What happens when a “troll” leaves negative remarks about your business or practice online?

You celebrate.

WTH?

The fact that someone cares enough about what you said or did to leave a negative comment is a tremendously positive sign for your brand.

All great brands have haters…people who are so opposed to what you’re standing for, they just can’t resist making their voice heard.

Assuming you’re not saying anything hateful or ridiculous, having a portion of the marketplace against you, gives those who stand with you something to put their passions behind.

Don’t confuse everyone loving your brand for not knowing or even caring about you.

On this episode of Life By Design For Chiropractors, we tackle trolls and how you can actually use their comments to help grow your practice.

The reality is, you can do everything right…

Create an extraordinary business, deliver a VIP experience to everyone, care about your customers, get results, become the best darn chiropractic office on the planet and you could STILL get a bad online review.

For better or worse, online reviews come with the territory. If you’re operating a business in “modern” times, you should and likely do have an online presence.

An online forum or review sites like Yelp, Google and Facebook are all platforms designed for your customers and prospects to interact with your business, which includes leaving their deepest thoughts and experiences for the rest of the world to read and make their judgement about.

Sometimes the reviews are simply the rantings of an apparent lunatic who has never even been to or remotely close to your office. What can you do about those? Not much, they typically speak for themselves and your possible clients can recognize that too (hopefully).

In other cases, you or your team made a tiny omission, a misstep, or some miscommunication. It happens. Address it like a good business owner and move on.

Far worse are the reviews that just might be…well, true. I know that stings a little (or a lot). Sure, you may have a different side to the story, but somewhere along the way you or your team made a mistake.

How do you handle each of these unique situations without escalating the problem and disqualifying 1000’s along the way?

That’s exactly what we cover on this episode!
