It’s Part 2 of our conversation with go-getter Rachel Carlson, Yelp Pittsburgh’s Community Director. In today’s episode, Rachel talks about all Yelp has to offer.Many of us are curious about what’s a great spot to go to around town. This also goes for other types of business or services. Rachel has found her dentist this way, and has only great things to say about him. You cannot write reviews of your experience without first signing up, which is simple. Once you are signed up, you are officially a yelper, but if you just browse the site Rachel considers you a “creeper”.“We absolutely want it to be an organic experience.”What’s The Big Idea: Rachel’s dedication to showing business owners their free tools on Yelp, and how it can help their business.Business Tool or Tip: Use the social avenue that is in front of you. It could be Yelp, Facebook, Instagram, of Twitter. A great tip for pitches is to have a three sentence email; give a complaint, address what you need, and an action item.Hit The Bulls Eye:Ice cream: Antony’s Ice CreamPizza: Pizza TaglioCraft Beer: Grist HouseWings: Mount Lebanon SalonCoffee: Big Dog CoffeeHot New Pittsburgh Restaurant: B52 CafeRachel Carlson’s Social Media:@YelpPittsburghLinkedinFacebookAudible is offering a free download with a 30-day trial to give you the opportunity to check out their service.
