from simple spreadsheets to complex tools that chart all your “likes” and comments. Use them to know what your prospects want more of. For example, on Facebook look to see what’s getting the most responses. Does your audience love how to videos and ignore more traditional “educational” posts? Give ’em more of what they want. They’ll thank you for it!
