6. The way you respond & manage
will make or break you
“...by 2014 organisations that refuse to communicate with
customers by social media will face the same level of wrath from
customers as those that ignore today's basic expectation that
they will respond to emails and phone calls...it has been
predicted that responding to enquiries via social media channels
will be the new minimum level of response expected..."

10. Companies can be liable for
MISLEADING or DECEPTIVE posts
EVEN IF POSTED BY A
THIRD PARTY!
Small businesses should remove any of these comments as soon
as they become aware of them. ʻWell-resourcedʼ businesses
should take action within 24 hours of the post going live...
12. Listen and learn
According to KellerFay WOM Group, 10% of all conversations
about brands occur online. This represents a considerable
opportunity for businesses. More interestingly, of this 10%, just
one quarter are motivated by advertising, which begs the
question: What are the other three quarters of conversations
being had about your brand or company? This is where the
power of Social Media Listening (SML) kicks in.
Think where does a crisis usually start?
