#1. The Right Mindset & Attitude
From top management to ground staff and across departments:
1.Participation
2.Openness
3.Authentic
4.Honest
5.Be Prepared to Apologise!
13
#1. The Right Mindset & Attitude (eg.)
14
“While we’re sure this was a great deal for customers, it was inadvertent, and we took a big loss (over $1.6 million - ouch) selling so many items so far under cost. However, it was our mistake. We will be honoring all purchases that took place on 6pm.com during our mess up. We apologize to anyone that was confused and/or frustrated during out little hiccup and thank you all for being such great customers. “
15
#1. The Right Mindset & Attitude (eg.)
Tiger not only ignored the negative comments, they deleted them and banned those users from posting again!
2. Commitment & Consistency
• Do you have a resource committed to customer service?
• How about upkeeping the blog/newsletter content?
• Are your actions consistent in the online and offline world?
16
The reason why Mac users are so loyal: Apple's brand.
2. Commitment & Consistency (eg.)
17
the next day…
No Bill Shock??
50% off the bill and a satisfied customer!
3. React Fast & Be Prepared
• Expectation of fast response time
• Discuss internally to agree on workflows and “model” answers
• Go with your gut feel and observe Rule #1
Best Practices:
• Social media is public. Your fans and followers have the right to make negative comments – it’s your company’s job to turn those negative comments around
• If possible, suggest that customers contact you privately to send their email address or phone number for more in-depth discussion
