Don't panic if you receive a negative review about your business. It's not necessarily a bad thing, when handled in the right way.
-
Give you the chance to publicly showcase your customer service skills;
showing potential customers that you take feedback seriously and aim to resolve mistakes
that have been made. Naturally things go wrong but what a great opportunity to
show that you care enough to resolve the issue
-
Are not always relevant to prospective customers;
a 1 star review left for a restaurant which details that the staff aren't child
friendly is unlikely to impact a couple who are looking for a quiet venue for their anniversary meal
-
Show transparency and authenticity;
would you trust a business that only shows 5 star ratings? A mix of reviews
are much more genuine and believable to any future customers
