When a client is upset over network downtime, I’ve found that the best way to ease their frustration is by responding with empathy and clear action. First, acknowledge the issue—show that you understand how it’s impacting them and that you’re taking it seriously. Then, outline the steps you’re taking to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again. Finally, don’t disappear after that—stay in touch with updates so they know you’re fully engaged and committed to resolving the situation. What’s worked for you when handling unhappy clients?

Key points already provided by other contributors. I would add 1) Response time is crucial 2) Provide as clear and realistic of a timeline as possible 3) Make sure that customer knows that it is highest priority and best minds working on addressing the issue 4) Keep them updated 5) Sometimes worth sharing details of the incident (what went wrong, how will you prevent it from happening in the future) 6) Let the customer know that they contributed to your knowledge base by breaking your system in new and creative way

Transparency is massively important, along with consistent messaging across all channels. You should be open with your customers about downtime and how long you expect it to last for, along with any reasons. This narrative should extend across all marketing channels including social media channels. Individual responses to questions should be provided, or redirection to a 'customer-wide' post somewhere. This should be the same for all channels and updated when the issues have been fixed. Often, online commenters just want to "be heard" so replying individually can be beneficial, even if it's just a redirection to the formal update. Put yourself in your customer's shoes and understand their frustration. Empathy is key in your TOV of posts
