        Issue still stoppable with a proper
                    crisis handling
Shitstorm Scale: How bad is it?

•   0=Everything alright
•   1=scattered criticism from a single person, no media attention
•   2=repeated criticism from a person, only one channel affected
•   3=persistent criticism, slop over other channels and platforms
•   4=forming of a protest group, many platforms involved
•   5=extensive blog entries and follow-up-articles in online medias,
      increasing interest to common medias
• 6 = Disaster. Maximum shitstorm with attention not only to the
      Internet but also a top theme in the common medias
How to handle negative Feedback
                    Do’s
         • Swallow your pride and be honest to yourself
         • Stay calm and wait to answer until you have a clear head
         • Re-read the message and consider its validity


                   Don’ts
• Never delete bad comments            Because it is first of all already in the www and
                                       secondly the customer will be even more irritated and
                                       continue attacking you

• Don’t start arguing with customers   Because the customer becomes, again, more irritated
                                       and will find followers – you would be on the best way
                                       to risk a shitstorm

• Don’t ignore comments                Because appropriate responding is an opportunity to
                                       demonstrate excellent customer service
Case Study “Nestle”

  alleged role in the illegal clearance of rainforests

    to the comments?
               Sarcasm and
            childish behaviour


            Arguing and playing
                the victim

                 Offencing
                individuals
