As a manager, you know the feeling—you spot a negative review about your company online. Your first reaction might be anger, defensiveness, or even the urge to fire back with a hostile response. But that's not the path to take.

Instead, the right move is to take immediate, professional action. Respond thoughtfully, investigate the issue thoroughly, and take steps to resolve the problem. When handled correctly, even a bad review can become an opportunity to build trust and turn a negative into a positive. But ignoring complaints can lead to bigger problems—sometimes even legal consequences.

This is the focus of this episode of The CVC Home Service Success Network. We'll discuss how to respond to negative reviews the right way—and how to use them as a tool for improvement.

The CVC Home Service Success Network is a weekly broadcast from CVC Success Group, created to share practical strategies and concepts that help managers of home service companies reach the level of success they aspire to.
