As Customers Shift to Social Media, Companies Must Meet Them on Their Channel of Choice
Whether your business is building a social media customer service program or enhancing your existing channel offering, it’s critical to understand the channel environment and customers’ expectations for successful interactions with your business.
The open and immediate nature of social media requires organizations to re-strategize service processes to meet the customers’ needs on their preferred channel.
Providing customer service on social media brings new complexities such as:
- Faster speed of response
- Public messaging
- Regulatory concerns of sharing private information
These complexities need to be managed effectively to address the customers’ needs while also protecting the business. If done well, customer service through social media can meet the evolving needs of your customer and become a competitive differentiator for your company.
