Another "PLDT reading blogs" incident

Listen to article

Mahigit limang buwan na ang nakalipas, nag-blog ako tungkol sa insidenteng "PLDT na nagbabasa ng aking blog" at bagaman iyon lamang ang pagkakataon na nasaksihan natin ang mga kumpanya na nag-troll sa mga blog para sa feedback tungkol sa kanilang mga produkto at serbisyo, ito ay senyales ng mas maraming magagandang bagay na darating. Sa likod nito ay ang kapangyarihan ng anumang karaniwang customer na ipahayag (sa pamamagitan ng pagba-blog) ang kanilang kasiyahan o kakulangan nito para sa isang tiyak na produkto o serbisyo.

Ang parehong pangyayari ay nangyari kay Alfa na nag-blog tungkol sa serbisyo ng PLDT na WeRoam. Ang product manager ay personal na lumapit sa kanya at sinagot ang lahat ng kanyang tanong tungkol sa WeRoam dahil sa isang post sa kanyang blog. Bagaman bihira lamang marinig ang ganitong mga kwento, ito ay patunay na ang mga korporasyon o kumpanya, kahit na kasing laki ng PLDT at Smart, ay matalino at nakikinig sa sinasabi ng mga blogger.

Natutuwa rin ako na ang pangunahing midya ay kumukuha na ng mga kwento mula sa mga blog bilang pinagmumulan ng balita tungkol dito. Isang klasikong halimbawa nito ay ang paglalathala ng Inq7.net at Manila Standard Today tungkol sa isyu sa Smart Wifi na tumutukoy sa mga blog para kunin ang feedback at mga komento na maaaring kumatawan sa pangkalahatang mamamayang konsyumer.

I find it commendable that a manager personally addressed the questions of a blogger/customer.

But companies should be able to address customer feedbacks from the traditional sources as well – phone and email inquiries/complaints. More over, I think they should be able to provide prompt and accurate replies.

Searching blogs/forums for feedbacks from consumers is an approach that companies will need to spend more time on sooner or later.
