A brand’s image is a significant factor that weighs into a consumer’s decision to buy. If you’re currently in good standing in your industry, it’s obvious to you by now that reputations aren’t built in a day. They require a strong dedication to customer satisfaction. Yet, no matter how long it took you to build the positive outlook of your brand, your reputation can crumble over a slight miscommunication or mishandling of customer feedback. For this reason, our COO, Julia Becker Collins, and Communications Manager, Catrina Gardner, hosted a Business Bootcamp webinar discussing the keys to protecting your brand’s reputation.

What You’ll Learn About Reputation Management

This webinar is ideal for entrepreneurs looking to build and maintain a strong rapport with their audience and for established business owners who want to maintain the reputation they worked so hard to build. Our COO, Julia Becker Collins, and Communications Manager, Catrina Gardner, will provide valuable insights, such as:

• Acknowledging positive reviews, especially since they are so hard to come by in business
• Addressing negative reviews in a way that appreciates the customer’s feedback
• Learning how each of the review platforms interacts with one another
• Understanding how reviews influence consumers’ buying decisions
• Responding to reviews and social media comments as a means to show engagement
• Using negative reviews as a way to learn from your mistakes and improve operations

You will also learn the importance of claiming ownership of your business on Google and how to set up a system to receive notifications every time someone leaves a review about your business.
