MYTH: Most Yelp Reviews are NegativeFACT: Nearly 80% of Yelp Reviews are 3-Stars or Higher
Distribution of All Reviews
Negative reviews play an important role too:• A variety of experiences are consistent with real life• You can’t please 100% of your customers 100% of the
time
1 Star 13%
2 Stars 8%

Negative Review? Stop, Drop & Roll.
1. Stop - Don't respond immediately. The best advice I've received is to sleep on it (although I typically lose sleep over such reviews). Waiting 24 hours can make all the difference.
2. Drop - Drop the prideful, defensive and harsh response. Let a trusted co-worker or friend read through your response before posting. Remember, taking the high road is rarely a bad idea.
3. Roll - Roll with it. In the end, you can't control the opinions of your clients. Attempt to mend any valid issues this person presented through their review. Keep providing the best possible service and products. Do those things and the more affectionate reviews will exponentially multiply!
