Social media and the internet in general have allowed us to grow our audiences and amplify our message; these tools have allowed us to connect with customers and community members in real-time.
But what happens when things go wrong? When a complaint goes viral? When what is perceived is not the truth?
Don't let these "what-ifs" prevent you from harnessing the power of social channels, though. This session will share proactive tips on how to prevent social media push-back (such as establishing monitoring procedures), and dive into what to do in scenarios of varying degrees of crisis and sensitivity, from a one-star review to a negative news story.
