In the world of business, it’s a word that inspires fear to many companies that don’t know how to deal with failure and prefer to go on with the same old practices, rather than change their strategies and overcome disaster. It’s maybe the word that defines giant companies like Wal-Mart, which is known as the world's largest company by revenue and the world’s biggest retail corporation. These kind of companies are known for their capacity to adapt to the constant cultural and technological transformations of our era: for example, in 2015 Walmart suffered its worst stock decline in more than 27 years , after a series of major strikes demanding higher wages ended up with a series of reformations that made their market shares to fell approximately -33% , wiping out nearly $20 billion in the company’s market value.

The problem that comes with being a seller is that you are often faced with a tough choice when you receive negative feedback – Should you take a hit and move forward? Or should you fix that by trying to get more positive feedback? The thing is that positive feedback looks good on your seller profile, and also provides you a boost in search rank. But, boosting your positive feedback in any way that is not organic is against amazon’s policies. And, if you remember what we have always told you, you probably remember this – You are inside amazon’s walled garden, and here, you must abide by their rules or be kicked out. You probably don’t want the latter, so you’ll have to play it by the rulebook. Even then, there are a few things that you must always remember, even if you are playing it safe, and here they are. 1.     Do not contact your friends or family and ask them for reviews.      When you signed up as a seller you have signed an agreement with amazon which means that you are abound
