Review Automation Can Help You Win More Reviews and Grow Your Business
One of the keys to growing a successful home services business is automation, and yet it’s something that all business owners struggle to implement.
The team at G.I. Junk Removal recognized that they were losing a lot of time asking for reviews. When they did win a review, they didn’t have an easy way to understand what led to that customer’s positive or negative experience or even which employee served them.
At this point, G.I. Junk Removal needed to build efficiencies into their systems to avoid managing their reviews manually and they knew there was lots to be gained from understanding their reputation.
To do this, they combined NiceJob and Workiz and gained 141 reviews in just 2 weeks!
