When a customer gets a cold meal or
bad customer service, they pull out
their phone and share their negative
experience on Facebook, Twitter,
LinkedIn, or they blog about it.
One bad experience has been shared
with potentially 100's of people!
--- Things are much different today! ---

6. Things can go viral fast!
People are far more likely to share a negative
experience rather than a positive one.
Bad experiences create emotions that make
people want to take immediate action.
How do you monitor what's being shared?
--- Via comments, shares, and posts ---

7. Engage * engage * engage
 Be active on your social profile pages.
