Guidelines for Business Reviewing Customers
At MyClientScore.com, businesses are invited to rate their customers using a star-based system. This system allows you to give an honest assessment of your interactions with customers, based solely on your experience. The goal is to ensure fairness, sincerity, and accuracy in your ratings, helping create a trustworthy environment for both businesses and customers.
1. Rate Based on Real Experiences
Only rate customers based on genuine interactions and actual business experiences. Your star rating should reflect how the customer behaved or performed during the transaction, not based on personal assumptions or external factors unrelated to your business relationship.
2. Keep It Fair and Balanced
Your rating should be fair and proportionate to the experience you had with the customer. If the customer demonstrated positive behaviors (e.g., timely payments, professionalism), give them a high rating. If there were issues, your rating should accurately reflect the challenges faced but remain reasonable. One bad experience shouldn’t disproportionately affect the overall rating.
3. Use the Star System Properly
The star rating system is designed to be simple but meaningful. Businesses may only rate customers using the star system; written comments or additional feedback are not permitted. Please use the following guidelines when assigning a star rating:
- 1 Star: Reflects poor performance or behavior (e.g., late payments, unprofessional conduct).
- 2 Stars: Indicates a below-average experience, with noticeable issues that impacted the interaction.
- 3 Stars: Represents an average experience, with both positive and negative aspects.
- 4 Stars: Indicates a good experience overall, with minimal issues or areas for improvement.
- 5 Stars: Reflects an excellent experience, where the customer was prompt, professional, and easy to work with.
4. Be Honest and Transparent
Your rating should reflect your true assessment of the customer’s behavior, without embellishment or exaggeration. If you had a positive experience, give them the appropriate rating. If the customer presented challenges but wasn’t entirely problematic, give a fair rating that reflects that.
5. Do Not Use Reviews for Personal Reasons
The rating system should not be used for personal grudges or as a form of retaliation. It is meant to assess the customer’s business-related behavior. Avoid letting personal opinions or biases influence your star rating.
6. Maintain Professionalism
Your rating should remain professional and impartial at all times. Even if your experience with a customer wasn’t ideal, it’s important to keep your ratings constructive. Avoid using extreme language or ratings unless the customer’s behavior was genuinely unacceptable.
7. Do Not Manipulate Ratings
Do not engage in any practices that involve manipulating or inflating ratings. The system will detect that and your business account will be banned.
8. Report Misuse or Suspicious Activity
If you come across a rating system that you believe is being abused (e.g., fake ratings or manipulations), report it immediately. MyClientScore.com strives to maintain an honest and transparent review process, and it’s important that everyone plays a part in keeping the system fair.
