#176 - Josh Kelly gets REAL about getting more Positive Reviews

Josh Kelly is the CEO of RevuKangaroo. Unlike other review sites, RevuKangaroo has created a custom API that allows you to install our system directly on your website. The look and feel are consistent with your current website design. Your customers would never know it is a RevuKangaroo product; instead, they will only see you and your employees. RevuKangaroo has a unique system that collects reviews on your employees' service rather than customers rating your business directly. This typically leads to a more significant increase in reviews written, and they tend to be more positive.
In this episode of the Be Real Show, Josh and Travis open up the show discussing how he became an entrepreneur. Parker and Sons is a family business, Josh worked on their marketing and blew up the company. His goal was never to become an entrepreneur; he found a need and decided to create a business out of it. The name RevuKangaroo just fell into their laps because it was so difficult to find a URL with "review" at a reasonable price. The reason you need RevuKangaroo is because everyone who is searching for your business will be making decisions based on reviews online. If you have too many negative reviews online, Josh says you shouldn't even bother having a website. RevuKangaroo uses lots of different methods to get their name out in the world; there is not one silver bullet to build a business. Then, Josh explains the three ways to make money: raise prices, get customers to spend more frequently, or get new customers. Stay tuned to hear Josh answer the top ten questions, including why he doesn't waste time with social media.
