Mistakes to avoid
Error | Why is it harmful
Delete comments | The more upset the customer is, the more others will feel "hidden"
Public argument | Lost image
Blame the customer | "You used it wrong" — loss of trust
General apologies | If you don't get to the point, customers will find it fake
Promised then failed to deliver | Customers have more bad news
