Always wondered how much they make. You must need some mega views/ followers to earn something? Was watching a documentary on McDonald's vs Burger King and they had food vloggers who would eat from McDonald's and Burger King and then give their review on the food. Seriously who would watch a food vlogger? Especially on a £3 burger? Its easier to just buy one and try for yourself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCC 31 Posted September 23, 2019 We usually email a week after to check all ok, IF it is then we ask for review and send a link to AT site. If it’s not then we sort the issue then ask for review after it’s fixed. A few bad reviews and people will get nervous, I certainly do when booking/buying stuff.

Huggins 17 Posted September 24, 2019 I find the whole review thing very hit and miss. Most people swear blind they will leave a review and then don't. I did wonder whether AT were blocking them some how as I do spot adverts rather than the full dealer pack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.T 39 Posted September 24, 2019 More importantly how do you stop or get rid of fake reviews, the last two one star reviews I've had on Google have in my opinion been fake. "Was looking at a BMW on carnival day and got screamed at that I couldn't afford it by some woman on the premises. I bought one elsewhere. Lower mileage better price." Firstly there hasn't ever been a female working here, and secondly I didn't speak to this woman that left the review as I remember the Carnival day and quite clearly she never bought a car from me. She also left a one star review for a local Sainbury's and one for a local pub because they weren't open at 11am on the dot!! I got my own back on her though as she'd stupidly left a five star review for the company she works at, so I returned the favour! The other one star I got just says this: "Offer silly prices." I hadn't sold this guy a car either, and he had left a five star review of another dealership that he'd bought a Nissan Juke from just two months previously. It's a real kick in the teeth when you work 7 days a week and sell hundreds of cars a year to mostly satisfied customers, and then anyone can just sully your business and reputation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is BHM is that customers read those reviews, as I've had a couple of people recently mention them. So I wonder how many people might have been put off by those reviews.

It's actually a not bad idea look at all the celebs who say they no longer use social.

Mojo121 229 Posted September 24, 2019 If you really really want to have a customer leave you a review and you want to ensure that they do it with minimal fuss or chasing from you a trick I always always use is to sell them an absolute rotter of a car and ignore their calls.
