2 KINDS OF NEGATIVITY
1. Comments or content on social networks

- If not addressed, can scale to an ‘issue’
2. Online reputation ‘bombs’
- Affects reputation and sales long term
- Can severely damage a business and scales quickly

9 MAKE MONITORING MATTER
Go beyond the 101 of monitoring – don’t just put it on autopilot
Assure you’re monitoring visual/audible as well as text
Incorporate monitoring reports into marketing conversations,
decisions on a regular basis
