The HootSuite Social Media Coach Team prefers to keep our group conversations out of email and inside the HootSuite dashboard. In our first two posts of this series, I set up the groundwork for Organizations and Team Collaboration, and now you’re ready for the ultimate Team tool…HootSuite Conversations.

HootSuite Conversations is an all-encompassing internal collaboration tool. The tool allows for real-time conversations with the Teams you have set up in your Organization – all within the HootSuite dashboard.

To learn more about HootSuite Conversations and setting up your Organization, join us in our Social Media Coach webinars:

Use the HootSuite Conversations tool to:

• Simplify Authentic Communication: Converse with anyone you work with, collaborate with, and share messaging with, easily and intuitively within your HootSuite dashboard.
• Amplify Social Internally and Externally: Send business updates, social messages, corporate marketing and press content to Conversations for teams to redistribute across social networks.
• Discuss Social Messaging Internally: Easily send social messages from the dashboard to Conversations to discuss an appropriate response.
• Share in a Real-time Social Content Library: Who better to share industry-related content than your colleagues?

For example, if a team member at your start-up comes across an interesting PR piece about the business or industry, share it to Conversations for team or business-wide discussion and redistribution via social channels.

• Localize your Teams: Connect across your business’ multiple teams and departments whether a larger office with many departments or regional stores across the country, bring everyone together into the conversation as a team.

How-to’s on HootSuite Conversations

Simplify Communication: With HootSuite Conversations you can converse with anyone you work with, collaborate with, and share messaging with, easily and intuitively within the HootSuite dashboard.

For example, if you are a part of a customer service team and you come across a question in Twitter you aren’t sure how to answer, instead of emailing your co-workers for clarification you can simply send this message to Conversations. This allows your team to collaborate in real time to come up with an appropriate response.
