Can you remember when you had a bad experience with a company and decided almost immediately after to give them another chance? The answer, most likely, is no. Bad experiences leave a lingering bitter taste in our mouths and our likely course of action following such interactions would be to look for alternatives.
While customer satisfaction will rarely be 100%, it’s important for businesses to continually improve their efforts, especially when 73% of companies with above-average customer experience perform better financially than their competitors.

Solution
The team set up a customized dashboard on their social media listening tool, with insights segmented into 15 categories, including customer requests and concerns pertaining to each of their 80 hotels in 80 countries. This enabled the hotel’s digital managers to collect and respond to feedback posted on social media and consumer rating platforms in a timely manner.
