Whatever Market or Activity you're in, Business to Consumer (B to C), Business to Business (B to B), or Size or your Company, from one to thousands of locations, your Business, Brand, Products or Services fall into one of these 4 categories:

Which Category best describes your Business?

I have NO REPUTATION

If your Company doesn't work in markets exposed to Consumer Reviews (Hotels, Restaurants...) and has not worked on its Reputation yet, it most likely falls into this category. Having NO REPUTATION is considered as harmful as having a BAD REPUTATION!

I have a BAD REPUTATION

If you are in this position, it's time to ACT! A BAD REPUTATION can be hard to repair depending on how damaged it is, but it can be done... and fairly quickly if you implement the right strategies.

I have a GOOD REPUTATION but Very Little Feedback

You are certainly on the right track. Most likely, your Products or Services are outstanding but not enough of your customers give feedback. What would happen in the event of a downturn? Are you prepared? Your Good Reputation has not yet reached the threshold where you can just sit back and relax!

I have a GOOD REPUTATION and LOTS of Feedback

Great! You have earned your 5 stars... but are you spending countless hours monitoring your Reputation, making sure it remains the same across the many Social and Review Sites! Wouldn't your time be better spent working ON your Business? Are you using the full power of Customer Intelligence to increase Sales?
