#youFAIL: Respond Or Die In Social Media

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
Kirk Skodis, Trustworthy
Description:
We’ll make sense of best practices and answer the burning questions about responding to people who talk about your brand (personal or company) in social media. No lofty platitudes, just in-the-trenches advice and actionable tips from people who do it every day.
Questions
Answered:
  1. What’s the best way to react to a “Twitterstorm” of complaints?
  2. Should you ever argue/defend your position? If so, how? If not, why not?
  3. Does speed matter? Is your response time within 5 minutes? 1 hour? 24 hours?
  4. How are people drawing the line between response and “stalking”?
  5. How do you respond to praise?
  6. Under what circumstances should you NOT respond?
  7. Why do all “Twitterstorms” happen on a Friday night? And what can you do about it?
  8. How can you turn-around an unhappy person?
  9. Does monitor/response require large teams? 24 hrs/day?
  10. What are other ways to respond (Dominoes video, Zappos sends flowers)?

UPDATE: The man behind @MiramaxFilms, Andrew Lin has agreed to be on this panel. If you saw him speak at the Digital Media Summit 2009, you'll remember his cut-through-the-BS style. This guy is in the trenches every day for Miramax, backed up by years of marketing experience at indie film studios like Fox Searchlight and Paramount Vantage.

UPDATE: Planet Hollywood's girl behind @phVegas, Brandie Feuer, has agreed to be on this panel. Brandie is easily the most customer-focused and engaging corporate Twitterer in Las Vegas, blazing the trail with @LuxorLV before moving to PH.

UPDATE: Scott Monty, Head of social media at Ford Motor Company, has agreed to be on this panel! The man who needs no introduction, @ScottMonty has practically written the book on social media response best-practices. His exploits at Ford have provided tons of case studies for Trustworthy, and we're honored to add him to this all-star panel.

Now, we just need your vote!

UPDATE: Frank Eliason, Senior Director, Comcast National Customer Service - AKA @comcastcares, has agreed to be on this panel. I've heard Frank speak on several occasions and I can't wait to get his perspective on the day-to-day nitty-gritty of social media response. Frank and team at Comcast are truly leaders in the space.

Wow. What a line-up!
