1. Identify Reputational Challenges.
You can't be too busy to build a good reputation. Using a combination of digital and in-person tools, we look for any reputational gaps that might suggest the following:
- The right people don’t see you often enough, or at all.
- You are getting seen by the wrong people.
- Competitors are outshining you.
- You have no client testimonials or involvement in industry groups.
- Online messaging about your expertise is inconsistent—or outdated.
- You think excellent customer service is all you need to do.
