The Reciprocity Method™ NewsletterOne real problem, every monthThe Win Is a Permission Slip
Every achievement is permission to attempt something harder. This month: the problem, why it costs you, and the evidence behind it.
Instead of “No problem.”
The reflex that costs you, named plainly.
“I’m happy to assist you. It is our pleasure. We appreciate you choosing us.”
Use it as written, and know why it works, so it holds when the script doesn’t fit.

The Method, wherever you scroll.
Short films, field notes and the moments that decide a reputation, every week. Follow along, comment, ask. We answer.
How we’re different
What other services sell you. What we don’t do.
Most of this category helps you ask more people. We help you see which customers you’re not reaching, and why that costs you.
Filter who gets asked
No screening step that sends only the pleased customers on to the review site.
Pay for reviews
Nothing of value is ever offered in exchange: no discount, no prize, no credit.
Ask for a rating
No star-rating asks in your scripts or templates.
Set review quotas
No review targets, no leaderboards ranking your staff.
Ask anyone to change a review
Not even after a problem is solved.
Sell you a platform
No software to install, no per-location dashboard, no sales calls.
“Zero moments? Make one, then ask.” Every customer gets the same invitation, whatever the outcome.
How joining works
Three steps. About a minute.
Confirm your email
One click in the confirmation email, so the issue reaches you and only you.
