We used to be swayed by traditional advertising and clever campaigns, but in the social age that has all changed. If you talk about yourself or your company too much you are labeled a self-promoter or a spammer. It’s time to let other people do the talking for you.
The last time you bought something online, did you read the reviews? Did you research the product until you found enough five star reviews to make the purchase? This is how customers behave now and building relationships with your target market is no longer enough.
In the ‘Testimonial Economy,’ a company has to earn the trust and respect of their customers, so they organically become champions of their brands, either personal or organizational.
On Wednesday, July 26, 2017, at 1 pm ET, #WorkTrends host Meghan M. Biro and her special guest, Mark Babbitt, CEO at YouTern will discuss the importance of building your reputation through brand evangelism.
