  2. Case Study: Zappos mala.sarat.chandra@gmail.com

  3. Case Study: Pottery Barn Customer couldn’t get the store’s customer support to help. She posted her frustration on the PB wall and got instant response. Offline service must be as good as online response. mala.sarat.chandra@gmail.com

  5. Social Media Customer Service and Support The New Reality. Customers control a brand’s reputation, not the company. The Media tends to report and amplify poor customer service stories. Social Media can make dissatisfied customer stories go viral quickly. Social Media requires rapid response to customer feedback. Why companies hesitate in adopting social media. Legal risks. Potential loss of employee productivity. Entrenched views of support as a cost center. Organizational structure and “silo” culture. Immature, disconnected software technologies to support collaborative, social support and service delivery. The need to prove the business value of social media. mala.sarat.chandra@gmail.com

  6. Social Media: Customer Satisfaction impacts business results. Customer satisfaction raises revenue and lowers costs. Acquiring a customer costs 5-7 times more than retaining one. An increase in customer retention of just 5% can boost profit 25-85%. A “very satisfied” customer is 6 times more likely to repurchase than a customer who is just “satisfied”. Loyal customers tend to be less price sensitive. Dissatisfied customers tell 9 people on average. Social media has the potential to amplify this nine many times over. A dissatisfied customer whose problem is resolved quickly and painlessly is more likely to be loyal than one who never experienced a problem. mala.sarat.chandra@gmail.com

  7. Social Media: Customer Care can generate Sales DellOutlet sells on Twitter but listens and responds to customer comments and complaints as well. Best Buy’s Twelpforce initiative allows employees to answer customer questions on Twitter as they come in. mala.sarat.chandra@gmail.com

Engage a community manager to moderate conversations. • Limiting communities just to deal with customer service ands support issues Valuable insights for product development and testing, sales opportunities and lead development. Budget issues quash social community building initiatives Effective and convenient way to keep in touch with customers, learn from and respond to needs and issues.
