what is customer service using social?

• customer service over social channels

– social media = channels

– service = service

– customers = customers

• in reality, it is a knee-jerk, tactical reaction to customers enjoying the power of social channels to complain, done badly (for the most part…)

why do you have to worry?

• social customer has power, a voice, and demands

• potential savings that talk to your real need – save money in servicing the customer

• new channels must be served, the experience continued

• it’s the future, there is no turning back

how to do it? cross-channel
