How to Manage Your Yelp Reviews and Improve Customer Experience
Towing professionals operate under a constant spotlight. Whether it’s Motor Clubs, Yelp, or other social media platforms, every customer interaction is judged, rated, and shared. And in today’s digital age, one bad review can erase the impact of 20 good ones.
Negative reviews cost real money—leading to fewer Motor Club dispatches, lost direct calls, and damaged trust in your brand. Beyond the financial impact, bad reviews also create unnecessary stress and frustration. Customer experience is not just about your reputation—it directly affects your bottom line and peace of mind.
So, how do you take control of your Yelp reviews and online reputation? The answer: by managing your employees.
Clear Policies = Better Customer Experience
Many towing company owners believe they have a clear vision of how they want their customers to be treated. However, that vision often isn’t effectively communicated to their employees. Without clear guidelines, staff members make their own decisions, which can lead to inconsistent service and customer dissatisfaction.
The best way to prevent this? Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
Your SOPs should be written, reviewed, and reinforced to ensure every employee understands exactly what is expected of them. Key areas to document include:
✅ How to greet customers—First impressions set the tone for the entire experience.
✅ How to deliver pricing and billing news—Transparency reduces disputes and negative reviews.
✅ How to handle complaints or difficult customers—A structured approach prevents misunderstandings.
✅ How to communicate with Motor Clubs and law enforcement—Professionalism matters at every level.
If you want your employees to follow a standard, that standard must be documented and enforced. Otherwise, you’re leaving customer interactions to chance.
Consistency = Great Yelp Reviews
At Towing Forward, we’ve built our reputation on consistency. Even if you don’t have Standard Operating Procedures, we can create them for you. With operations in 17 cities and handling over 40,000 calls per month, we’ve developed rock-solid processes and call scripts to ensure flawless execution of your standards.
When you partner with us, we don’t just follow generic best practices—we follow your preferences. Once we establish what you want, we execute it exactly that way—every time.
Training = Great Yelp Reviews
Having written procedures is one thing. Training employees to follow them is another.
At Towing Forward, we’ve invested heavily in process documentation and staff training, and it pays off in the results our clients see. Every dispatcher we hire goes through a multi-week training program before taking live calls. This ensures they are:
✔ Trained on your preferred tools, software, and dispatching methods.
✔ Familiar with your service area, so they can make informed decisions.
✔ Prepared with scripts and procedures for every type of customer interaction.
To ensure absolute consistency, we’ve also developed proprietary technology that gives our dispatchers real-time, on-screen guidance. This system ensures they follow your policies—even in high-pressure situations—so that customer interactions are always handled the right way.
Experience = Great Yelp Reviews
Many dispatchers struggle with confidence, leading to errors, delays, and poor customer experiences. At Towing Forward, we take a different approach.
By handling tens of thousands of calls per month, we’ve built a system that allows us to:
🔹 Train new dispatchers gradually, ensuring they master each part of the job before handling full dispatching duties.
🔹 Ensure only our most experienced staff make critical decisions on truck and driver assignments.
🔹 Enforce your policies and procedures without exception, every single time.
This structured approach not only delivers great Yelp reviews for our clients—it also reduces operational stress and improves overall efficiency.
