The perfect solution for the Marketing Manager one-(wo)man band
Solved the problem of Sales not having time to spend on Social Media.
PROSReady for Social was really the perfect solution for my needs. Not only does Thought Horizon provide a platform to schedule and automate the distribution of content, they also create engaging thought leadership content for you. Exactly what I needed as a Field Marketing Manager trying to enable and push Sales to take Social Selling to the next level. The pick-up rates by Sales was amazing, as they would only need 30 minutes a week to prepare a whole week of Social Media presence. I can only recommend Ready for Social. The customer service and the people at Thought Horizon are super nice and acommodating to your needs. I can only give Ready for Social by best recommendations.
CONSNothing was really difficult in getting up and running. Everything went quite smooth. Perhaps the depth of the metrics could be improved slightly.
Reason for choosing Ready For Social
Because Ready for Social were for all employees and not just Marketing or selected representatives. And because Thought Horizon provided copywriting resources as well. Just what I was looking for.

Comprehensive platform with a superb team in the background
Next to the tool / platform itself, what I really value and appreciate is the responsive, very friendly and supportive staff at Ready for Social. They're not only providing the tool, but come up with all sorts of good advice and ideas how to get the most out of social selling which, for instance, also includes recommendations how to improve my own LinkedIn profile or how kick-start social selling.
PROSInstead of having employees waste their time searching for interesting 3rd party articles they might post on their LinkedIn or Twitter profiles, this comes as a fully packaged solution from Ready for Social, comprising their service of curated content plus their tool / platform through which the content can be published with a few mouse clicks. It's this combo of easy usage plus their support which is convincing.
CONSWhen reviewing / approving content in the admin panel of Ready for Social, sometimes a "Security Token Expired" message pops up which requires the user to refresh the page. This is only a minor thing and might be due to the network and security settings in our company.

Greatly improved my branding while giving me back valuable time in my work week.
Ready For Social through Thought Horizon is an incredible group of people that always have my best interest at heart. They have taught me how to become a better content manager as well as a more effective social media relationship creator. I recommend this service and technology to everyone that relies on social media networking and content branding.
PROSI personally like the "own post" queue as well as the ability to use the Chrome extension to grab relevant content.
CONSThere isn't anything currently I don't like about this software. Everything works as advertised. The continued improvements and added functionality are a bonus.
Vendor Response
Thanks for this review Jeff. We greatly appreciate your support and thank you for using RFS!

Software alone doesn't do the trick
With the help of readyforsocial and the team at Thought Horizon, we established the social selling mindset and practice in our salesforce beyond content sharing and employee advocacy.
PROSIt has all the features which are relevant in an enterprise B2B context. It is easy to use with little training effort. And it comes with a lot of value adding services by the software creators who are at the top of their field: advisory and consultancy, content creation service, trainings and community management, customer support
CONSThe software is highly customizable but not from a customer admin frontend, only via the great customer support. User interface and content management interface are separate logins.
Reason for choosing Ready For Social
Customer support, advisory and consultancy, content creation service, trainings and community management

Highly Recommended
Ready For Social does a great job of curating content that reflects our thought leadership. I don't have the time to look for, organize and post content multiple times every week for everyone on our leadership team, but with RFS we are able to do so. Their customer service is great too.
CONSThis is small, but it would be nice if the approvals page allowed me to swipe right to get to the approve/disapprove button rather than having to drag the bar at the bottom of the page.

Great tool for busy professionals
As a sales person, Linkedin was the tool for me to keep in touch with our exisitng and prospect customers.Ready for social helped me find great content to post and scheduled the posts on my behalf saving me a lot of time.On Monday morning, I would just schedule all my posts for the rest of the week and let the applications take care of the posting. I could also see insights of how well my content did in the previous week and which posts were the most successful.
CONSThe GUI could be improved but it's not a deal breaker
Vendor Response
Thanks for your review. We agree that the GUI needs a refresh and we have one slated by the end of Q2 2023!

Happy to extend the license for another year!
In general RfS really helps to integrate social media into daily business. Sceduling content and content suggestions speed up social selling activities. Also, the Team is constently working on new releases and the customer service is very accommodating in regards to reporting and other questions!
PROSRfS gives you the opportunity to plan you social activities in advance. Sceduling content makes life a lot easier.
CONSTagging people is not possible within the tool but need to be done afterwards directly on LinkedIn.
Vendor Response
Hi Annalena, We also wish LinkedIn would give us the ability to tag. We promise to keep asking. It is splendid that the platform helps you keep organized with social postings

Für mich ein tolles Tool, um mein Netzwerk nachhaltig positiv zu pushen
Für mich ist es ein hilfreiches Tool, um regelmäßig wertvollen Content mit meinem persönliches Netzwerk zu teilen. Es hilft mir, für eine regelmäßige Sichtbarkeit meines Profils, aber auch meiner Themen zu sorgen. Abschließender Hinweis: Diese Bewertung schreibe ich als Benutzer der Software - es handelt sich somit um eine private Bewertung.
PROS- es finden sich viele Kategorien, um "seine" Themen schnell zu finden - die Oberfläche ist vom der Usability m.E. State of the Art und einfach zu bedienen, da selbsterklärend - den Posting-Vorschlägen kann ich entnehmen, wie oft sie geteilt werden. Eine sicher immer gern genommene Entscheidungshilfe - Statistiken können helfen, sein Engagement auf den Kanäle zu verbessern bzw. motivieren mich, noch erfolgreicher zu sein zu wollen - sehr unkompliziert kann ich anderen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern der Software in unserem Unternehmen Posts vorschlagen, von denen ich glaube, dass diese Posts auch ihnen hilft, diese in ihren Communities erfolgreich zu teilen
CONS- aktuell ist es noch nicht möglich, Vertaggungen für Posts auf LinkedIn zu berücksichtigen (allerdings weiss ich nicht, ob diese Limitierung dem Netzwerkbetreiber LinkedIn zuzuordnen ist)
Vendor Response
Thanks Bernhard! Please reach out via Help Center in the tool so we can show you how to do postponements on LinkedIn Thanks for creating this personal review.

Limited exposure to and use of the platform, but it works well for us.
It's been good, but mostly because the customer service is so excellent.
PROSWe use RFS to review social media posts that Thought Horizon creates for us, so the interaction with it is limited. I essentially review the posts and approve, revise, or reject them. It's fairly easy to use to do those things.
CONSThe interface is too wide. I can't see all the options at one time and have to scroll back and forth to read posts and then approve or reject them. Also, there are several different versions for different uses and each one has a separate login. I'd prefer one login and then being able to choose where in RFS I want to be once I'm in, rather than trying to remember which url to use.

I have recently started using it and love it so far.
PROSAutomation of social networking that makes it easy for my network to follow relevant information.
CONSThe only issue that I had was that in setting up the automation, it would wait until the next week to start. It would have been nice to have it begin immediately.
