¿Cómo manejas las quejas de los clientes del canal en línea y los comentarios negativos de manera efectiva?

Interestingly, in my research, there was a belief by the subjects in distribution to take the blame and own the failure as a means to almost create a sense of reverence. Acceptance and being apologetic come from accepting a failure that is primarily people-related errors or technological in nature where there is an absence of shame. The understanding is that user complaints are often a sincere attempt to improve things as they find the brand worthy enough to make an effort despite the periodic escalation of emotion and drama. So take the opportunity to get the feedback and work to salvage the relationship, as the folks who do not care stop using your offerings without a word.

Accept MISTAKES! In Online channels the interaction is very superficial because of reduced human interface, customers tend to get anxious because of trust issues. Therefore if the product is faulty, or delayed or wrongly shipped, best is to ACCEPT the Mistake. Replace it with NO Questions asked!!. I know some brands will say but our return rate is very high and there are few customers who manipulate the system and they need to be corrected but I say you cannot punish the serious and regular customers. There's a way to deal with naughty customers and also look at your returns rates.

This customer needs to feel we are taking care of them, so instead of dealing with questions and dates, etc., we must approach the customer promptly and privately (not the in a public message) to gather additional information to propose an appropriate solution or course of action.

In handling online customer complaints and negative feedback, incorporating proactive communication strategies can be highly effective. This involves not just addressing complaints as they arise but actively seeking customer feedback through surveys and follow-up communications. Implementing a customer feedback loop, where customers are regularly queried about their experiences and suggestions for improvement, can preemptively address issues before they escalate into major complaints. This proactive approach demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction, fostering a more loyal and engaged customer base.

It worked on Amazon India!. Once the customer returned the product and we refunded the customer with full money, we made a request to the customers with following message. " Sorry you didn't like our product and service was not upto your expectations, can we make a small request?. Now since we have resolved your issues satisfactorily, can we request that you remove your comment. Thank you for your assistance. Best". Not everybody did but a lot of well meaning customers did and it improved our ratings and also showed we care. Try it!
