Proven Solutions

One of the most frustrating things in business is the sad reality of CRAPPY REVIEWS and no testimonials about how happy your customers have been.

Crappy reviews hurt your business, employee moral, and cost you potential customers! Few businesses want to ASK FOR Testimonials... or just don't know how. 

Bad reviews are sometimes tough to deal with, especially when you're really doing your job honestly, ethically, and well... providing services to the best of your ability, but the results are something a few people just aren't happy with, and struggle to accept. 

Times Have Changed

Thirty years ago, it was estimated that an unhappy customer will tell 10 people about the poor product or service he or she believed they received, and will ultimately cost you at least 100 potential customers (clients or fans). Maybe less, seldom more; but that is what we call 'history' and EXTREMELY OUTDATED STATS. With the invention of technology, the internet, social media, and KEYBOARD WARRIORS the number of people that can 'hear about' BAD reviews are THOUSANDS to potentially MILLIONS!!

Today, the generation of passive-aggressive attitudes that grew up in the 'I want what I want... NOW' are often implusive, knee-jerk reACTING, expecting cheap and immediate gratification. Especially if it involves technology. They each have computers and smart phones,  and really know how to use them.  Facebook, Twitter, Yelp, Google Reviews, and the variety of other passive options can be used to COMPLETELY TRASH YOU! Many don't allow bad reports to be removed, regardless how false, wrong, mistaken, or emotionally charged they might be.  Ripoff Report and Consumer Affairs are about the only ones you can 'at least' respond to (but still can't remove them). 

The average unhappy customer can reach hundreds to thousands, quickly and easily with passive activism.  If they are real smart, pro-active, and their story is good, well presented, it can reach tens of millions in the blink of an eye. (See "United Broke My Guitar" by Dave Carroll Music... it's gone viral, in the billions of views... complete with TV and speaking appearances, videos of the song, and even a book). For those that haven't seen it, the video is at the bottom of this page, as an example of what an unhappy customer truly wronged can really do to the company that doesn't step up and take responsibility for the wrong(s) committed.

Bad Reviews

Are a common problem among many types of businesses...

especially those that provide specialty and/or after hours services, which are usually more expensive than 'regular' services during 'regular hours.' People often forget that most regular people get 'time and a half' or 'double time' for odd hours, weekends, holidays, or when they have to deal with things they can't really talk to others about. Often, there is already an emotional spark, which required services outside 'normal hours.' Therefore, the customers that bother to write a review usually either LOVE or HATE, with few middle ratings. Thus, those type of businesses seem to get a slew of either 5 or 1 ratings, with few in between.

Economic Analysis

Most review services are what they are, and you can't delete, remove, or change them... no matter how wrong, rediculous, misguided, or vindictive a reviewer is. Sadly, a bad review can last years... even when ownership or management changes, or the problem was solved (or non-existent).

The potential clients that bother to research a business, their product or service, tends to look at the RATINGS, at the complaints, the negatives. 

A business with a 4.xx★ rating gets attention, more business... and ultimately makes more money, even in a less convienient location, than a competitive business with a 3.3★ rating.  Some people don't bother reading the reviews, they just see the ★ rating... and potentially 'out of xxx' people, and make their decision. 

The problem is WHO gives reviews. Often it's only those who respond with emotional extremes, either 5's or 1's; which can really skew things unfairly.

It's simple math, sum of the stars divided by the number of reviews, equals the rating. A singular 5+1=6, divided by 2 (number of ratings), will equal a 3 rating. That is all those looking at the reviews will see. At the same point, a couple real happy customers give 5+5 ratings, but one gives the lowest 1 rating. The total is =11/3= producing a 3.6... even though you had twice as many high ratings, made even worse if your one unhappy rating wasn't fair, reasonable, honest, or correct. In another example, 5+5+5+1+1+1=18/6=3

While it's impossible to make EVERYONE happy aLL the time, we really do have a viable option to help deal with the extreme negatives, the unfair, old, odd, revengeful, and really wrong reviews that have no true basis... and even eliminating the negatives after a reasonable time period, when things have changed, improved, management or employees are different. With this resource, you can honestly gain some power, control, and rational in your reviews in the future. You don't have to be stuck with negative reviews forever.

Business Solutions

Imagine allowing ratings to accumulate, but being able to eliminate the words. 

Imagine being able to eliminate bad ratings over time, or immediately, if you're sure you weren't wrong... and the customer really is being unreasonable, unfair, and spitefully harmful to your business without cause.

Wise Business

If you deal with the public, you make sure the floors are clean, the shelves are dusted, all the product is faced, and your staff is clean and presentable to the public they will be coming in contact with. 

Everyone in your business dresses appropriately, presents themselves professionally, and ultimate tries to please your customers. Because, ultimately, it's that customer that helps pay the bills... the pay checks... and allows you to remain in business. 

It's one thing to have an unhappy customer, but with the power of the internet, those passive agressive unhappy customers you'll likely never see again can quickly trash your business reputation with bogus low ratings for what ever reason.

