LISTEN FIRST
" Monitor conversations about your brand
Reach out quickly and approach individuals directly
" Observe the competition’s conversations
Jump in only if it’s appropriate and play to your strengths
" Elevate supporters, pacify critics
Listen for signals - address both positives and negatives
