Admit When You Are Wrong...

"Everybody makes mistakes and that’s what makes us human.

So if your company has made a mistake, be open about it and admit it!

The more transparent your dealings are with your customers, the more loyal and cemented relations you will have with them.

When it comes to complaint handling, you need to stay vigilant on your social media platforms.

Do not argue or try justifying to the customer how it is their fault and not yours.

It will drive them away.

Even if it is their fault, clarify them through their inbox/message and move it from the public eye.

If you do not do this, it can be seen to be insulting and disrespectful to the customer.

If it has been established that the mistake has been committed from your end, then lay out a roadmap on how you plan to resolve it for them.

Conclusion...

This list of 7 tips is not exhaustive.

There are always going to be a number of other ways to humanize social media.

However, the future of customer retention will largely depend on how you connect with your customer...

Will it be in a corporate fashion or at a human level?"

Thanks for this, Steve, it is highly timely!
It's something that's been bugging me when I connect with other marketers on SM. You mostly feel you are being sold to. And immediately the popup for a newsletter if you go only one step further.....
Surprisingly enough, the exception so far has been an astrologer lady who always addresses me by name, and writes to me personally. As a result of this, even though her readings are not from the type of astro-schooling I favor, I have already bought two of her in-depth readings.

Yes, the personal touch.....:-))
