Be The Digital Fly On the Wall
“Social media plays an important role in customer experience management”. At the same time as monitoring your customer’s experience you have the ability to improve it for the benefit of both your customers and your business. With the huge amount of organic conversations taking place day in, day out, social media allows businesses to turn data into research opportunities and to be aware of faults in your business from the customer’s perspective – if there are any!
A company’s relationship with its consumers is often more important that the sole principle of the business. Without your consumers, your business would not exist or at least be anywhere near successful, so paying attention to your customers really matters in today’s world.
