How to deal with them?

We must start from the idea that if we are a company and we find a person like that, what it seeks is to show the brand as something bad. That is why we must be very aware of them and take the appropriate measures to transform it into something positive. To do this

• We must not go beyond the comment or delete it. Most likely, you will rewrite it and confirm that we want to hide your opinion.
• We must turn it into an opportunity to demonstrate, to the rest of the users, that they have enough arguments to defend themselves against this type of comments. For this we must:
  • Be respectful and never respond in the same ways.
  • Question you and offer solutions to your comments. Offer the attention that should be offered to a dissatisfied client but prevents him from involving the rest. That is why it is usually advisable to move the conversation to a more private environment (email or phone)
  • You should not start a discussion but try to be cordial. It seeks to solve the problem and ensure that the brand continues to have a good image. It does not seek to be right.

If in spite of this, the tone is still hostile and unkind. If it is observed that it only seeks to provoke or harm the company, the best option will be to report it to the social network that we find and block it immediately.
