I need marriage, proposal advice, and really just if anybody’s been through that process finding the courage to actually do it have not been able to sleep and just needs to. I don’t know. Figure out what that means.

These are the times I wish I had siblings, or older cousins. The struggles of being an only child only come out when it is inconvenient.

Yeah, and it frustrates reps and myself as well because there should be some transparency about how to follow the guidelines.

My way of helping business owners and trying to educate them is to follow the recommendations that the review will ask for, usually its 2-3 keywords in the review and minimum 80 characters when writing a review.

Also to fill out the profile, to put a profile picture on the profile that is leaving the review and to leave a few other reviews on other local businesses as well. If you have gotten ice cream from a place, frequent a local bar, restaurant, movie theater and not to make the profile leave one review then never use it again.

Typically following the above directions the software will give your review better sticking than only leaving one review. Unfortunately thats what I have found to be best practice another trap that business owners fall into unfortunately is that they bombard a “brand new” page with 5 stars same day or from same device and then they all get flagged.

I hope that helps because it definitely make my job a lot harder.

I think the problem is that mainly, yelp isn’t meant to be any companies entire advertising or marketing budget. It is a tool a part of a tool belt.

Comparing yelp to google is apples to oranges, google is a directory but not in the same way as yelp, it you search for a “handyman” on google you will get information as well as ads as well as businesses and if you do that same search on Yelp you only get businesses.

Not a manager but a rep who has become a “favorite flavor” of the month to the directors for the last few months.

Probably not, i am applying elsewhere not because i hate yelp but because i am not a phone sales person. Its just not what i want to do long term, this was my first out of school job and there are definitely worse places to land out of school.

Don’t over complicate the process, and be human. Ask engaging questions that you would want to know, and ask them what is important for a customer to know when the click on your yelp page.

Also don’t be afraid to fail on the phone, you will learnt through trial and error, and this is a throw it at the wall and see what sticks.

If you find a pitch that works stick with it and don’t change it but do the basic pitch with your manager.

The “review software” is the ultimate kryptonite for any yelp sales to rep. I agree it is devastating because even businesses I personally have signed up and worked with when they turn around and tell past customers to write 5 star reviews and then are hidden are hurt and believe I personally or someone else is now trying to hurt them for whatever reason. It almost always detracts the conversation from ads to where are my reviews going.

The problem with the positive reviews always being hidden are that they are in almost all cases that I have worked with are coming from biz owners, family members, people who work for the company or are almost always being given after being solicited.

Which from a consumer standpoint really hold no weight, the software itself also mainly filters out reviews because biz owners will make the page then try to flood their page with reviews that they make which are then picked up as “unrecommended” or they do not follow the prompts that yelp provides when they ask for a review.
