For many years, to receive and hear words of praise or thanks gave me an awkward feeling. It was always unexpected. I may need therapy.
In our line of work, receiving POSITIVE feedback can be far fewer notes than receiving negative feedback. Common feedback, "My flight was cancelled." I didn't get the King Bed or the view, my room smelt funny" I know we try to be perfect, and create the 'dream' our clients want, however we aren't always able to achieve this.
Feedback in any business is important. This episode will help you get feedback and use it to your advantage.
You love what you do. I know that. It's not a job, it's a lifestyle, it's a passion.
To hear something back in return is really nice but can also be confronting. Taking the negative feedback is much easier than taking the positive ones. Why? This is because we care. And sometimes, these nice words about you and your business may take you onto a back foot as well.
In this episode, we will be talking about testimonials. It’s really the same as feedback. I will be showing you how important client feedback is to our businesses and how we can get it without the stress surrounding a ‘testimonial’.
Today’s episode will be guiding you on what to do and how to get some of these "good stories" and feedback from your clients.
