Every business owner will experience this in their business: a bad customer review. I have spoken to and coached many small business owners who get extremely upset by this and many times do not know how to handle it or respond. This week’s blog will share some tips about receiving and responding to bad customer reviews.
As we dive into this topic, keep in mind that you as a business owner are not perfect. Your team members and you company are also not perfect. There will come a time when you have a less than happy customer, and it is your responsibility to try and make it right.
Please also keep in mind that there are two types of negative reviews. The first is a negative review where your company dropped the ball and screwed up. The customer writing the review is speaking truthfully about this and venting and sharing their frustration. The second type of negative review is from a customer that is never happy, never was happy, and never will be happy. No matter what you did to serve them, the dreaded one-star review would have been your only outcome.
As you keep the above in mind, here are some tips on how to address and respond to these reviews:
Remember as you venture into business, you will face negative reviews. Use them to show people who you are, what you stand for, and how you handle situations when you screw up. Let your company’s values and personality shine through.
Remember three things:
I love you.
I believe in you.
You got this.
Now, go get it!
