Conversation management is where you, as a brand, interact with your current and potential customers. The interaction you have with them on social media channels, but also via live chat communication, messaging apps or chatbots, is all part of conversation management.
Often, people also throw around words like web care, community management, social care, social listening, etc. But whatever you call it, customer contact is important at every stage of the customer journey and is essential in presales and aftercare. But it also gives you the opportunity to build customer loyalty from within the customer journey. In short, conversation management is indispensable and can bring immeasurable value to your brand – if you do it right. More on that later.

Customer questions, complaints, compliments, suggestions. No matter what your interaction with a customer is about, thanks to conversation management, you can get to know more about the needs, habits and demands of your target audience. This information helps you improve or even expand your service, but it also gives you input and inspiration for new website or social media content. Because the topics that return are important to your customers. Besides, it’s important to monitor messages that speak of the brand, as well – not just the messages directed towards the brand. This kind of reputation management is why a conversation team can get a feel for the overall brand sentiment among (potential) customers.
Don’t play hard to get in conversation and community management. You need to be there for your customers because digital conversations are always ‘on’. All social media channels, all day, every day. The connection to a brand grows when customers know they can rely on you 24/7. This allows you to not only deliver a service: your customers can even become loyal ambassadors for your brand.
Active conversation management pays off. Pretty much all social media platforms reward businesses that interact with their followers. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or LinkedIn. The algorithm makes sure your social content is more prominently shown.
