Episode Intro
With this episode, we speak with Andre Cvijovic, CEO of Referrizer. Learn the essentials of getting quality reviews and the easiest way to double your client base without spending a dime. You'll also learn how you can reframe problems and have your staff take ownership in the quest for success.
Takeaways
Don't be afraid to ask for reviews
The best way for companies to reach more customers is to list their business on Google Maps. With the help of the Google Business listing, it is easy, fast, cheapest, and the most effective method for ranking high on Google through Google reviews. Send your client a link to their listing and ask if they'll share theirs. You’ll see results as soon as one month, and they'll last a long time.
Use a reputation management system
Small businesses should use something like a reputation management system that will enable them to keep going with getting quality reviews. A reputation management system works automatically with your booking software. As soon as they leave your business, you can automatically follow them up with a quick survey link to their phone number or email. Just make sure that you ask more clients, because if you don't do it, then your business may not grow.
Reach out to leads as soon as possible
To double your client base immediately without spending a dime on marketing, don’t wait. If you’re looking for a gym, and you click on a Google ad that claims to give a free week-long gym pass, you put your number, but nothing happens. But if you go to another website, you find that you can immediately sign up for a gym deal like a free gym pass or personal training session and you’ll get a callback.
See a problem as an opportunity
A challenge is never a challenge, but it is a chance run by the people involved to make things better. Just seeing it from a different angle will let you see that everything in your life offers opportunity.
For small business owners, they should ask themselves these questions: “What's good about that? How can you take advantage of this challenge? How can you use it in your favor?” After answering those three questions, you'll find some outstanding answers.
Make sure your employees own their roles
Your employees are all part of the same group, working together to promote the common good. Set an example for your team and the rest will follow. When you allow flexibility, then this gives them creative freedom to think of new solutions. They’ll think the same way as you, believing that this is their job and, and this is their company. They’ll learn to own their roles.
