But you can prepare yourself before one happens.<br>Here\u2019s what you should do when a crisis hits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Monitor your brand in real time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t deal with a situation you don\u2019t know is happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Brian and Reese\u2019s reactions worked because they responded quickly.\u00a0<a href=\"\/?page_id=22974\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Set up alerts<\/a>\u00a0for your company, product, and related keywords to receive mentions as they happen. React immediately to stop one negative mention from turning into a full-blown <a href=\"\/en?page_id=62291\">brand crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easier to change the conversation while it\u2019s still getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Listen to and act on feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People want to feel heard and understood. Trying to argue will just create tension and anger them more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redditors were angry that Brian was monetizing what they do every day for free. Reese\u2019s buyers were not happy the chocolate trees look nothing like trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither of them tried to argue with the comments. Instead, they listened to and acknowledged others\u2019 opinions, which helped open up the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Choose the right conversations to join<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes you need to clarify things when people are misinformed. Sometimes you just need to listen, especially if the conversation is purely emotional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, Brian would reply to every negative comment &#8211; until he realized some people argue just for the sake of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people just want to be haters. Focus on people you can reason with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;Not every negative mention requires a response. Some people just want to be haters.&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Speak your audience\u2019s language<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t connect with people speaking like you\u2019re at a corporate press conference. Represent your brand, but speak like a person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each platform has its own language. Adapt your tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re on Linkedin, be more serious; On Twitter and Facebook, use more images and be more fun; Cut out the fluff and corporate speak, and use lots of movie references on Reddit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Treat every interaction as an opportunity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything you say shapes your brand perception. How you answer an angry complaint shows your values and personality. It\u2019s also a chance to win your audience\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brian\u2019s conversations with the negative comments helped him win Redditors\u2019 respect, and scored him a client. Reese\u2019s fabulous response led to positive social media and press mentions, and even more love for their peanut butter cups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Tweet &#8220;A 5-step process to deal with a brand crisis via @joeei&#8221;]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Relax. And breathe.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A brand crisis sounds scary. And when one happens, it\u2019s hard to know what to do. But if you\u2019re well-equipped with the right tool and process, a negative story can be a great opportunity in disguise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you have other brilliant ideas to handle these situations?
