If you don't have a written Strategy to Deal with Negativity on Social Media
at some stage this seemingly small area of weakness
will undo the positives
of your Social Media Campaign .

  • At what Point does Negative Social interaction on Social Media become counterproductive for your Business ?
  • Which Customer Discussions would create a more effective Win/Win Solution for Business/Customer if they were done through DM's ? And which Discussions are better dealt with Publicly ?
