With the rise of digital transformation<\/a> came the rise of the empowered consumer, giving a voice to concerns around corporate social responsibility, transparency, personalization, and immediacy.

From sharing personal stories with friends to posting reviews to filling out surveys, customers are signaling satisfaction or friction.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Brands would do well to listen and listen closely.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Carrie,\u00a0<\/span>who recently joined the 10Pearls family, shared her advice on ramping up social listening efforts in the Forbes article mentioned above. Some tips may surprise you!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
