History
Hearsay Social was founded in 2009 by Steve Garrity and Clara Shih to promote businesses via social media. Since then Hearsay Social has expanded their services in a wider sense as a “social selling platform.” Clara Shih and Steve Garrity met during their freshmen year at the Stanford Computer Science Department in the year of 2000.
From the time they met until now they built a strong friendship which would lay the foundation for Hearsay Social. The company headquarters is located in San Francisco, California. They focus on the consistently changing world of social media to promote the services of large businesses, in order to satisfy a demanding customer base.
Clara developed a Facebook app, before the inception of the company, which went viral and she was then asked to write a book about the social media business. Her book was titled The Facebook Era, and went on to be featured in the New York Times and was used by the Harvard Business School as a marketing textbook. Seizing the many opportunities presented by social media at the time, Clara messaged Steve through Facebook and thus Hearsay Social was created.
Then in 2013 Hearsay Social launched a pioneering social sales platform which from the moment of inception empowered sales representatives to improve upon antiquated sales techniques. This newly introduced sales platform allowed sales representatives to have insight into what customers and prospects were saying on social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
At the same time the company also unveiled the Hearsay Social Brand Solution, which immediately supported complex marketing team strategies and social media interaction on a large scale. This solution allowed marketers to effectively plan, publish, and manage messages on every involved social media platform.
By 2015 Hearsay Social launched mobile applications for iPhone and Android devices. This software addition was offered free-of-charge to existing customers and helped to reach out to a vast audience by becoming mobile, and leveraging the fact that marketers aren’t always sitting at their desks.
With this addition to the software productivity is increased by allowing advisors and agents to remain productive wherever they may be in the world. It also allows access to the Predictive Social Suite which is a platform that allows for insights to be received and acted upon instantaneously. Hearsay Social is a constantly changing and innovative software-as-a-service platform which allows advisors and agents to stay on top of marketing opportunities in real-time.
