To help many of you move away from your fears of reviews is Karl Schwantes, who joins PPMP Podcast to reveal so many gold nuggets about client reviews, you’ll be sitting on a goldmine by the end of the episode.

In this episode, you’ll hear Karl discuss Allied Health business owners and their relationship with reviews.

• Putting yourself in your client’s shoes, why you shouldn’t be asking for a clinical outcome testimonial and what to ask for instead, and how to properly respond to reviews (including negative ones).
• 
  
• The importance of showcasing what you do on the internet, not having the mindset of being “the best kept secret”, and reputation marketing – how to leverage your brand reputation on Google.
• 
  
• Optimising your Google Business profile, focusing on the patient experience, and the “Happiness Window” – Karl reveals the perfect time to ask people to leave a review.
