So, read on to learn how to encourage someone to give feedback. There are plenty of options, but we’ll touch on three different ones with different contexts attached.
I’m Willing to Learn From Your Criticism [Feedback From Recruiter]
It’s hard to take a rejection well. But it’s all about learning and developing yourself every time you’re rejected.
In this case, let’s say you received a job rejection email. It’s good to use a formal and respectful phrase to reply.
You can use “I’m willing to learn from your criticism” in response to the recruiter. It’s a good way to ask for feedback after a job rejection.
Generally, this should give you some clarity as to why you didn’t get a job.
From there, you can decide to work on the parts of yourself that weren’t up to scratch.
You never know; it might help you secure a job in the future with no issues! It just depends on whether you’re willing to take the recruiter’s criticism on board!
Here’s a great email sample to also help you understand it:
Dear Michael,
I certainly appreciate you writing to me to let me know I was unsuccessful. I’m willing to learn from your criticism if you have anything to share.
All the best, Sara Rooney
I Value Any Feedback You Can Give Me [Feedback From Colleagues]
You should use “I value any feedback you can give me” when you want to ask for feedback from your colleagues.
It’s a friendly and sincere phrase, showing you’re willing to learn from your peers.
Generally, phrases like this work well when you trust your colleagues. The more you trust them, the easier it is to let them give you feedback [that you’re actually going to listen to].
You can also use it when asking for feedback from your manager.
It’s friendly enough to work well in most situations. It simply shows you’re willing to learn from someone else’s input.
You can also review this email example:
Dear Team,
This is the work I’ve completed so far. I value any feedback you can give me to ensure this project is up to scratch!
Thank you so much, Rodney Dangerfield
Please Share Your Thoughts [Feedback From Customers]
Finally, we’d like to go over how to discuss feedback with customers.
In this context, you can ask customers for reviews. Generally, if they’ve bought a product from you, it’s good to ask them what they think of it.
Therefore, “please share your thoughts” is a great alternative to use.
It allows you to ask for a direct review of a product. And most of the time, customers will be happy to oblige if you ask them in a respectful and polite way.
You can’t go wrong with “please share your thoughts.”
Since it’s so polite, it won’t offend the customer. Even if they don’t want to leave a review, you can still use this phrase to let them know you’d like to hear from them.
Perhaps this email example will help you if you’re still unsure:
Dear Mr. Hugh,
Thank you so much for purchasing our product. Please share your thoughts when you have a moment to let us know more.
“Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We will share this with the store team to let them know to keep up the amazing work.”
“We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review.”
"Thank you so much for this 5-star review. We really appreciate you being a customer and helping to share the word about us. We’re here for you anytime.”
“We are so grateful for your 5-star review. Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community.”
"Thank you for the 5 star rating."
"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5 star rating - it's much appreciated!"
"Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review."

"Thank you so much for this review. We really appreciate you being a customer. We’re here for you anytime.”

Adding Custom Location Name Variables
Using the saved reply templates of the LocalClarity platform, you can easily include variables to customize each response automatically.
“Thank you so much for your positive rating for your recent visit to {{replyLocationName}}.” “We're happy to see that you had a 5-Star experience at {{replyLocationName}}. Thanks for sharing.” “The team here at {{replyLocationName}} is thrilled to receive such a great rating, thank you.” “Thank you so much for the positive rating. We're happy that you're happy, and we're looking forward to your next visit to {{replyLocationName}}.” “Thanks for the 5-star review. The team at {{{replyLocationName}} is thrilled you’re happy with your recent store visit.” “Thank you so much for this great 5-star review. We really appreciate your business and helping to share the word about {{replyLocationName}}.” “Thanks so much for giving us your take on how we are doing. We're glad that customers like you are having a great experience at {{replyLocationName}}.” “Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at {{replyLocationName}}. We take pride in knowing our customers are happy with their store experience.” On behalf us all of us at {{replyLocationName}}, I would like to thank you for sharing this great review about our store! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your experience. “Seeing that you had a 5-Star experience is the best thing we could hope for! Your review means a lot to us. Thank you for choosing {{replyLocationName}}. We look forward to serving you for many years to come!” Thank you for the great review! We can’t wait to have you back at {{replyLocationName}}.
Custom GEO Name Variables
To further customize any saved reply templates, LocalClarity offers additional variables that can be set for each location. These help brands to customize by state, city, neighborhood, or any formal or informal way to refer to the business locally. Examples might be the "Exit 230 Shell Station", "Times Square Starbucks" or "Wrigleyville McDonalds".
“Thank you for taking the time to share this positive rating! We will make sure to share this with the store team to let them know to keep up the amazing work and hope you'll stop by again soon when you're in {{replyGeoLocationName}}.” “Thank you so much for this great 5-star review. We really appreciate your business and helping to share the word about {{replyLocationName}} in {{replyGeoLocationName}}.”
Thank you for your review. The entire team in {{replyLocationName}} really appreciates it.
Reviewer First Name [assumed] Variable
Although most platforms pass to LocalClarity the reviewer's name as a single field, the platform breaks out the text prior to the first space to give an assumed first name. While not recommended for Intelligent Auto Responses, this is a great way to easily personalize a response.
Thank you for the kind rating, {{reviewerFirstName}}! We’re so happy your visit at {{replyLocationName}} went well. “{{reviewerFirstName}}, thank you so much for your positive rating for your recent visit to {{replyLocationName}}.” “{{reviewerFirstName}}, we're happy to see that you had a 5-Star experience at {{replyLocationName}}. Thanks for sharing.” “{{reviewerFirstName}}, the team here at {{replyLocationName}} is thrilled to receive such a great rating, thank you.”
Hi {{reviewerFirstName}}, thank you for taking the time to provide a rating, your opinion is valued greatly and it helps us maintain an excellent standard of service to our customers.
