During its first two years of operations the company offered LinkedIn-focused consulting and employee training programs. At the request of several Fortune 500 customers, PeopleLinx explored ways to continue engagement beyond just training - and add a level of social media analytics. The result was the SaaS-based platform, that includes social selling components and analytics software for social media that can support enterprise sales teams.
