Recently, a Tesla owner unable to find a spot at a local charging station tweeted about fellow consumers hogging spots and keeping their cars parked at the supercharger even after their cars had finished charging. CEO Elon Musk took the feedback seriously and personally responded within minutes, promising to take action.<\/p>\n

Just six days later, Tesla announced the following policy on its official website:<\/p>\n

“We designed the Supercharger network to enable a seamless, enjoyable road trip experience. Therefore, we understand that it can be frustrating to arrive at a station only to discover fully charged Tesla cars occupying all the spots. To create a better experience for all owners, we’re introducing a fleet-wide idle fee that aims to increase Supercharger availability.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s not surprising that Tesla is Consumer Reports’ 2016 #1 auto brand ranked by owner satisfaction. As Richard Jhang, CIO, Hyper Growth Business at IBM Global Business Services declared, “Idea to execution in 6 days. Copy that.\u201d<\/em> Smart brands understand that Twitter is the place to be if they want to provide real-time customer care online, and customers love it because companies are held accountable on the public platform.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Respond Fast\u2014Especially to Complaints<\/strong><\/p>\n

With social media\u2019s 24×7 availability, any problem or unresolved customer service issue is broadcasted and discussed aggressively on social media, creating potential havoc for any organization (not to mention the ulcers given to customer service managers). Therefore, how quickly companies can collect and convert customer data into insights and act on it is critical\u2014Twitter is a real-time network, and users want real-time responses. In fact, Search Engine Watch reported that 70% of surveyed Twitter users expect a response from the businesses they reach out to on Twitter, and they expect it fast\u2014within an hour. Jet Blue, who sometimes responds to customers within 10 minutes of a complaint being posted, is a good example.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Rapid response, however, is only part of the battle. Customers have little tolerance for generic answers and expect a company to quickly understand and resolve their specific issue. When consumers don\u2019t get an answer from a company on Twitter, 81% don\u2019t recommend that company to their friends.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to\u00a0Sprout Social, in Q1 2016 the average number of social messages requiring a response grew 18% year over year. The rise in social customer services means more businesses will look to increase their customer service resources by automating simple customer requests (e.g. chatbots).<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Real Time Data Enables Real-Time Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historically, surveys have been viewed as a tool for information gathering and data analysis (and they certainly are). But with real-time alert features, surveys can help capture dissatisfaction and stay on top of performance; you don\u2019t have to wait for \u201clater\u201d to take decisive action. You can respond to a situation immediately based on a survey participant\u2019s individual responses.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always been important to address customer concerns, but gone are the days of disgruntled customers complaining to a few people. Upset customers complaining publicly on social media require an immediate response.\u00a0Sogolytics’s\u00a0\u201cRules and Alerts\u201d feature allows you to set up rules based on certain criteria including when a survey response meets a condition<\/strong>.
