Using Facebook as a Customer Care Channel

Be Polite When Referencing People
Politeness is the key here. Effective customer management is
possible through the behaviour of your lead representative on Facebook. When
posting responses in your official channel, make sure you are polite,
understanding and caring. A wrong step taken can cost you the entire reputation
of your brand.
Give a Detailed Response

Always try to give a detailed response to all the customer
queries. Keep the conversation going on the wall and continue the conversation
until the customer is satisfied. With every response, a notification is sent to
the customer which allows him/her to benefit from your response.
Limit Your Marketing

When addressing the needs of the customer, be helpful and
work towards solving the needs of the consumer. Limit your marketing strategies
as customers hate that in times of need. Your best gain is the satisfaction of
the customer.
Deliver a Faster Response

Customers are always happy when they receive an instant
response from the customer care department. Hence, it is a better approach to
deliver a faster response to the concerned customer and make him/her happy. One
thing you must remember while responding is that understands the query well and
provides a summarized response which helps to resolve the customer query
instantly.

Continue Longer Conversations via Email
If the conversation is between you and the customer is going
too long then it’s better to continue the remaining conversation via email.
This would help the customer understand the necessity more clearly and easily.
You can send a notification to the customer via Facebook that you are willing
to continue the conversation via email and this way you can proceed further.
Accept Your Mistakes and Remain Honest

If you have made a mistake on your part then have the
courage to accept it and specify the reasons for it in a polite manner. Healthy
conversations happen in honest environment; hence you must remain honest
throughout the conversation. This would definitely enhance your reputation and
build trust in the mind of your customer.
Respond to Negative Comments Professionally

It’s more likely that many of your customers would post
negative comments on the official wall that may harm your online reputation. In order to prevent this, you must handle these situations professionally and must
address the customer politely and make him/her correct the misunderstanding
that had crept into the minds of the customer. Having a cool mind under these tense situations solves most of the issues.
