Creating Effective Social Customer Service

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Social media and mobile use are closely linked, which means customers are more likely to connect with businesses for customer service when it suits them. Customers prefer social media for contacting businesses because they can multi-task while waiting for a response. This gives customers more control over the communication channel, so businesses must have a plan to manage expectations and engage with customers on their terms and in the social media platforms they frequent. In this course, you’ll learn about the importance of using social media for customer service, the changes brought about by social customer services, and how companies are adapting to this new way of addressing customer issues. You’ll also learn how changes in the behavior and expectations of customers have impacted customer service and become familiar with the advantages of social customer service for businesses, gaining an understanding of the importance of other digital tools to support your customers. Finally, you’ll explore the challenges of social customer care and the strategic approaches that you can implement to improve customer service. This course was developed in partnership with the Digital Marketing Institute.