It's not fair, but it's become a common part of life. 


“You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time."  ― John Lydgate

Even eBay figured out that unhappy customers are just a part of doing business, AND, that negative reviews shouldn't be used to vindictively punish their buyers without good cause, or their sellers forever!

With ReviewTrust, there is a similar set of options you can take advantage of, empowering the business... encouraging good, honest, ethical business practices... and it's too inexpensive to ignore... and honestly, encouraging your good customers to give you reviews and testimonials can be a major challenge. This can really help, especially if you utilize the 'polite email campaign' that is available. 

Like What We Offer?

The Power can be IN YOUR HANDS... and ON YOUR WEBSITE!

The 'clock started' the moment you entered this site.

After 25 seconds, in the lower left corner of this window, our 'Review Trust' block appears... you should be able to see it by now (if you've been on the page for at least 25 seconds).

The colors can be changed (we picked the light blue). The actual placement of WHERE the pop-up happens is also definable (by you - the website owner) to either the Top, Bottom, Right or Left side, or any one of the four corners. You can also define the amount of time it takes to 'pop up' on a users window (seconds or minutes). We figured it would take about 35 seconds for the average person, actually reading, to get here.  

If you click on that pop-up, you can leave us a review. The domains using this tool can politely request, encourage, steer, and gather reviews from their visitors. 

Go ahead, give it a try...

Business is Redefined

The power of the AGENCY License, allows you to have multiple ratings... not just for your 'over all business' - but also for individuals, key products, or even specific services.

Flexible Rates

Seriously, it's CHEAP & Easy to start!

For just less than a cup of coffee a day, you can get your toes wet... and get a taste of the power of fair, honest, and trustworthy reviews. 

You can have the power that Google, Yelp, Facebook, and the other common business rating gathering sites, just won't give you... and display your actual reviews from your actual customers on your website within moments. 

Insurance Policy

If you have a business rating that average less than 3.2 stars, then this is a no-brainer! And really a MUST HAVE for any business - product or service!

Did you ever wonder who the person that just left you a 1★ rating was?
Or wonder what the heck they were even talking about? 

Maybe you responded, but either they didn't say anything more... it was posted annoymously, or they attempted to make mountains out of mole hills? 

This PROFESSIONALLY PRESENTED, PRIVATELY HOSTED, THIRD PARTY application can be added to any website. Whether Word Press, HTML, Bootstrap Mobile, or all other common development platforms, so long as you can add a string of HTML code to your page, you're good to go. 

The 'great ratings' (4's & 5's) will be quickly approved (usually the same day). The low ratings (1's and 2's) can be put on hold... verified, and even removed if necessary. 

Reviewer's words can be just opinions, seeking praise, testimonials, or constructive criticism. You can even allow the 'customer' (client/fan/person) to include 'before' and 'after' pictures... or even a video, if you so choose.

Market Outlook 2018?

Tools like this are helpful now, but necessary to help prepare for the next down turn (which we hope is at least 30 to 50 years from now). Monetizing existing customers has always been important, but it is even more important now! It's far easier to keep existing customers than being forced to find new ones.

It's not terribly difficult, but a bit tougher than just opening a page to edit. If you understood that and are still interested, then I'm sure you'll be able to deal with the setup and code processing without any more of our help.

"Insufficiently trained employees, in spite of their best intentions, produce inefficiencies, excess costs, unhappy customers, and sometimes even dangerous situations. The importance of training rapidly becomes obvious to the manager who runs into these problems."  — Andrew S. Grove (High Output Management) 

It takes 20 positive experiences to make up for one unresolved negative experience resulting in a 1 rating.
Simple math (20x5=100+1=101/21=4.80 rating) ... that SINGLE '1
★' rating took that company from a solid '5' to something less real fast. A second 1★ rating in the above example drops them to a 4.6 rating. 

Let's say one person was so angry, they talked 10 of their friends into also slamming the company. The math is now: (20x5=100+(11)= 111/31= for a 3.58 rating. The reality is there was only 1 unhappy customer, with 10 friends (or other email accounts) hell-bent on making you pay for the wrong they feel (right or wrong). Sadly, that type of game can really harm most small businesses, costing them very real money... and customers in the future.

Reviews Matter, even for Your Business

You can read the details of the broken guitar story here  At the end of the first day the number of views totaled 150,000 and three days later on July 9, it had amassed 500,000 hits, 5 million by mid-August, and April 7, 2011 it received 10,233,487 views! Today, just over eight years later, this 'negative' has spawned into a funny music video that has really had billions of views, mentions and displays on the TV, speaking deals, books, articles, and thousands of mentions on websites (like this one)... all because the customer wasn't treated right, fairly, or as they believed they should be. This is just one example of how irresponsible customer service and failure to take care of your clients, can really backfire! There are thousands each year, though only a few reach millions of people... IT DOES HAPPEN! And those negatives tend to travel a whole lot faster and further than positives (as they are EXPECTED).
