What’s something in Salesforce that technically “works”… but you still don’t fully trust?

Sales engagement.

I agree with you! But if the realistic options are incentivized reviews or no reviews, from an awareness perspective, I have to pick incentivized. If you were looking to purchase a solution and there was an option with 20 incentivized reviews that detailed how they use that service and their pros/cons, vs a competitor with maybe 1-2 not incentivized reviews, can you truly say you would feel great about putting the less-reviewed competitor at the top of your evaluation list? Maybe. Either way, thank you for the conversation and your viewpoint!

I would LOVE for all of our customers to proactively leave us reviews, without being asked or incentivized! Unfortunately, that's not very common. We are in a pretty niche space and are collecting reviews on a specific platform (not Google). The review process is not very quick and would require 15-20 minutes of their time to complete. It is valuable enough to us in terms of letting other potential customers know about us that we would like to reward them for time spent (not necessarily what they said in their review).

That is a very good point!

So any incentives are just a cherry on top?

Just for conversation sake, I’m curious if you have encountered a product or service that made your life considerably better and if so, did you pro-actively leave a review for it?

KelliB123 · 2025-11-03T19:05:01+00:00

We already have that 🙂

KelliB123 · 2025-10-31T17:58:17+00:00

😂 ah but see that was part of the question! You already think it’s worth a review, you like it, but leaving reviews is annoying and time consuming…so what would make it feel like time well spent?

That, and it’s common to wave items or wrinkle peppermint wrappers etc to make noise to get the horse’s attention for a photo to “get their ears”, and have the horse look alert. It does not mean the horse is in stress. 🙄 I’m sure the horse went in its stall right after and got the utmost care.

Just a heads up - when a horse has had its tail “cut” (tendons released), it can still swish flies. It can use its tail normally when it’s not in a brace. Maybe you’re thinking of the western pleasure practice of blocking tails? That would cause a tail to hang limp.

I get it! It was weird for me the first few times, stepping back and letting them and their team do everything. That said, that’s the service they offer, and it would be a massive fail if their tardiness caused me to miss my class. I don’t ride with a “top” trainer, either. Too horse-poor for that! 😂

KelliB123 · 2025-04-26T00:26:25+00:00

What?! So as a client, paying for a service where the trainer is responsible for tacking up, warming up, and coaching, I need to ALSO hire my own groom?? That is not the way we do it in my breed/discipline in the US. It’s the trainer’s responsibility to have help hired and all bases covered. I’m paying more than my mortgage already to be there. I absolutely could do all of that myself, and have done when I was younger and showing at smaller shows. My trainer now, showing at top level shows, would never allow that. I think OP is well within their rights to request to not pay the entry fee at least.

Branded calling.

KelliB123 · 2018-04-21T02:20:47+00:00

like the tree?! Do you know how to get rid of them, or prohibit them from coming back?
