One quick thing you could do is simply research your digital footprint. Search through online forums, review sites, and social media platforms like Yelp or Facebook to understand your customer's grievances. Create a business page for yourself if you haven’t already and get comfortable with using negative reviews as opportunities to make amends. Responding to negative reviews is as easy as writing a short sentence acknowledging the customer’s feelings, and then asking for their contact information to take the conversation offline. Talk to them on the phone or over email and try to make it right. Once they appear to be satisfied with your solution, ask them to update their negative review.
