I had the pleasure to speak with Jay Baer for our new “Expert Interviews” series on YouTube.

Jay is a renowned business strategist, keynote speaker and the New York Times best-selling author of five books who travels the world helping businesspeople get and keep more customers. He recently wrote a fantastic book on social media customer service called Hug Your Haters.

Now, I don’t say this about many books, but Hug Your Haters is a “must-read” if you are involved in customer service in any capacity. Because today, if you’re in customer service, you’re in social customer service — one way or another.

Hug Your Haters is a ‘must-read’ for social media customer service.

In the interview, Jay digs into social customer service, talks about Hug Your Haters, and shares some great advice for those, particularly small business owners, who want to improve their social service game.

In fact, Jay even discusses a topic which (as he told us during his interview on the Crack the Customer Code podcast) he wishes he had included in the book.

A few of the topics we cover:

How can small businesses approach social media customer service.
Why customers confronting companies via social media is natural.
What to do if you’re catching up and have never responded to reviews.

Make sure to check these and other great points from Jay in the video below.
