Sales can decrease, and momentum is lost. The only thing that is more frustrating is when the reputational damage is self-inflicted through fumbled rollouts, poorly constructed designs, mismanaged campaigns, or missed branding opportunities. Yet, many businesses don't have a coherent marketing strategy for managing their reputation.  They’re not sure what their reputation looks like.  Click here for a no-charge reputation report custom-produced for your business.
