Online Credibility
You get more business from people and companies that you know. How do you increase the power of this word of mouth? Build your credibility. Your reputation helps you stand out.
Who is your target audience when it comes to credibility and reputation? Is that your customers and prospects? Or, is that your employees and investors? Or, do you rather worry about your channel partners? The online credibility is about all of them. It encompasses everyone we meet or are involved with.
Now the information exchange media is being digitized, and your online identity is getting more important than ever.
You and your business are "searchable". And people will check you out before engaging in the new business transactions. Because it's so easy, and the stakes are so high.
This gives you an opportunity to put that to use to build your credibility.
It's also a potential danger to you or your business, if you aren't aware of it. You might be blind sided and hurting your business even without realizing it.
