5 Things to Get Right in Social Customer Service
If you’re not yet responding to customer service inquiries on social media, you’re not alone, but you’re part of a rapidly shrinking list of brands. According to Social Bakers, about 62% of questions posed to brands on social are responded to. What happens to the other 38%? Nothing.
