In this episode, host Joe Crisara, America's Service Coach, interviews Cassandra Webster from Consumer Fusion for an enlightening discussion on online reputation management — an aspect of running a successful service business that is crucial yet often overlooked.
The conversation revolves around the three pillars of online reputation management, namely, review generation, responding to reviews, and handling negative reviews. Cassandra’s expert knowledge and experience in these areas provide listeners with unique insights and strategies for effectively managing their online reputations. This episode offers an invaluable perspective on how reviews, both good and bad, can shape a business's online image.
The latter part of the episode delves into the specific dynamics of negative reviews. Cassandra unveils the true role of criticism and how they serve as a wake-up call for businesses, pushing them back on the right track.
