![Page 13: Twitter for Business take 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070317/5564a49ed8b42ab8278b57b6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3 types of CSR tweets
• Direct-negative• Direct-positive• Non-direct
![Page 14: Twitter for Business take 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070317/5564a49ed8b42ab8278b57b6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Direct-NegativeUsers are reaching out to you-engage them for help, ideas, or just to fix the problem. Users want a solution in this case
![Page 15: Twitter for Business take 2](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070317/5564a49ed8b42ab8278b57b6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Direct-PositiveUsers are happy! Thank them for their support, and ask if they have any feedback-this is a free focus group!

Non-DirectThis needs attention right now. Stand up, go to your computer, and fix it. This person wants to vent and rant-can work against you in a big way
