We also want to capture any potential clients using our social media & knowing the right words to say & questions to ask is vital. If you encounter any negative comments you will need to hide their comment in a timely fashion. This prevents anyone else from seeing it, but it still appears to the user who wrote it, so that they do not write it again. If you receive a negative message notify the Marketing Director & do not respond.
In addition to responding to any comments/messages you will need to check any likes of our posts. On Facebook you will need to "invite" anyone who liked the post to follow our page, if there is no option to invite them it is because they already follow our page. On Instagram you will need to go to the profiles of anyone who liked our post and like their most recent photo as long as it does not clash with our Brand values and there is no questionable or explicate content in the post.
