Want to negate the distrustful phrases customers use in their reviews? Go through your list of objections one-by-one, creating a solution for each. Then, when you ask customers for reviews, tell them about how you\u2019ve defused their objections like this.<\/p>\n
\nHey Jan,<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Customers told us they were worried about our vacuums. That they wouldn\u2019t be able to keep up with Hoover or Dyson products. 97% percent of them stated they were pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n
Was that the case for you or was your experience different?<\/p>\n
Would you share your story with us?<\/p>\n
You\u2019re amazing!<\/p>\n

When customers say yes, you follow up with a brief five or six question survey to get all-star reviews.<\/p>\n
Customers Will Write What They Want Anyway<\/h3>\n
\n
Why bother?<\/p>\n
You conduct a survey and ask questions only to have customers write what they want in the review anyway. What\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the concern, right?<\/p>\n
True, but that\u2019s only a concern if they<\/em> write the review. If you ask for a 3 to 5 minute phone call they\u2019re far more likely to say Yes. You ask for their permission to record the call, then, when the call is done you transcribe it.<\/p>\nYou send an automated email out asking them to share their thoughts as a review, like this:<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the beautiful part. Thanks to providers like Twilio you\u2019re able to programmatically record, store and transcribe calls. It\u2019s a process you can automate or semi-automate.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s No Reason to Accept Distrust Lying Down<\/h3>\n

As business owners, Amy and Samy Bouzaglo behaved terribly. Their threatening attitude, blatant dishonesty and unwillingness to change doomed their business.<\/p>\n
As we\u2019ve seen, their behavior created outrage and distrust. They were completely oblivious to the damage. The words and phrases customers used in their reviews extended the damage to their business. People reading these customer reviews believed Amy and Samy to be untrustworthy (which they were). They were oblivious.<\/p>\n
But you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve read this far you\u2019re in-the-know. You know the secret behind customer distrust. You\u2019re able to find and fix the damage negative phrases leave behind. Want trustworthy reviews from all-star customers? You have what you need. Start small, work consistently and you\u2019ll slowly develop the trustworthy reviews you crave, no nightmare necessary.<\/p>\n
