If you’re a business but not on social media already, then you need to be. If you already have social media presence, it’s important that you are active and responsive.
Social media is an extremely important customer service tool—in fact your most important customer service tool these days—here’s why:

You’ve got your feedback, but what does it really mean? More often than not, an organisation will analyse customer feedback, pick the most common denominator and seek to fix the problem quickly. If this is you, unfortunately, you are doing it wrong.
Implementing the insight from research into your Customer Experience strategy and acting accordingly is a different story. Just because your satisfaction levels have fallen may not be due to a faulty product as first predicted – you might need to look a bit deeper to discover that actually, the customer service hasn’t been satisfactory or the website is too confusing when purchasing items.
Whatever it may be, the common denominator doesn’t always mean it’s right. So, the data is in front of you, but what next?

When customers have a bad experience, they’re often more connected to how they FEEL about it, than the issue itself. And in the age of social media, it’s a good bet they’ll vent those feelings publicly and create a ripple effect you want to avoid. That’s why it’s business-critical to pay close attention to every touch point. If you can spot negative impacts early on and come to the rescue quickly, you have an opportunity to turn painful customer experiences into loyalty moments.
Consider human nature… When customers have a negative experience, what may resonate most is helping them feel heard, reassured, and valued. The more you do that, the more their frustration may dissolve into relief and even delight.
So, how do you do it?

Collecting customer feedback right now might come across as a no-brainer; however, all the companies do this task to a greater or lesser extent. The majority of the businesses spend thousands on setting up several customer feedback channels, namely, emails, surveys, live chat application, rates, and reviews.
Is that worth it? Yes, it absolutely is, if you are aware of how to act on the customer feedback that you receive.

Surveys might be undermining every customer experience improvement you’re trying to implement. While that may sound counterintuitive, according to a 2016 study of customer perceptions by CEB (now Gartner), 75% of customers agree that their survey experience influences their overall impression of a company ("Closing the Customer Feedback Loop," Gartner's CEB Leadership Council). In short, customers see their survey experience as a component of their customer experience; it’s another touchpoint that impacts their overall relationship. Yet, the increasing ease with which surveys can be created (sometimes without regard for best practices or sound research methods) has led to an ever-increasing number of feedback requests — threatening the quality of those survey experiences and potentially eroding companies’ brand image or increasing customer friction. As a result, organizations must reflect on their survey practices and ask, “How do we adapt to effectively capture customer feedback while improving the customer experience?”

I think McDonald’s approach is to be admired and the company’s commitment to its customers is unquestionable. However, like so many areas of business, technology offers new approaches today. Why not collect direct, honest and real world customer feedback about each branch? That’s a line of development we’ve been pursuing at Trustpilot for some time now. It’s possible for consumers to leave a review on our platform and for it to be tagged back to the store or branch where that service experience took place. In some industries, such as estate agency, a handful of our pioneering customers have gone a stage further constructing integrations that map reviews back to the individual estate agent serving that customer.
