What is "Best in Test"?

For regular businesses:
Best in Test offers the 3 tools all companies should use to show the world what your customers really think about your business:
1. Review tool
2. Testimonial tool
3. Survey tool.
Best in Test has been developed so that you can easily manage these 3 tools and any reviews, giving you the opportunity to contact anyone leaving poor feedback so that any understandings can be easily rectified. Best in Test is developed for the businesses, so you can keep control and manage these 3 tools.

For ASSOCIATIONS & FRANCHISE ORGANISATIONS:
The review tool: we can offer all your member locations a FREE account so they can get started with Best in Test. The head office account has an overview of all your member locations’ results enabling you to see how active your members are and their survey results. With this information, you can easily benchmark your member locations.

The Survey Tool: set up a national survey which, in one click, is sent to all your member locations. With this information, you can see how active your members are, analyse the results and benchmark them.

What makes "Best in Test" different to other online review sites?

1. Our unique iOS / Android App captures customer reviews/testimonials/surveys on location. The response rate is much higher when you ask customers face to face to review your business.

2. Review results are only calculated using the industry specific fixed questions. This ensures all companies, in a particular business sector, are tested equally and to a pre-determined standard.

3. Only your confirmed customers can rate you.

4. You decide whether to publish your review results online, using our real-time scoring banner. Having an online presence helps to create trust and can offer a valuable platform with which to interact with customers.

5. Negative feedback is not applied to your score until 14 days after the initial review. This gives ample opportunity to interact with the customer and address the issue, with a view to gaining a redress.

6. Both the customer and company can share review results via social media (e.g. Facebook).

7. Review results remain active for only 12 months. This means that "Best in Test" is the only site of its kind that ensures ratings are current and a fair reflection of the status quo.

8. The "Best in Test" platform can be utilised for additional internal evaluation testing.

9. Your company has the opportunity to win one of the coveted "Best in Test Awards” for your region and business sector.

10. The review tool: we can offer all your member locations a FREE account so they can get started with Best in Test. The head office account has an overview of all your member locations’ results enabling you to see how active your members are and their survey results. With this information, you can easily benchmark your member locations.

Can a company block or remove a test result?

No. While there is every opportunity to address a negative review before it is published (14 days), it is not possible to have a result removed (unless in the case of inappropriate or offensive language and for legal or slanderous reasons). Where the company contests a result, "Best in Test" will conduct an impartial review of the matter and take action as required. It is vital that both companies and customers are treated fairly and the integrity of the site is upheld.

How can my company be rated if I do not store customer email addresses?

You can use our "in-store" testing capability, using laptops, tablets or smartphones, to capture customer feedback. Within just 20-30 seconds you can obtain valuable information in an unobtrusive and professional manner. You can use the iOS / Android app to capture customer feedback.

What about the cost of support?

We do not charge for email support. Additionally, there are no fees for the feedback you receive from your own non-standard questions. The software is very user friendly and the online tutorials should help you through every eventuality. For companies that subscribe to the "PRO" package, there is free telephone helpdesk support.

Can anybody rate my company?

No, you decide who to ask to provide a review. You can do this via email or face to face via the iOS / Android app.

Can I use the online scoring banner for all my marketing activities?

Absolutely! We actively encourage this as a way to fully maximise all "Best in Test" has to offer. Please ensure that, when printing the banner on marketing materials, you include the date the score was achieved.

How can I win one of the "Best in Test" awards?

"Best in Test" presents awards to the three best performing companies in each business sector and region. There are also awards presented on a national level. There are two conditions that must be met in order to be eligible to receive an award:

1. Your average score is 7.0 or higher.
2. Your company has been tested a minimum of 50 times in the calendar year.

Can I share my results via social media?

Yes. It is possible to share each test result, with one click, on your Facebook page. In the future you will be able to achieve this using other social media sites.

I'm concerned about receiving negative scores, is this a risk?

All companies offer either a service or a product. They do this with the intention of providing excellence and professionalism. Positive results allow companies to validate their business approach, but negative results are a lot more powerful. They allow a company to learn, adapt and improve towards greater customer satisfaction and, by association, increased profitability and/or performance. "Best in Test" gives you 14 days to interact with a dissatisfied customer, allowing for a redress to be negotiated. There's only one thing worse than receiving appropriate negative feedback, and that's not receiving it at all - the aggrieved customer exists, whether you know about it or not.
