Catch Layne's Roundtable
Round Table Topic: Your 5-Star Facility: How to Get More Reviews
Host: Layne Peterson - StoragePug
Day & Time: Monday, October 13 from 4:00 - 5:00pm
These days, nobody buys anything without reading a review first. Storage is no exception. One of the very best ways to stand out in a crowded market is to get as many positive reviews as possible–but sometimes, that can feel like an uphill battle. In this roundtable, we’ll talk about our favorite, well-tested strategies for getting more reviews and how to use those reviews to get more business. We’ll cover:
- How to get more reviews
- How to respond to negative reviews
- Wha to do with positive reviews
