Making The Most Of A Negative Comment Situation On Your Business Blog
Negative comments are feared and usually avoided on any business blog. And this is a waste of a great opportunity your company has to respond and turn the negative into a positive. Other readers will be interested to see how you respond and ignoring it can do more harm. The most important thing to do is be respectful in your response. Mention how much you appreciate their feedback and thank them for caring enough to voice their concerns. Then try to go out of your way to solve the problem. Figure out what happened and why they might be mad. Then you can explain what you learned and how you’ll ensure this won’t happen in the future. Remember others are reading this as well.
Unfortunately, many times a negative comment is a customer’s last attempt to contact you. They might have tried previous methods and are having one last, possibly angry, go at getting a response or solution to their problem. Often times this customer will turn full circle if the company tries to make amends. You just created a lifetime promoter of your company. So in short, use this opportunity to your advantage.
