You're facing a viral negative review online. How can you turn the tide in your favor?
Remember, Feedback is a GIFT. Responding quickly and apologizing for the "negative" experience are critical. Be sure to: 1. Respond Quickly - acknowledge the issue and thank them for making you aware. Move the conversation offline if possible. 2. Leverage Positive Customer Experiences - encourage happy customers to share their reviews/testimonials 3. Show that you are focused on Continuous Improvement - even the best brands have room for improvement and you cannot fix what you don't know. So, no matter how painful the review, thank them for telling you. Now convey your commitment to fixing the problem and ensuring a better experience for other customers.

Through the generosity of Logility, I was introduced to The Empty Stocking Fund in 2008. I love the tangible way it serves more than 50,000 children each year. Please consider getting involved too -- You'll love it! Here's more about our mission: The Empty Stocking Fund empowers parents and guardians of children living in poverty by providing them with an opportunity to give their children gifts at Christmas time. We have been bringing holiday cheer to metro Atlanta’s underprivileged children since 1927. Each year, the generous contributions received from thousands of Atlantans along with local businesses and foundations enable us to provide gifts for tens of thousands of children from birth to 12 years of age living in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale counties. By the Numbers ▪ Children Served: 50,000+ ▪ Items Distributed: 200,000+ ▪ Volunteers: 4,000+ ▪ Average Cost of Gift Packages: $20.00 ▪ Counties Served: 9 ▪ Full-Time Employees: 2 (It's remarkable what these two employees do to serve our community!)
