Two examples
Something goes wrong.
Our customers are talking about it on social and on
our communities.
They’re not happy. They want answers.
Immediately.
We follow our processes. Escalation.
Communication. And we respond.
29-11-2017 SONOS CONFIDENTIAL 8
Example #1
______________________________________
How long did it take? Does our communication meet
customer expectations? How transparent are we?
Did we communicate well?
Our customer preferences have evolved.
We decide to introduce our service teams to new
channels like Messenger and communities.
We define processes and best practices. We train
our teams. And promote these new channels.
29-11-2017 SONOS CONFIDENTIAL 9
Example #2
______________________________________
How easy is it for our teams to transition to these
new channels?
Are we meeting customer expectations with our
responses?
Are we communicating well?
