"People seem hesitant to tap"
Solution: Focus on the 10-second promise. Say "literally 10 seconds" and count on your fingers. Make it feel effortless.
"My team forgets to ask"
Solution: Create visual reminders. Put a small sticker on their name tag or order pad. Make it impossible to forget.
"We get taps but no written reviews"
Solution: Prime them better. Instead of "leave a review," say "share what you loved most" - this plants the seed for written content.
"Reviews aren't mentioning specifics"
Solution: Guide them subtly: "Would you mind mentioning [specific dish/service/person] in your review? Others always ask about it!"
"Customer seems unhappy but fixable"
π Golden Opportunity: This is your chance to create a superfan! Fix their problem with genuine care and attention. Once they're genuinely happy, ask for that review. These "recovery reviews" are often your most detailed and powerful - they tell a story of a business that truly cares. The formula: Problem β Solution β Happiness β Glowing Review!
"Momentum died after week 2"
Solution: Refresh the challenge. New rewards, new competition, new placement. Variety maintains energy.
"Negative reviews increased too"
Important: This means you're asking neutral/unhappy customers! Remember: Fix issues first, then ask happy customers only. Quality over quantity protects your rating!
