In a recent article published by Entrepreneur.com titled “Get Them Talking”, Heather Clancy says “One good referral is worth dozens of unqualified prospects.” Yelp is the next Yellow pages, but completely online. It allows people to search for local business in communities across the U.S. The interesting aspect of Yelp.com is that it enables customers to review and rank particular business based on their quality of service. When a potential prospect searches for the business or industry, they have the ability to sort the listing based on ranking. Next time you interact with your customer or prospect, be mindful of how you treat them because you could be getting “yelped” at. Welcome to the next generation of referral based online directory!
