If the mention is a bad one, the team will attempt to connect the unsatisfied party with a GM representative who can help resolve the issue.<\/p>\n<p>The revelation underpinning the team&#8217;s formation is that &#8220;GM has found that its customers have higher satisfaction with the company if the automaker is proactively looking to help people.&#8221; Shocking, we know. It began last summer with another 50-person squad &#8211; among GM&#8217;s five call centers &#8211; just doing web chats with people shopping for GM products. After that, five people were pulled together to monitor Facebook, et al to gather references to anything GM.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone can be helped, naturally, such as the woman griping about her 100,000-mile Cadillac on Twitter. But the fact that GM is reaching out to customers to proactively address issues&#8230; well&#8230; did any of you see that coming? And it&#8217;s going so well that the five-person will be expanded come April. Go GM. Finally.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freep.com\/article\/20100325\/BUSINESS01\/3250387\/1210\/business01\/GM-tries-responding-to-online-gripes\">Detroit Free Press<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/26\/report-gm-scouring-internet-for-customer-complaints-and-respond\/\">Report: GM scouring Internet for customer complaints and responding<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 26 Mar 2010 16:01:00 EST.
