Learn how the reputation management game has changed due to COVID-19 and what you should do to address this in your business.
Your customers are researching businesses online more than ever and reviews are a huge part of their decision-making process. As the lockdown ends and business opens up again, many contractors are asking themselves a few key questions:
- How do we use social media and review sites to publicize that we are open for business and prepared to operate safely?
- What’s the best way to manage our customers’ expectations on changes based on the new normal?
- How do we train employees to ask for and respond to reviews?
