Maximizing Reviews from Every Visitor Interaction

Streamlining the Review Collection Process

Our focus here is to equip CrossFit Coaches and Affiliate Owners with efficient strategies for accumulating valuable reviews. These reviews serve as potent tools to augment your online presence and community appeal to potential new members.

Simplifying the process of leaving a review enhances the likelihood of collecting them from satisfied visitors. First and foremost, make sure to provide a direct link to your Google Business Profile (GBP), ensuring that leaving a review is a hassle-free experience for your visitors. 

Crafting an Engaging Request for Reviews

When asking for reviews, make sure to be clear and direct in your communication. Here’s a suggested message format that you can customize:

"Hey (Visitor Name)! We appreciate you dropping in to workout with us today! To help others discover our CrossFit community at , we’d love to hear about your experience. If you enjoyed your time, please consider leaving a review here [GBP Link]. If there’s any area we can improve, your feedback would be invaluable."

Identifying Prime Opportunities for Review Requests

Choosing the right moment to request a review can optimize your success. Consider these strategies, each offering a unique avenue to encourage reviews:

• Post-Drop-In Class: Automate a review request email shortly after a visitor's class, capturing their fresh impressions.The longer you wait to ask for a review, the less likely you are to receive one.
• Incentivizing with a Free Class: Offer a complimentary second class as an appreciation gesture, subtly encouraging visitors to leave a review..
• Leveraging the Initial Free Class: Utilize the first free class as an opportunity to solicit reviews, capitalizing on the positive reception from your generosity and quality session.
• A Universal Free First Visit: Extend the offer of a free initial visit to all, cultivating a welcoming atmosphere conducive to garnering positive reviews.

Of note, most of these methods can be seamlessly integrated into your CRM, facilitating an organized and systematic approach to gathering reviews for your Affiliate.
