Mo’ Reviews, Mo’ Problems?
“If you suck, people won’t refer or review you.” My good friend Brodie Tyler jumps on this episode of Million Dollar Strategies to talk about the necessity of online reviews. While many entrepreneurs will attempt to generate a system that fabricates the perfect five-star review, Brodie explains the flaw in this thought process.
You can’t generate a review without a quality product or service. While Brodie’s service, RevenueJump, can help you get more digital feedback on your business, there’s never a guarantee that this will pan out the way you want it to. That’s why finding a barometer for expectations and then going above and beyond in every interaction is the best way to ensure that the reviews you receive for your business are sparkling.
I know what you’re thinking: “That’s great. Now tell me how to get more reviews.” Well, tune in and Brodie will tell you how.
Key Takeaways:
- There’s not a whole lot you can do to fight a negative online review, but you can find ways to embrace it.
- You’ll never be perfect in reviews. There’s always someone, at some point, who will leave a less than glowing review.
- Referrals aren’t free.
- The best way to generate internal reviews about your company from employees is to create an amazing environment.
- Take care of your employees, and the reviews will take care of themselves.
- It’s important to be proactive in the reviews you do receive, both good or bad.
- Find people who have your customers and generate mutually beneficial relationships.
- Failure is just as important as success.
- The marketplace dictates whether or not your product/service is relevant.
- Make it as easy as possible for clients to refer to you.
