LISTENING In 2005, Dell was brought to its knees by

bloggers who posted customer service complaints.

As Dell outsourced its technical customer service, customer complaints also increased. A 2005 Google search for “Dell customer

service problems” returned nearly 3 million links.

Dell initiated several blogs in multiple languages to handle customer complaints and to have conversations with stakeholders about problems and actions to fix them.
