Social Customer Service, the Loud Kid on the Customer Service Block

Social networking is the biggest trend to hit the Internet in the last few years. Aided by the rapid adoption of smart phones, consumers are sharing their views about products and companies much more easily through Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and forums. This free-flowing viral conversation is a challenge and opportunity for your business. Unaddressed negative perceptions can easily spin out of control to become a public relations nightmare for your business. On the other hand, a timely, appropriate response to complaints or negative perceptions is seen as a sign of caring.
