Currently in beta, this SaaS startup allows you to connect, track and train people belonging to your ambassador network. Founded by Hunter A Hastings, Blast is a new Internet marketing venture that makes it easier to collaborate and connect with ambassadors of your brand.
The web tool integrates with all of the major platforms including Branch, Salesforce, Slack, Weebly and Zapier. The sales and marketing company gives a way for you to reward ambassadors for digital tasks (when their referrals become customers) and for physical tasks, such as posting fliers and staffing events. You can also delegate tasks to your ambassador network with Blast's unified platform, which allows you to communicate with them directly and more easily.
