See how your advocacy program can move beyond qualitative wins — and deliver real, quantifiable ROI, pipeline influence, and customer outcomes. In this short video, you’ll hear from CMA expert, Carlos Gonzalez, as he explains how ReferenceEdge helps you:
• Measure the true business impact of your customer advocacy program — not just the activity volume, but outcomes like influenced revenue and sales acceleration.
• Centralize and organize your advocate data, including reference profiles, activity history, and interaction preferences.
• Automate and scale reference workflows — from recruiting and nominations, to requests, feedback, and profile maintenance.
• Track advocacy directly in Salesforce, giving full visibility into how advocate involvement maps to closed-won deals.
• Reward and engage both internal users (sales, marketing, CS) and your customer advocates — using built-in gamification and points systems.
• Get structured feedback after every advocate activity — so you can evaluate effectiveness, learn, and optimize.
• Monitor and manage the health of your advocacy program over time, using dashboards, reporting, and KPIs tied to business goals.
Customer advocacy is a powerful engine — but without the right measurement tools, it often lives in anecdote. With ReferenceEdge, you can:
• Shift from “how many references did we get?” to “how many deals did we influence?”
• Link reference activities (calls, case studies, peer-to-peer conversations) directly to real revenue.
• Demonstrate to leadership the strategic value of advocacy by tying it to core company metrics.
• Make data-driven decisions to optimize your customer advocacy program for impact.
Here are some of the ReferenceEdge features that make its measurement capabilities strong:
• Salesforce-Native Architecture: All your reference data lives inside Salesforce — no separate system, no data sync issues.
• Request Automation: Streamline reference requests (calls, content, events) with automated workflows and routing.
• Profile Update Minder: Automatically prompt account owners, CSMs, or other stakeholders to keep reference profiles fresh, ensuring your data stays accurate.
• Advocate Feedback Loop: Built-in feedback requests after each activity to capture performance, satisfaction, and insights.
• Gamified Rewards: Point systems and leaderboards encourage user adoption and ongoing engagement from both internal users and customers.
• Program Health Monitoring: Dashboards and templates (26 quick-start templates included) help you set, track, and analyze advocacy KPIs.
• AI & Analytics: Use predictive tools like the Advocacy Gap Predictor to anticipate where you'll need more advocate capacity and make proactive recruitment decisions.
• Built for Growth: If you’re scaling a customer advocacy or reference program, ReferenceEdge gives you structure, data, and automation.
• Strategic Insights: Tie advocacy activities to meaningful business outcomes — not just “number of references.”
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Ops can all work in one common system, making your advocacy program more efficient.
• Leadership Buy-in: With measurable KPIs, you can clearly demonstrate ROI to executives and decision-makers.
• Sustainable Engagement: Gamification and feedback keep both advocates and internal users active in the long run.
