However, a quick search on the internet reveals that many businesses in Lagos Nigeria are considered to have terrible customer service. And yet the owners of those businesses do not know this!

Wait.

Why do many business owners boast about the excellent customer support they give their customers when customers say otherwise?

Simple. It is because most businesses do not have an effective brand reputation management system.

Avoid Fire Brigade Approach To Business Reputation Management

Most large size companies have some form of reputation management system that centres around the public relations (PR) team listening to radio and TV programs to watch out for any negative reports that could negatively affect their business.

These category of companies also employ staff in their PR team to read all newspaper reports in search of negative information about their business.

When negative reports pop up in the main stream media about their company, the PR team quickly counter with press releases.

Guess what.

That is all reactive brand reputation management strategies that amounts to "fire brigade approach" or "medicine after death".

So, loads of bad online reviews will slowly kill your business.

The Role of A Brand Reputation Management Software

1) Use an online reputation management software to request product reviews from your customers within 24hrs of their purchase

2) Have a dedicated management staff read through every one of those reviews and demand action from team members responsible for fixing the issues raised

3) Ensure senior management receive a weekly report of all issues for the week and their status (pending or fixed)

4) Ensure there is a management staff responsible for ensuring all customer complaints gathered through the software are resolved satisfactory with the customers involved
