The Most Common Oversharing Blunders
You’ve no doubt noticed the train-wrecks people create for their reputations by over-sharing on social media. Unfortunately, this lack of discretion isn’t limited to Twitter and Facebook. Here are some of the most common examples of customer service indiscretions.
- Emailing customers with bad news. The tone of an email can inadvertently offend and generate replies that are copied up the ladder; taking more time and involving more people than simply phoning. Better yet, go in-person.
- Telling the customer about your organization’s internal communication issues, lack of staff, etc. Customers don’t want to hear it and it makes you look bad for staying there.
- Complaining to co-workers about certain customers. Left un-checked, this boorish behavior becomes the norm. Customers start picking-up the vibe that they’re being regarded with more contempt than caring.
The reminder for all us is to think twice before speaking… or emailing, texting, etc.
