Negative Review?Stop, Drop & Roll.
Don't respond immediately: Waiting 24 hours can make all the difference. Sleep on it!
STEP ONE:
STOP01
Drop anything that might sound argumentative or defensive; this can make matters worse. Let a trusted co-worker or friend read through your response before posting.
STEP TWO:
DROP02
In the end, you can’t please 100% of people, 100% of the time; issues will arise. Work to mend any valid concerns and roll with it knowing you did all you could.
STEP THREE:
ROLL03
