It&#8217;s essentially some form of, &#8220;I do this all the time. You don&#8217;t, so trust me when I tell you what to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But that won&#8217;t work in customer service. Why? Because you don&#8217;t think you need a book on customer service, do you? But you do.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>80% of companies say they deliver superior customer service.\u00a08% of their customers agree. (highlight to tweet)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Screenshot_2_27_16,_12_49_PM\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-30777\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.convinceandconvert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Screenshot_2_27_16_12_49_PM-e1456595412103.jpg\" style=\"float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;\" width=\"400\" \/>So to help me convince readers that they needed to fundamentally change everything about their customer service and customer experience programs, I partnered with <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedblitz.com\/~\/t\/0\/0\/convinceandconvert\/~www.edisonresearch.com\" target=\"_blank\">Edison Research<\/a> on a massive study on the Science of Complaints. Just about everything in this book is backed up by serious research. These are facts, not suggestions.<\/p>\n<h3>Why\u00a0this Isn&#8217;t the Book I Thought I Was Going to Write<\/h3>\n<p>I started out to write a book about speed. My thesis was that speed is the killer differentiator in today&#8217;s right now society. But based on the research I conducted with Edison, I discovered that speed is important, but not most important.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The most important element of modern customer service is just showing up.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>About 1\/3 of all customer complaints are ignored today, and most of those are online and in public. That&#8217;s both a huge problem and an enormous opportunity. So, I wrote a book about how to make that work, for every business. <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedblitz.com\/~\/t\/0\/0\/convinceandconvert\/~www.amazon.com\/Hug-Your-Haters-Complaints-Customers\/dp\/1101980672\/ref=sr_1_1_twi_har_2?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1456594915&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=hug+your+haters\" target=\"_blank\">Will you consider buying a copy today?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Every copy of Hug Your Haters includes <strong>The Hatrix &#8211; a poster that showcases the most important data.<\/strong> And, the book includes a quick reference guide so you can easily refer back to the main points over time.<\/p>\n<h3>Why this Book is For You<\/h3>\n<p>I very carefully selected the examples, interviews, case studies, and research in Hug Your Haters so that it is relevant to all audiences.

There are big company examples, and small company examples.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s just a little bit of what it includes:<\/p>\n<p>1. The two types of Haters and what they want from you when they complain<\/p>\n<p>2. How to handle trolls<\/p>\n<p>3. How to measure customer service the right way<\/p>\n<p>4. The precise customer loyalty impacts of answering complaints (or not answering) by channel<\/p>\n<p>5. Why you need to answer every complaint, in every channel, every time<\/p>\n<p>6. A specific framework for exactly how to answer private complaints<\/p>\n<p>7. A specific framework for exactly how to answer public complaints<\/p>\n<p>8.
