re: Your Online Reputation

It only takes a few clicks (or swipes of a thumb) for people to form an opinion about your business. And that translates to…

...gained or lost sales.

...gained or lost followers of your brand.

...gained or lost job applicants.

Whether it is reviews on Google and Yelp for local retail, Amazon and Walmart.com for products, or Glassdoor and Comparably for employers, online reviews matter. Stars precede dollars. Reviews are the currency of online success.

Your star rating and total number of reviews instantly shape perceptions and reinforce a purchase, or cost you a sale.

😈 NEGATIVE REVIEWS CAN DAMAGE YOUR BUSINESS 📉

🛒

PRODUCT SALES

⚠️ Sales can cut in half on Amazon when ratings drop from 4.3 to 4.2-stars.

⚠️ Most consumers won’t engage with a product with less than 3.3-stars.

🏬

LOCAL BUSINESS

⚠️ 1 negative Yelp review can cost you 30 customers.


⚠️ 49% of consumers need at least a four-star rating before they choose to use a business.

💼

EMPLOYERS

⚠️ 1 in 3 declined job offers in the U.S. are influenced by negative employer reviews.


⚠️ 57% of job candidates avoid companies with negative employer reviews.

👉 YOUR ONLINE REPUTATION EXISTS 👈

If you acknowledge it or not.

If you care about it or not.

If you manage it or not.

That's why it's crucial to protect your online reputation.

🎲 DON’T LEAVE YOUR SUCCESS TO CHANCE 🎰

Optimize your reputation and online reviews for...

ANY product listing 🛒

ANY business profile 🏬

ANY employer site 💼

Having a proactive plan to foster a healthy online reputation in an authentic and genuine way leads to extremely positive outcomes.

😇 Optimized reviews can grow your business 📈

🛒

PRODUCT SALES

💰97% of shoppers are influenced by customer reviews.

💰 Sales can double on Amazon when ratings increase from 4.2 to 4.3-stars

💰 Sales increase by 44% when increasing from zero to two hundred product reviews

🏬

LOCAL BUSINESS

💰 Eight of 10 shoppers visit review sites, like Yelp or Google, before visiting a local business

💰 Guests will pay 35% more for a hotel with a 4.4-rating on Tripadvisor over a 3.9-rating .

💰 A one-star increase in Yelp rating leads to a 5-9% revenue increase

💼

EMPLOYERS

💰 92% of working Americans consider employee reviews when deciding to apply for a job.

💰 A 1-star Glassdoor improvement equates to 7.8-18.9% higher stock market valuations.

💰 Candidates are 6X more likely to move for a job based on culture than a $10K pay increase

I’ve spent the last decade optimizing online reviews across the largest platforms including Amazon, Google, Glassdoor and dozens more.

Through those years, I discovered a simple four-step process that made review optimization (almost inevitable)

🔥 Using these 4 steps I have... 🔥

🛒

PRODUCT SALES

🏆 Optimized reviews for products that became #1 category best-sellers on Amazon and Walmart.com.

🏬

LOCAL BUSINESS

🏆 Driven brand reviews to 4 and ½ stars across sites like Google and Consumer Affairs.

💼

EMPLOYERS

🏆 Won best place to work awards with employee reviews on Glassdoor and Comparably.

This model works and has been thoroughly tested in a wide variety

of industries, at small start-ups and with global corporations...

...And it can work for YOU!

This model is called The Review Cycle.

So what IS The Review Cycle? It is a 4-step model of decision-making. Such decisions include everything from what we buy and where we eat to what doctor we use and where we apply for jobs. I named the book after this model.

Unlike traditional sales models that are linear in nature,

…The Review Cycle accounts for the cyclical nature of decision-making.

Here’s what it looks like.

Whether deciding what to buy, where to eat or what job to apply for, we as consumers start in phase 1. Consideration. We consider making a decision and explore the options.

When we find one option of interest, we go to phase 2 and engage with OGC (organizational generated content). This is a company’s website, a product listing or employer profile. It’s content you as a business created.

If that looks good, we progress to phase 3 and validate our decision with UGC (user generated content). This is online reviews, Q&A’s, social media posts from influencers, unboxing videos, and any content other consumers share.

Feeling good with the opinions of the online community, you buy the product, go to the restaurant or apply to the job. You make your decision and enter the post-decision phase. The lived experience you have with the product, brand or employer directly impacts the next related decision when you enter phase one again.

Seems intuitive right? But how does this help you fortify your reputation, drive sales and create better experiences?

It doesn’t.

Unless you act

In my research, I’ve uncovered the elements of influence you can have on each of these behaviors to engineer better experiences and drive sales. These are the proven steps to master your online reviews.

I designed The Review Cycle© model to highlight these elements of influence you can have on consumers at each of the 4 stages of decision making.

Your impact is referred to as elements of owner influence. The “owner” is you, the person or organization attempting to affect the consumer. These elements of influence live within the center of the model as found here:

So where do you start?

It seems backwards, and it is on purpose, but you start with phase 4: Ask for reviews.

To fuel every element of The Review Cycle, you first collect reviews and this coincides with the post-decision phase. Chapter 3 has specific tips for collecting more reviews and achieving better ratings.

Once you start collecting reviews, you want to respond to them. This showcases the high level of care you have for your customers and directly increases purchase intent.

I’ve personally responded to over 5,000 reviews and in chapter 4 of my book, I share proven ways to approach this unique showcased communication.

With many reviews now coming in, you want to harvest insights from what customers have shared. This data can be used to reverse-engineer better customer experiences and marketing messages. Chapter 5 teaches you all about qualitative and quantitative data analysis for your reviews.

With all downstream touchpoints optimized, your last element of influence is marketing with reviews. Studies have shown ads with reviews convert better at lower costs. Why? Because consumers influence consumers more than you can. In chapter 6 you’ll learn to strategically identify the right reviews to use in marketing to supercharge your sales.

Launching The Review Cycle will build momentum for your reputation and your business. Using The Review Cycle consistently over time will maintain your reputation, sales and customer satisfaction at the highest equilibrium possible.

Uncover your potential with optimized reviews.

Five stars for this insightful analysis

As the founder and CEO of a startup consumer product company, this book is exactly the kind of guide we needed to understand the world of reviews and the effects they have on our success. The 3QPD (cupid) rule seems so obvious, but in looking back at our responses as a company, we were falling short. This book not only has great ideas but is backed by thorough analysis of the world of reviews. I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about your business's reputation.
