96% of consumers regularly look at reviews when purchasing a product or service they’ve never bought before.

So simply put, online reviews will help your business be more successful and are clearly proven to improve customer retention, attract new leads and reduce acquisition costs.

How to easily gain more reviews

This needs to become a habitual part of your business. Every time you complete a successful interaction with a new customer, you should request a review!

But this can be difficult for a number of reasons:

You or your staff just forget.
No one is sure whether it should be on Google or Facebook or somewhere else.
Is there a painful login to do so?

Thankfully, there are some very well-established review platforms out there and we're proud to work along with Reviews.co.uk

From our experience, they offer an outstanding product, which allows easy collection of reviews, simple and clear integration on your website (so others can see them), and intuitive management for you as the business owner.

What to do if (when!) you receive a negative review

Every business gets it wrong now and then. Or maybe your customers just think you did! What then?

Time for some slightly philosophical goodness. Take a breath. Every company sooner or later gets that scary 1 star rating. It may or may not be warranted and it's probably a rarity. After all, if you were rubbish at what you did all the time, you wouldn't have a business, would you?

Take it as either an opportunity to learn from your company's mistakes or to help your misinformed customer. Be nice. Reply promptly and professionally, offering to call or email to learn more.

Helping someone change their opinion of your business from a negative into a positive builds trust and can result in a very loyal future advocate for your firm. And it will make you feel good too.

You may now resume the lotus position.
