Too many bad reviews on Yelp! or Amazon ?

Don't suck.

It's pretty simple...

Don't suck.

We live in a very different world.

Brands may be scared of Social Media, but it's changing business and it's changing consumers. Brands are transparent (whether they're leading the charge on this or their customers are doing it for them). Too many brands are worried about dealing with customer service in Social Media and not worrying about the root of the problem: people are not loving whatever it is that they are selling. It's time to innovate. The choice is simple: use these channels to try to fend off the angry hoards or use these channels to build, connect, share and grow.

The challenge is this: don't suck.
