Below are Some Tips on How to Handle Negative Reviews
Calm Down
Remember to give yourself some time to calm down before you respond to a negative review. The last thing you want is to write something you’ll regret in the heat of the moment.
Does the Review Have Merit
After you’ve taken some time to relax, read through their review and see if there is some merit to what they are saying.
Always Say Thank You
Regardless of how you feel, take time to thank them for their feedback. Then offer to try to resolve the issue with them and invite them back to improve their future experience.
Learn and Improve
If they are still unhappy with you and unwilling to take you up on the opportunity to make things right, let it go. Take it in stride as an opportunity for improvement, then actually work to improve for your future customers.
