REASONS TO BLOG © Hugh McLeod  Customers trust their friends and family more than they trust you  A blog done right can go a long way to humanize a company  Engaging customers through blogs and other social media tools builds credibility and their trust in you  Customers will talk about your brand with or without you

    10. HOW DELL DOES IT – RULES OF THE ROAD 1. Understand that customers are in control 2. Remember that real conversations are two-way 3. Think before you talk, but always be yourself 4. Address any form of dissatisfaction head-on 5. Be aware that any conversation can become global at any time 6. Don’t be afraid to apologize, then do what’s necessary to help Dell avoid making that mistake in the future
    11. HOW DELL DOES IT – WHAT GOES THROUGH LEGAL  Any issue that is safety-related (all posts related to the battery recall)  Any post that calls out a competitive product by name  Any post about a Legal issue (Ex. A Tale of Two Processors in China)  Any post that explains how we will support many customers based on an issue (Ex. the NVIDIA GPU issue)  When in doubt, apply some common sense
