Negative Review?Stop, Drop & Roll.
![Page 21: The Do’s and Don’ts of Responding … and How to Handle with Care Reviews:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649f3f5503460f94c60353/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Remember These Steps!
Don't respond immediately. The best advice I've received is to sleep on it (although I typically lose sleep over such reviews). Waiting 24 hours can make all the difference.
STEP ONE:
STOP01
![Page 22: The Do’s and Don’ts of Responding … and How to Handle with Care Reviews:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649f3f5503460f94c60353/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Remember These Steps!
Drop the prideful, defensive and harsh response. Let a trusted co-worker or friend read through your response before posting. Remember taking the high road is rarely a bad idea.
STEP TWO:
DROP02
![Page 23: The Do’s and Don’ts of Responding … and How to Handle with Care Reviews:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649f3f5503460f94c60353/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Remember These Steps!
Roll with it. In the end, you can’t control the opinions of your clients. Attempt to mend any valid issues this person presented through their review. Keep providing the best possible service and products. Do those things and the more affectionate reviews will exponentially multiply!
STEP THREE:
ROLL03

Stop, Drop & Roll Example:Incredible Wine and Spirits, Colorado.

Stop, Drop & Roll Example:A customers one–star review.
“Bought some tequila and mix – they put both in a paper bag not designed to hold one, let alone both. As you can imagine,
the bottle broke through the bag and $36 worth of tequila crashed to the ground.”— Martine A.
![Page 26: The Do’s and Don’ts of Responding … and How to Handle with Care Reviews:](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649f3f5503460f94c60353/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Stop, Drop & Roll Example:A business owners response.
“Please accept my apologies…I can tell you this is simply what we are not committed to
do. We will be happy to refund the bottle and provide a $25 gift card.”— David D., General Manager

Stop, Drop & Roll Example:A customers updated five–star review.
“I appreciate their acknowledgement of the issue, their promise to correct it and
their generosity to make amends. A business that knows when to make
something right is worth our patronage.”— Martine A.
