Social Media Customer Care Seminar

Why Attend:

Social Customer Service has emerged as an important new frontier shaping how the public perceive a brand. The quality of care received has the potential to turn a consumer into a powerful advocate or a vocal detractor. In a world where social media channels have now become the first, rather than last, point of call for consumers with queries and complaints, the teams that respond to them need to be your most effective brand advocates. 

With practical advice from industry experts, we will discuss how to best structure, monitor and evaluate an industry leading social customer care team.  As well as looking at technology and processes, we will examine the equally important need for customer service teams to be able to convey your organisations values and your brand’s tone of voice.   

Join us to hear the first hand experiences and advice from experts at Telefonica, London Midland, Diffusion and Santander, on one of the defining challenges facing marketers and communication professionals in 2015.
