- Reviews skew toward extremes: people who are very happy or very angry are most likely to leave feedback.
- Michelle notes neutral experiences often go unreviewed, so proactive asks can capture positive middle-ground customers.
Ask Directly With Simple Phrasing
- Ask directly using simple phrasing like Would you mind leaving us a review?.
- Use a short follow-up: If you're happy with the service we provided, it would be really helpful if you could write a review.
