5-Steps-to-Managin-Complaints-on-Social-Media

Do you see customer complaints as problems? Or as opportunities? No matter how hard we try, mistakes will happen. What’s important is preparing and training your team to respond appropriately. I have long recommended the 5 Step Service Recovery Process:

  2. Apologize
  3. Fix it
  4. Have ownership of the problem
  5. Act with urgency
