And it kind of stinks because the ideal time to get someone to leave a review is to do so right after they purchased and are at their happiest.

I know of a couple ways around this, but one of the ones I like best is to put up a QR code pointing to one of your review sites on a sheet asking people to leave a review. Post it on the receptionist’s desk and have the sales folks encourage people to leave a review.

Ex: There are car dealerships that are asking customers to post their reviews on a computer in the dealership. While the review may be genuine, the review sites are going to see postings all from 1 IP address.
