Social media: guiding principles
• Problems and complaints can be minimised but not
eliminated
• Customers should be encouraged to report problems
• Problems, feedback and complaints are an integral part of
customer service, not a separate activity or department
• Customer expectations will continue to increase and evolve
• Complaints can be a particularly challenging and emotional
area of service, hence the importance of skills, behaviour and
EI
![Page 20: Social media - docs.whitepaper.co.uk · Social media: guiding principles • Problems and complaints can be minimised but not eliminated • Customers should be encouraged to report](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070913/5fb4923b9d90b656cf1f7991/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Social media: action to take
• Ensure early first contact (empathy, apologies), is 24/7
possible?
• Flexibility and trust: colleagues can respond rapidly and
appropriately
• Importance of brand boundaries, tone of voice, rules of
conduct, regulatory obligations, consistency - across the
organisation
• Resolve simpler, non-sensitive complaints within the social
channel
• Scan for all comments/complaints for your organisation
![Page 21: Social media - docs.whitepaper.co.uk · Social media: guiding principles • Problems and complaints can be minimised but not eliminated • Customers should be encouraged to report](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070913/5fb4923b9d90b656cf1f7991/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
